Smythesdale Gardens

Smythesdale Gardens Reserve is a volunteer-managed campground situated along the Woady Yaloak River (Smythe Creek) near the small gold-rush town of Smythesdale, Victoria, about 135 kilometres west of Melbourne on the Glenelg Highway.

The site occupies a large, open grassed flat shaded by mature pines, with the river forming a natural swimming hole at an old ford. The campground accommodates tents, campervans, and caravans (in good weather) and is run on a donation basis.

Facilities include flush toilets, hot showers, a communal camp kitchen, BBQ area, campfire area, picnic tables, and a children's playground. Stays are limited to 72 hours. The campground is a short walk from Smythesdale's town centre.
