What a lovely spot. The directions were clear and easy to follow. David came by to make sure we're ok and was lovely to have a chat with. Walking distance to the pub. Had a fantastic night and being able to have a fire with wood supplied was great. Definitely recommend.

We loved camping at the Old Blackwood Timber Mills. We camped right next to the river access which was beautiful to swim in and loved that Wayne also had canoes available for us. There is also a beautiful swimming hole you can walk down to. Wayne was super helpful and I would love to return.

Really great spot, 15 mins away from popular swimming areas and the beach. David was lovely and ensured we had everything we needed to be comfortable. As we had dogs, we loved the fact that it was a private site, they could sniff and roam. There is flat spots for tents, and trees to tie a hammock.
Would stay here again!

David was a super friendly and helpful host who really cared about our comfort, especially with the wet weather. Julie sent great directions before we arrived, and everything was easy to find. We felt safe and relaxed here during our stay.
The campsite was nicely tucked away from the summer crowds in Merimbula, but it was still an easy drive to the beach when we felt like heading out. Wolumla Pub is only five minutes away and perfect for a meal.
Waking up to calves grazing in the nearby paddock was such a treat. Highly recommend this spot if you want to explore the area but still enjoy plenty of space and peace.

The best mountainous camping near Mallacoota guide
Where to go
Croajingolong National Park
Granite cliffs, rocky headlands, and white-sand beaches stretch along the coast at Croajingolong National Park, just a short drive south of Mallacoota. Paddle around the inlets in a kayak or canoe, hike along rugged coastal trails, and look out for wildlife, including koalas, platypuses, whales, and more than 300 species of bird. The five national park campgrounds have unpowered sites with BBQs, picnic tables, and non-flush toilets.
Gabo Island
Marooned off the coast of Mallacoota and Cape Howe, Gabo Island is known for its rocky shores, diverse wildlife, and historic lighthouse. Cruise out to the island by boat or take a short seaplane flight and spot Little Penguins, dolphins, and whales around the jetty. Glampers can even stay overnight in the old lighthouse keepers’ cottage.
Coopracambra National Park
If you’re looking to escape the crowds, Coopracambra National Park is the place. This is one of Victoria’s most remote and rugged conservation areas, where you can hike along wilderness trails or explore off-road in a 4WD. Bush camping is permitted within the park, but there are no facilities, so you’ll need to bring everything you need with you.
When to go
Blessed with cool summer breezes and the warmest winter temperatures in all of Victoria, Mallacoota is a year-round destination for outdoor adventurers. Summer is the best time to hit the beach, and the small town fills up with vacationers over the Christmas and Easter holidays. To avoid the crowds, come in late spring or early autumn instead, when it’s still warm enough to swim.
