Parks Victoria is taking bookings for some of the State’s favourite camping destinations over the peak summer season.

Minister for the Environment and Climate Change, Lily D’Ambrosio said Parks Victoria was taking bookings for Mount Buffalo National Park, Corringle Foreshore Reserve, Croajingolong National Park and several other holiday favourites.

“The pandemic has given us a renewed appreciation for the great outdoors and with restrictions easing it’s great Victorians will be able to get back into nature and enjoy upgraded and new camping facilities across the State,” Ms D’Ambrosio said.

“Camping is a wonderful affordable holiday and our campground upgrades will make the experience even more enjoyable for Victorian families,” she said.

Ms D’Ambrosio said campground upgrades would help bring visitors and tourists back to regional Victorian communities.

“Campers can traverse a new suspension bridge into the Neds Gully campground in the Cathedral Ranges or view the night sky at Big Billy Bore campground on a new stargazing platform in Big Desert State Forest,” the Minister said.

“In addition to four revitalised campgrounds in the Otways, some fire-affected camping favourites in Victoria’s south-east including Cape Conran and two sites in the Thowgla Valley are again welcoming campers,” she said.

Ms D’Ambrosio said further upgrades were planned for Tidal River campsite at Wilsons Promontory, as well as sites in Lower Glenelg, Bunyip State Park, Lake Elizabeth, Peachtree Creek and several other High-Country campsites.
