Hello. We are looking to camp near Ferntree Falls in late April. I think the campground closest is tents only? is this correct? we have a small camper trailer and wonder if there is bush camping facilities close to Ferntree Falls. Thank you.
Hi Wayne,
I am going by all of the brochures and photos of the signage I took when I visited the Mount Buangor State Park, and it does mention that the Ferntree area is “Tents Only”.
Based on this, the closest location to Ferntree Falls is the “Bailes” area, which does have a toilet, fireplace and picnic tables, and is located only 700m south of the Ferntree Falls area.
Please refer to the gallery images on the page at https://www.grampianspoint.com.au/attractions/mountains/mount-buangor-state-park/ for additional maps and information on the state park.
Thanks
Michael
