Camping in Gippsland
104 campgrounds · 4 with powered sites · 2 with a dump point · 4 with tent sites
Gippsland is big enough to be four different trips: the granite bays of Wilsons Promontory, the long, empty sand of the Ninety Mile Beach, the old gold town of Walhalla in the mountains, and the rainforest gullies of the Strzelecki Ranges. The Prom alone, about 157 km from Melbourne, is the southernmost national park on the mainland.
Where is the best place to camp in Gippsland?
For Wilsons Promontory, Tidal River inside the park is where the main walks start, and outside the park there is bush camping at Bear Gully near Tarwin Lower. Along the Ninety Mile Beach, 151 km of unbroken sand with the Gippsland Lakes behind the dunes, the camps at Golden Beach, Seaspray and Loch Sport sit a short walk from the sand. Inland, Rawson Caravan Park is the base for Walhalla and Baw Baw, and near Heyfield, Montana on the Macalister is close to Lake Glenmaggie, used for waterskiing and boating.
What is there to do in Gippsland with kids?
Up at Walhalla, a gold town founded in 1862 that once had around 4,000 people, the gold mine tour and the Walhalla Goldfields Railway are close to the camps, and a 7.7 km rail trail follows the old line to Erica. In the Latrobe Valley, Powerworks is in Morwell, and at Korumburra, Coal Creek is a heritage park and museum. On the Baw Baw plateau, the snow-gum forest is the only known home of the critically endangered Baw Baw frog.

What are the best walks and waterfalls in Gippsland?
At the Prom, the Squeaky Beach walk from Tidal River is 4.2 km return, about an hour and a half, to sand that squeaks underfoot, and the Three Bays Walk carries on past Picnic Bay to Whisky Bay. North of Yarram, Tarra-Bulga National Park protects some of the last untouched rainforest in the Strzelecki Ranges, with Tarra Falls in the valley, and Agnes Falls and Toorongo Falls are other waterfalls worth the drive.
Is it safe to swim in Gippsland?
Take care at the Prom: Squeaky Beach is not patrolled, and the Ninety Mile Beach faces open Bass Strait.
Do you need to book campsites in Gippsland?
For Tidal River, yes. It is managed by Parks Victoria and fills early for summer and the school holidays, so book as far ahead as you can.
Are there powered sites in Gippsland?
Yes. 4 campgrounds here have powered sites confirmed, including Montana on the Macalister, Korumburra Tourist Park and Long Jetty Caravan Park. For the rest we are still confirming, so check with the park or holiday park before you book a powered site.
How far is Wilsons Promontory from Melbourne?
Wilsons Promontory is about 157 km south-east of Melbourne. Warragul is 102 km, Baw Baw National Park about 120 km, Traralgon about 160 km and Walhalla about 180 km from the city.
