About

Set up camp and throw a line in either the Taponga or Big Rivers to try your luck with the native trout. Jim Bullock is tucked away in the tee tree and provides serene camping with toilet facilities.

Camping

Set on the Taponga River at the junction of the Big River, Jim Bullock campsites are scattered under the tee tree. There is opportunities to fish or swim in the river as the water is cool and quite deep in places.

Caravans and campervans

Small caravans and camper trailers are welcome at this site.

Getting there

From Melbourne take the Maroondah Hwy, turn right to Thornton and turn onto the Goulburn Valley Highway, then right onto Eildon-Jamieson road. Follow this bitumen road and just over the Taponga bridge on your right is the Jimmy Bullocks campsite.
