Camping in the Grampians
46 campgrounds · 3 with powered sites · 23 with tent sites
The Grampians, or Gariwerd, rise out of the plains of western Victoria in a line of sandstone ranges, and Halls Gap sits right at their feet in the Fyans Valley, about three hours from Melbourne. Mount William, at 1,167 metres, is the park's highest peak, and the 164 km Grampians Peaks Trail runs the whole length of the park.
Where is the best place to camp in the Grampians?
The choice is a town park in Halls Gap or a camp in the national park. Halls Gap keeps you close to the shops, the pool and the Wonderland walks, and Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park has powered sites and wifi. Inside the park, bush camps such as Smiths Mill near Zumsteins put you closer to Mackenzie Falls and the quieter northern ranges, and east of the park, Lake Lonsdale has a string of simple lakeside camps.
What is there to do in the Grampians with kids?
Right in Halls Gap, the Brambuk Cultural Centre is described as Australia's longest-running Aboriginal cultural centre, the Halls Gap Zoo is a few minutes' drive away, and the town pool is next to the caravan parks. In Ararat, the Gum San Chinese Heritage Museum tells the story of the Chinese miners who came after gold was found near the town in 1854.

What are the best walks and waterfalls in the Grampians?
From Halls Gap, the Wonderland Loop takes in the Grand Canyon and the Pinnacle lookout. Mackenzie Falls is the park's best-known waterfall, and Silverband Falls, Clematis Falls and Fern Tree Falls are all within reach, along with the Balconies rock formation and Boroka Lookout. For older, fitter walkers, the Grampians Peaks Trail takes about 13 days end to end.
Are there powered sites in the Grampians?
Yes. 3 campgrounds here have powered sites confirmed: Gar Hike-in Campground, Werdug Hike-in Campground and Halls Gap Lakeside Tourist Park. For the rest we are still confirming, so check with the park or holiday park before you book a powered site.
How far are the Grampians from Melbourne?
Halls Gap is about 253 km north-west of Melbourne, roughly a three-hour drive, and Ararat, on the Western Highway, about 198 km west.
