Victoria isn’t short on stunning places to set up camp. From quaint, magical spots by the river to incredible campgrounds on the edge of world-class surfing beaches, there’s a pretty good selection to choose from when you’re ready for a weekend in the elements – and now, a new bombshell has just entered the villa.
Cape Conran’s Banksia Bluff campground – a beloved camping spot on the Gippsland coast, with arguably the cutest name in campsite history – is getting a major upgrade. The Victorian government has confirmed that construction will start soon on a new multi-use recreation area (due to host school visits and campers) thanks to a huge $29 million investment.
The upgrade will also include the construction of ten new cabins (so you can camp in comfort all year round), plus upgraded boardwalks, bridges and barbecues, plus a boat ramp for fishers and divers.
Already got a trip booked? Don’t worry – the site will stay open to campers while work is underway. Once construction is complete, the capacity will be expanded, and campers are encouraged to take advantage of half-price camping fees.
Keen? You can book your camping trip via the Parks Victoria website.
