Milleara Gardens – Mirboo North, Victoria

About Milleara Gardens

Nestled just a few kilometres from Mirboo North, Milleara Gardens offers a sheltered private bush camping experience in the heart of South Gippsland’s Strzelecki Ranges. This low-key site suits travellers chasing a quiet base within easy reach of the Grand Ridge Rail Trail, Lyrebird Forest Walk and the region’s iconic cool-climate countryside. Set back from the road and protected from strong winds, the property provides level grassed areas that work for tents, camper trailers and self-contained caravans. A composting toilet is available; most guests bring their own water and off-grid setup. Small campfire BBQs are permitted when conditions allow (strictly no fires on Total Fire Ban days).

Access is straightforward via sealed roads into Mirboo North, then short local lanes to the property. Mobile phone coverage is generally available but varies by carrier in the hills. Pets are welcome when kept under control, and the host can advise on best spots for shade and privacy. From camp you can explore Mirboo North’s eateries and the award-winning Grand Ridge Brewery, then wander Baromi Park or roll the bikes onto the 13-kilometre rail trail to Boolarra. Short drives reach waterfalls at Turtons Creek and the rolling farmland vistas that define the district.

Essentials are close by: fuel and the RV dump point at the BP on Ridgway, public toilets in Baromi Park, and groceries on the main street. Whether you’re overnighting between Gippsland adventures or settling in for a few days of quiet, Milleara Gardens puts you close to the action while keeping the vibe relaxed and rural. Book ahead in peak periods, respect farm biosecurity and fire rules, and pack to be largely self-sufficient—then settle in under the gums and enjoy a classic country stay.
