About UPCC

Welcome to UPCC — a family-run school and church camp site in Victoria, at the foot of Mount Disappointment, just one hour north of Melbourne's CBD.

Nestled in 300 acres of natural Aussie bush, our mudbrick and hand-adzed timber lodges offer group accommodation for school camps, church retreats and community groups. Nature, comfort and adventure come together for unforgettable outdoor education experiences — and as a family-run camp, we aim to offer that at a more affordable price than many comparable sites without lowering our standards.

Comfort & Facilities

  • Accommodation: With 140 beds in 21 bedrooms, we ensure your comfort with cozy bedding and en-suite or bathroom facilities in each lodge.
  • Dining & Catering: Fully catered meals in our dining room (seats up to 140) — hearty, home-style food with generous serves. Guests often comment on the quality and quantity of the food. We cater for dietary needs as well.
  • Climate Control: We provide ample heating & cooling with underfloor heating, wood fires, and modern split systems.
  • Value: Many groups find UPCC more affordable than other Victorian camp sites — with a high-quality camp experience including catering, activities and exclusive site use.
