Anakie Gorge Getaway is situated on 25-acres of serene bushland that merges with the Brisbane Ranges National Park and is directly adjacent to the entrance of Anakie Gorge Walk. This private camp is located on beautiful open grassland just 25 minutes from Geelong, 35 minutes to the Spirit of Tasmania dock in Corio Quay, and 40 minutes from Melbourne. With no camping permitted at Anakie Gorge, our property gives you a tranquil overnight stay in direct proximity for an early start to the Anakie Gorge Walk without having to drive home at the end of the day. Choose from 3 carefully selected camp sites and set up base camp to enjoy day trips exploring the local wineries, such as del Rios, walking and cycling trails of the You Yangs State Park, and Serendip Wildlife Sanctuary, or as a convenient overnight stop on your way to explore the Great Ocean Road or before/after your trip on the Spirit of Tasmania. The camping area is easily accessed from maintained roads, where guests can drive in and park on the spacious lower paddock (no reversing or 3-point-turns necessary). As this beautiful, secluded location is off-grid, guests will need to be Self Contained (BYO toilet/shower) and Leave No Trace. If you would like to enjoy our property all to yourself, simply book two of the campsites, and send us a message and we will happily reserve the 3rd campsite for your group free of charge. We are happy to consider additional guests and up to 1 extra vehicle per campsite (camping with your friends, their kids and yours is more fun!) however, ensure to contact the Host to request and arrange this at the time of booking. We expect our guests to be quiet and respectful to neighbouring farming families/properties. Parties and large groups are strictly not permitted. Please take everything with you and leave the site as you found it. Extra charges will apply for any rubbish, food scraps etc left on site. Amenities: ‘Long Drop’ toilets, BBQs and picnic tables are available a short walk away at the Anakie Gorge Picnic grounds. When visiting the Anakie Gorge Walk/Picnic Grounds (Brisbane Ranges National Park) please observe and abide by the rules of Parks Victoria. Due to our immediate proximity to farms and the Brisbane Ranges National Park the following are strictly NOT permitted: dogs, cats, pets, drones. Strictly NO fires, NO firearms, NO hunting permitted.

Sunrise View Campsite

Very clean and neat site in terms of cut grass and no rubbish. Unfortunately there was a kangaroo carcass close by and lots of flying carpenter ants.

Grassland Corner Campsite

Grassland Corner Campsite #3, Anakie Gorge Getaway is far away from road noise but close enough from the main road to be a convenient camp spot. Beautiful bush scenery with sheep & alpaca? present upon arrival, with the Brisbane Ranges National Park rolling hills for a backdrop. We camped a Friday night with 1 other camper present but far away enough for plenty of space to ourselves. The area was freshly mowed & flat with a slight incline around the edges along the fence line. Ample turning space for any big rig. A 5-minute walk, at most, to the Brisbane Ranges National Park car park where you’ll find long drop toilets, many shaded picnic tables scattered around & a camp fire bbq or electric bbq. An excellent location. 24-hours notice to book but I was able to negotiate a same-day booking with Paul who had fantastic timely & informative communication. Thank you!

Grassland Corner Campsite

It was great camping at Grassland Corner site. The sites were well spaced and private. It was a quick walk to Anakie Gorge picnic area. Paul was easy to communicate with and directions easy to follow. I would stay again.
