Abbeyards Campground

Abbeyards is a historic bush camping area situated along the upper Buffalo River in the Buffalo River State Forest of northeast Victoria, roughly 50 km south of Myrtleford. The area dates to 1877, when it served as a homestead with a log cabin and stockyards.

Today it is a popular free camping destination known for its scenic, secluded setting. The campground offers a small number of unpowered sites — a riverside flat with level, grassed, and reasonably well-shaded ground suitable for tents and camper trailers.

Sites sit close to the water, and the area is accessed via gravel roads off Abbeyards Road. As a State Forest camping area managed by DELWP, facilities are minimal, and visitors should come self-sufficient.
