Latrobe River Camping Area

The Latrobe River Camping Area is located in the Yarra Valley, close to Melbourne Victoria Australia and offers free basic camping, with dogs allowed. The area is popular with bushwalkers. It is recommended you carry your own fuel or gas stove, fresh drinking water and firewood. A ranger patrols the area. This is a fairly new camping area established on a forested hillside well above the Latrobe River. To access, continue past the Latrobe River Picnic area to a gravelled drive which leads to 3 dispersed cul-de-sac clearings and a parking area for your vehicle. All camping sites offer good shade provided by Narrow-leaved Peppermint and Mountain Ash with thick undergrowth and bush. There is a short walking track which leads down to the Latrobe River.
