Ferntree Camping Ground
Overview
Ferntree Camping Ground is tucked away in a quiet corner of Mount Buangor State Park, offering a back-to-basics bush camping experience surrounded by tall eucalypts and lush ferns. With only five campsites, it's a peaceful spot that feels a world away from busy caravan parks - perfect for those who appreciate a bit of solitude and the sounds of the forest.
Each site comes with its own fireplace and picnic table, and you'll find non-flush toilets just next door in the day visitor area. Most sites are set up for tents, though one can accommodate a small single axle camper trailer. Whether you're here to spot wildlife, stretch your legs on the nearby walking tracks, or simply unwind by the fire, Ferntree makes it easy to slow down and soak in the bush atmosphere.

Campers love Ferntree Camping Ground for its peaceful, private sites and beautiful bush setting. Reviews highlight the secluded, well spaced camp sites with their own fireplaces or fire pits and picnic tables, clean drop toilets including accessible facilities, and easy car access. There is a separate picnic area, a nearby creek, plenty of wildlife like birds and wallabies, and it is easy to get to. Many also appreciated the simple comforts such as a non?drinking water tap.
The walking is a real drawcard. Ferntree Falls is a short, easy walk from the car park, with lovely viewpoints and a circuit that lets you get close to the falls. Some visitors also enjoyed the extra walk to Cascade Falls for more ferny views, and there are other tracks for keener hikers like the Sugarloaf Saddle circuit. All up, a quiet, picturesque spot for camping, walks and a relaxed picnic.
