Battersbys Camp
Overview
Battersbys Camp is a peaceful riverside spot tucked away on the banks of the Glenelg River in south-west Victoria. With just two unpowered campsites, it's the kind of place where you can truly switch off and soak up the sounds of the bush. Kangaroos often wander through, and native birds are never far away, making it a favourite for those who appreciate a quiet, natural setting.
The campground is simple but practical, welcoming camper trailers, caravans, campervans and tents. Whether you're keen to cast a line from the jetty, paddle along the river in a canoe, or just enjoy a picnic by the water, Battersbys Camp offers a relaxed base to explore the Lower Glenelg National Park. Each site fits up to six people, and you'll find basic amenities to make your stay comfortable.
