Went alone with my dog. The 4WDing was a lot of fun. Was a beautiful evening under the full moon. Only issue was there was very little fire wood. A great spot that’s not far out from Melbourne.

It's ok for a getaway. Long drop toilets, fairly clean. No water accessible, dried out. Good for hiking. Horse flies everywhere!!! No phone reception at all.

Question:

it’s only 4wd access?

Answer:

No by Blue Staffy Camper

Answer:

If your coming from the Western Fwy & using Google Maps it’ll try to take you up Diggers Track. Ignore that, continue on O’Brien’s Rd until you get to the next turn off which is Upper Chadwick Track. That’ll take you to the campground and can be easily done in a 2WD. by Matt F.
