Wild Dog Creek Falls Camping Area – Mount Samaria State Park (FC)

This is one of four camping areas in the Mount Samaria State Park. Wild Dog Creek Falls Camping Area is an 800m walk from the nearest road in the middle of Mount Samaria State Park. A small carpark is available for use near the entrance to the walking track. All camping equipment must be carried in and out of the site.

Set in tall, shady eucalyptus forest, Mount Samaria State Park offers a cool, quiet retreat for walking, camping and picnicking. Experience a variety of breathtaking views over the Victorian Alps, granite outcrops, and historic remains.

SITE ACCESS
Mount Samaria State Park is 130 km north-east of Melbourne, 28 km south of Benalla on the Samaria Road via Swanpool, and 14km north of Mansfield via the Whitfield Road. A gravel road traverses the range from north to south and, although steep and rocky in places, is open all year to most vehicles, however, road conditions can vary so a 4WD is recommended to travel through the park.

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.
