Surry Ridge Campground – Cobboboonee National Park (FC)

This is one of several campgrounds in the Cobboboonee National Park. Jackass Fern Gully Campground, Wrights Campground and Surry Ridge Campground are the main picnic and campgrounds. These campsites and their surrounds are flat and provide reasonable access for people with disabilities. There are quite a few bush wallabies and emus in the area.

Cobboboonee National Park and the adjoining forest park showcase lowland forest and heathland on the doorstep of Portland and Heywood in far southwest Victoria.

SITE ACCESS
Cobboboonee National Park can be reached via the Princes Highway from Portland, Heywood or Dartmoor.
The entrance is actually on Cut Out Dam road about 200 metres from the intersection with Fish Hole Road. The sign at the entrance faces south and is invisible when approaching from the intersection owing to bush growth, so is easy to miss.

Please note: GPS Co-Ordinates are approximate and provided in most cases to get you to the National Park entrance or as close to the camp site as possible. Once inside the park there should be signs to the actual camp grounds. Failing this please check with National Parks for further directions.
