Taponga Campground is located within the Big River State Forest in Victoria, Australia, situated near the Taponga River.

The campsite is described as large and protected, though it sits close to the road and is set back from the river, with the river itself accessible via a walking track through dense bush.

The Taponga River, which gives the campground its name, is a perennial inland river within the Goulburn Broken catchment and part of the Murray-Darling basin. It rises in the Victorian Alps near the Great Dividing Range.

The campground is one of several free camping options spread throughout the Big River State Forest.
