Starlings Gap Campground

Surrounded by mountain ash forest and a stone’s throw from a cool temperate rainforest, Starlings Gap provides the perfect base to explore Yarra State Forest.

Camp or picnic among the towering mountain ash trees in this open, grassy campground, less than two hours drive east of Melbourne.

Starlings Gap has everything you need, including picnic tables, firepits, toilets and shelter. This central location makes it easy to explore the surrounding forest attractions. Drive or hike to the nearby Ada Tree, or enjoy other forest attractions, including Seven Acre Rock.

A short walk from the site will take you to an old boiler and sawdust heap that are remnants of the timber mill that once stood in this location.

Starlings Gap provides tent-based camping for families and hikers on the magnificent Walk Into History overnight hike.
