Murrindindi Scenic Reserve

Murrindindi Scenic Reserve is a large tract of mixed-species forest about 1. 5 hours northeast of Melbourne, set along the Murrindindi River and encompassing waterfalls, tree fern gullies, and diverse wildlife.

Six to seven riverside camping areas are spread through the reserve, ranging from drive-in sites suitable for small caravans to walk-in bush camps.

Basic facilities including toilets, fireplaces, and picnic tables are available at most sites, with flushing toilets at select campgrounds. The reserve suits a wide range of outdoor pursuits, including bushwalking, birdwatching, fishing, and paddling.

The Murrindindi River Walk runs 12 km end to end, passing through most camping areas and leading to the Cascades waterfall. Wilhelmina Falls, a 75-metre drop, is accessible via an approximately two-hour return hike from the Water Gauge campsite.

A modest per-vehicle camping fee applies, payable via an honesty box or online.
