We are offering our paddock for easy, convenient camping. We are located half way ( 20mins drive ) between Bairnsdale and Lakes Entrance. Our local pub and general store are only a 6 minute drive away. Our place offers an access gate onto the famous 'East GippslandRail Trail'. The paddock itself is roughly 4 acres. We are happy to have horses stay as well as dogs so long as temporary fencing is provided by equine owners. Check out the famous 90mile beach, and even the locally owned buisness 'venture out' that hires stand up paddle boards/bikes and more for your convenience located in lakes entrance. Although we do not offer toilets and showers, there are toilets and showers only 6minutes drive down the road at the local Johnsonville boat ramp, and also a dumping point at Nicholson boat ramp (10minutes drive). We have lots of amazing fishing spots on offer in our area, some are as little as (5mins) away. Boat ramp located only (6mins drive) at Johnsonville. We welcome boats to stay also but do recommend flushing your boats at one of the local car washes, due to us not offering the facilities to complete your boat care. We are also only 15minutes from the Metung hot springs. Or head the other way to Paynesville and Raymond Island to see the Koalas and kangaroos and have a dining experience with a water view (only 35mins drive). We have our beautiful local swim spot at Tambo Bay (14-minute drive) from our camping paddock, that's perfect for a wind down on a summer's day. Or if you just want to relax and wind down, you might just enjoy admiring the birds around you and the frogs singing from dusk till dawn in the dam located within the camping paddock. Pets are welcome, we ask that you take all rubbish with you on departure.Paddock is dispersed, we know we like to choose our own camp spot so like to offer others the same option. Please be respectful when choosing your site, ensuring no gates are being blocked, and with total bookings limited to 4 there is no need to park on top of a fellow camper. please enjoy your stay and take in our special place we call home.

Road side quiet paddock camping

Tent · Group trip

Road side paddock. Quiet still. Stayed here on a Friday night doing the Haunted Stream. Did the long run on Friday after work to have the full day on the tracks. Hosts were easy going and easy access too. Thank you!

We enjoyed our 2 night stay. Nice country view. The rail trail only a few minutes walk away for a nice scenic walk (or ride). Close to the road but not noisy at night at all. Thanks to our host Sarah-Kate.
