Grampians National Park Camping Guide: Complete Victoria Guide
The Grampians is Victoria's most popular national park and one of the best camping destinations in Australia. The complete guide to camping, hiking and highlights.
The Grampians (Gariwerd) in western Victoria is one of the most spectacular and accessible national parks in Australia — dramatic sandstone ranges, exceptional wildlife, and some of the best camping in Victoria.
Best Camping Areas
Brambuk Campground near Halls Gap provides powered and unpowered sites with full facilities — the most popular option for families. Borough Huts in the central Grampians provides a more remote experience with excellent trail access. Smiths Mill in the north sits surrounded by mountain ash forest with a completely different character.
Must-Do Walks
The Pinnacle Walk from Wonderland carpark is the most popular hike in Victoria — spectacular 360-degree views from the sandstone summit. Allow 2-3 hours return. MacKenzie Falls is a short walk to the largest waterfall in Victoria. Mount William rewards the climb with views across western Victoria.
Wildlife
Eastern grey kangaroos and wallabies are everywhere and accustomed to people. Emus are regularly seen along main roads. Koalas are present in the manna gum forests. Wedge-tailed eagles soar over the peaks. Do not feed any wildlife — it leads to animals being removed by rangers.
