Latrobe River Campground and Walk

This scenic campground in the Yarra State Forest – just over 1.5 hours east of Melbourne – offers a beautiful, secluded camping experience.

The campground accommodates vehicle-based camping with a couple of tent-only campsites. Each campsite has its own fire pit and a vegetation barrier that separates the sites and provides privacy between camping groups. There is a sheltered day visitor area with a picnic shelter, picnic benches and wood-fire BBQ adjacent to a large grassy space.

Come here for your next nature escape and soak in the serenity of the surrounding mountain ash forest. Base yourself here and enjoy access to several nearby natural attractions, including the Ada Tree and Seven Acre Rock. This is a popular area for bushwalking and hiking.

A path offers a gentle 800 metre walk down to the banks of the Latrobe River. At the end of the path, visitors can enjoy a recently installed boardwalk that follows the banks of the river. An ideal spot for taking photos, the boardwalk meanders through the fern gully next to the river so you can enjoy the peaceful sights and sounds of the river and forest.
