Forest Camp South
Overview
Forest Camp South is tucked away in Victoria's tall forests, offering a genuine bush camping experience for those keen to immerse themselves in nature. Surrounded by towering Mountain Ash and lush ferns, it's a spot where you can wake to birdsong and the scent of eucalyptus, far from the rush of city life.
The campground is simple and unspoilt, making it a favourite for hikers, families, and anyone looking to disconnect and explore the forest on foot. It's the kind of place where evenings are spent around a campfire and days are filled with walks beneath ancient trees.

Campers love Forest Camp South for its quiet, pristine setting on the Glenelg River and serene bush vibe. Reviews highlight the small, well?kept campground with only four sites, noting that three are together while site 4 is more private. Several visitors recommend site 3 as the pick for caravan or car camping. Words like beautiful, picturesque and very clean come up often.
Wildlife sightings are a highlight, with wallabies, koalas and possums regularly mentioned. Handy facilities include very clean drop toilets with running water for washing up and fire pits for campfires. The small jetty is praised for river views and for launching a small boat, canoe or kayak, making it a great spot for a relaxed family or group getaway close to nature.
