The best camping near Bright

The picturesque, historic town of Bright, in the heart of Victoria’s High Country, offers a diverse, action-packed getaway: great restaurants, breweries and wineries, plus walking and biking trails. Bright is also the starting point for the popular Murray to Mountains Rail Trail. During Autumn, the township’s oaks, elms, poplars and Japanese maples explode into colour. Campers to the area are spoilt for choice. The 230-kilometre Bogong Alpine Way loops through Bright, as well as Mount Beauty, Falls Creek and over Dinner Plain and Mount Hotham. Holiday parks closer to town cater well to families, with caravan sites and cabins, while elsewhere, bush camping is at specified sites within Buckland Valley State Forest, Mount Buffalo National Park and Alpine National Park.Bright is a useful base for exploring Mount Buffalo National Park and Alpine National Park as well as Mount Hotham, a popular ski resort, and the nearby alpine village of Dinner Plain. Mount Buffalo National Park is a magnet for nature freaks and adventurers. The unique rock formations are perfect for climbers and alpine fun includes hiking, cycling and fly fishing. Winter brings cross-country ski trails. Mount Buffalo has two remote hike-in camping experiences, plus Lake Catani campground that is suitable for caravans and campervans, as well as tent campsites (it’s BYO water here).A range of attractive High Country hamlets, former gold-mining settlements, surround Bright and all are within a half hour drive or less. Harrietville sits at the base of the Victorian Alps. Like Bright, the town’s draw card is the blast of colours of autumnal foliage. Local cuisine and wine are special to Mytleford, a half hour north of Bright. Here, Ardern's Caravan Park has a handy access to the local biking route, the Murray to the Mountains Rail Trail. A 6km walking trail connects Bright to Wandiligong, a former gold-mining settlement with quaint, historic buildings. Wandiligong Camping Ground is a relaxed spot surrounded by tree ferns and set on a creek. Tiny Porepunkah, only six kilometres from Bright, offers big things for campers: three holiday parks.

Wandi Farm is a small scale produce farm under development. It is set on 3 acres on the eastern (sunny) side of the beautiful Wandiligong Valley, just 5 minute drive from Bright. The property is on the side of a hill, which provides spectacular valley views to the north. Our family live in the recently completed straw bale house on the property, which sits well below the camping sites. The property has a fully functional camp kitchen with a large deck as well as a bathroom with toilet and shower. Due to the slope the tent sites are not suitable for camp trailers (the tent sites are flat but there is nowhere flat to park a car next to it) and the tent sites are not suitable for vehicles. Therefore we can only accommodate people with tents/swags.

If you are a keen fisherman, the King River is known for Cod and if you have booked one of the southern most sites you will be able to paddle up the river in a kayak fishing, (kayak not supplied). There are no toilets available onsite and campers must be self-contained keeping in mind, there are toilet facilities at the Oxley Park. Pets are welcome but, must be contained within your site as there are livestock and other campers to consider. For more accuate information pertainnig to each site check out the specific listings/sites. Some sites are set up for group bookings and others for couples with pricing to match.

One of the best places we’ve stayed! A beautiful, private and spacious camping area with stunning views and plenty of room for the dog to roam off-lead. The shed is incredibly handy, with a fridge, microwave, cold shower, laundry sink for washing dishes, couches and a dining table – perfect for getting out of the rain and relaxing. There’s also a covered outdoor section where you can store gear and equipment if needed. Ideally located, just a short distance from plenty of great wineries and beautiful towns, right on the doorstep of the High Country. We absolutely loved our stay and will definitely be back!

We had such a great weekend here with our baby and pup! Such a great spot. Easy access with our car and lots of space to set up the tent along the trees with some shade. There some noise from the road occasionally but nothing too bad, mostly beautiful songs from all of the birds! The host was super helpful every step of the way and even dropped off extra firewood in the rain. Thanks for a great camp spot!

Weekend Trip to Riverside King Valley

We had such a wonderful stay. Daemon made us feel so welcome and escorted us to our beautifully kept spot under the flowering trees. Even freshly mowed it for us. The spot was peaceful with plenty of room for the kids to play and explore. Enjoyed some fishing and an amazing campfire. Super dog friendly and we look forward to visiting again. Highly recommend!

Awesome spot just minutes from Albury. Camped on the banks of the Murray for 2 nights sharing the area with some nice looking Rib-eye Steak 🙂 Fire pit was well utilised on the cool nights. Sites are well spread out and only had one other caravan for one of the nights. Thankyou Vicki and Byron for sharing your beautiful piece of paradise with us.

Weekend Trip to Willowood

I can't remember how many times we have stayed at Willowood already but what I do know is we will continue to return! This was our 1st stay at site 4 and it did not disappoint. A beautiful big clearing beside a lovely but Willow and Gum Trees. So private, sheltered from the wind and the cows can still visit. As per listing, no swimming access to the river so great for the cooler months. Sites 1, 2 & 3 are the pick if you fancy a dip in the Ovens. Thanks guys, see you next month!
