Planning your trip
Parks Victoria runs Lerderderg Campground, Boar Gully Campground and Burchell Trail Camping. Firth Park, Koolaroo Track, Carrolls Spring and Hunts Bridge Picnic And Camping Area are state forest camping areas run by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, so the state forest camping rules apply there.
Because it is so close to the city, campsites here can be busy on weekends and public holidays. Use the Parks Victoria page for park campgrounds and the Explore Outdoors Victoria pages for forest camping areas. Check fire restrictions before you travel, as forest camping can be affected by fire danger days.
