Broughtons Waterhole Camping Area – Little Desert National Park (FC)

Broughton’s Waterhole is one of several camp sites located in the Little Desert National Park. It is a very basic site with little in the way of facilities. The site is accessible on by 4WD and situated amongst Yellowgum woodland on the McDonald Highway.

The best time to visit the park is between late winter and early summer when the temperatures are comfortable and the park is full of blossoms and wildflowers. Camp beside the Wimmera River, and enjoy bushwalks, birdwatching or four-wheel driving.
