This is a hike-in campsite, so you will need to walk around 2 hours from the car park to the campsite while carrying your own gear, including your tent, sleeping bag, food and water.

Please make sure you arrive early enough to reach the campsite before dark. Refer to the hiking plan and group chat updates for timing.

There is a supermarket near the car park area, around 2 hours away from the campsite, with staples and daily essentials such as bread, milk, ice and gas, as well as coffee and takeaway food. Please purchase anything you need before starting the hike.

• Drop toilets are available, but toilet paper is not supplied
• You will need to bring your own tent, sleeping bag, towel, food and drinks
• Carry lightweight food, as you must carry everything in and out
• The site is unpowered
• No campfires are allowed
• Rubbish must not be left behind, buried or placed in toilets. Everyone must carry their own rubbish out
• Please leave the campsite clean and tidy
• Keep to walking tracks at all times
• Group size limits may apply, so please follow Parks Victoria requirements
