Victorian Government Free Camping announcement.

This week, the government has announced that camping will be free at Parks Victoria sites over the summer.
As a self-funded public reserve receiving NO regular ongoing financial assistance from local, State, or Federal governments and not part of Parks Victoria, we are unable to offer free camping.
The money we receive from camping and parking charges is the ONLY money we get to help run and maintain our Park.
100% of the money we earn through camping and parking fees goes back into our Park

Check In / Check Out Times

Check in time is strictly after 1 pm. The office does not open for arrivals until 1 pm.
Upon check in we will provide you with a map of the sites, the toilet access code and your campers car pass

Your  campers car pass will grant you free entry to the reserve over the weekend when the ticket box is open, it also  informs all our staff that you are paid up , (this will stop our team from waking you up really early in the morning with a bunch of silly questions!) please ensure that your car pass is clearly displayed on your dash

Check out time is 11.30 am.
