Stockmans Reward Campground
Stockmans Reward Campground
Stockmans Reward Campground sits within the Upper Big River State Forest at the junction of Arnold Creek and the Big River, roughly 34 km east of Big River Road north of Eildon, Victoria.
The free, first-come-first-served site offers level gravel bays beneath tall eucalypts, with basic drop-toilet facilities and wood barbecue pits. Shallow rock pools along the creek edge provide swimming opportunities.
The area carries a rich history: deep lead gold mining was conducted nearby, a steam-driven dredge operated here in the 1920s, and the site was once known as Stockman's Crossing, where the old Yarra track crossed the Big River en route to the Woods Point goldfields.
Cattle were also grazed in the surrounding forest until the 1960s. No bookings are required, and stays of up to 14 nights are permitted. There are no powered sites or drinking water on-site, so visitors should arrive self-sufficient.
