Aysons Reserve

Aysons Reserve is a free, popular riverside camping area situated on the banks of the Campaspe River, about 8 km north-east of Elmore in Victoria, accessed via Burnewang Road off the Midland Highway.

The large grassy site accommodates camper trailers, caravans, and big rigs, with facilities including flush toilets (BYO toilet paper), non-potable water, and a dump point. A small boat ramp is nearby. Campfires are permitted subject to CFA restrictions.

The reserve suits a range of activities including fishing, swimming, kayaking, canoeing, boating, and bird watching.

The Campaspe River is fairly wide and deep with generally slow currents, making it well suited to small watercraft, though submerged fallen trees are present. Dogs are welcome on a leash.

Stays of up to three days and two nights require no permit; longer stays up to a maximum of 28 days per year require a free permit obtained through Campaspe Shire Council.

The gravel access road is manageable by two-wheel drive in dry conditions; four-wheel drive is recommended when wet. The township of Elmore, a short drive away, offers shops and services.
