Caravans and campervans
A large open camping area surrounded by native forest, and next to the Buckland River. This site is suitable for camper trailers and small high clearance caravans.
Getting there
From Porepunkah, head south at the large round-about onto the Buckland Valley Road for approximately 30 km, where the camping area is located on the left. The Buckland Valley Road is sealed for the first 13km to Buckland Bridge and then unsealed for the remainder. The unsealed section is suitable for two wheel drive access throughout the year, however access to the site may be slippery in wet weather and require a high clearance vehicle.
