Latrobe River Camping Area

Free bush camping in the Yarra State Forest. The campground is a short walk away from the Latrobe River, with easy access to the main road. Camping is on a first-come-first-served basis and no bookings are required, but early arrival may be advisable during peak periods.

Facilities include non-flush toilets, picnic tables, and fire pits.

There is no rubbish collection service, so please take your rubbish home. If you have the misfortune to come across other people's rubbish, do the bush a favor and take it out with you too.

Take care with fire and observe all fire regulations and Total Fire Ban days. Use existing fireplaces rather than create your own. Never leave fires unattended. Ensure fires are safe and that they are completely extinguished when you leave. Only light fires in fireplaces or 30 cm deep trenches. Fires must be less than 1 meter square and at least 3 m clear of burnable material.

Dogs are allowed in State forests but must be under direct control at all times and are expected to be kept on a leash in picnic and camping areas or when near other visitors.
