Dandos Campingground

Dandos Campground sits on a tranquil bend of the Gellibrand River in the Otway State Park, roughly 2. 5 hours south-west of Melbourne in Victoria.

The spacious, north-facing flat offers around 20 unpowered campsites on gently sloping grass beneath a light eucalypt canopy, with a separate area for day visitors. Basic facilities include toilets, picnic tables, and firepits with barbecue plates.

The site is well suited to fishing, swimming, and picnicking beside the river, which is accessible year-round. A secluded waterhole to the north-west of the site is a popular warm-weather destination.

The surrounding Otway region provides opportunities for walking and four-wheel driving, making Dandos a practical base for exploring the broader national and state park network. The campground is accessible to 2WD vehicles and small caravans.
