Information

Located up in the forest 15km from Lorne with tar road access. This is a very small gravel carpark with a few bookable caravan/motorhome sites and a grassed area for tents. Bookings required. No dogs. Pit toilet only. Tank (no potable water). Lovely forest trees and a swamp attract wildlife.
Sites 1-7 are suitable for tents only, while sites 8-13 cater for camper trailers and caravans (very tight). All campsites are unpowered.
Campground facilities include non-flush toilets, shared fireplaces and shared low tables/seats. Remember to bring your own firewood to protect the surrounding wildlife habitat.
Advanced bookings and payment are required year-round.
