The project
This project is being delivered on Gunaikurnai country.
Angusvale Campground within the Mitchell River National Park in Gippsland is being upgraded to improve access for campers, hikers and paddlers to experience this special place.
In Stage One, roads and walking paths within the campground were constructed and upgraded to improve vehicle access around the campsite, better define camping areas and day visitor areas better and improve pedestrian access around campsites and to the Mitchell River.
Stage Two upgrades will provide an even better camping experience and protect the environment with new toilets, a shelter, interpretive signs, fencing and revegetation.

Project benefits
Visitors and environment
The upgrades will make it safer and easier for a wide range of people to enjoy the campground.
Environment
Improved roads and walking tracks will help ensure vehicles and people stay on the roads and tracks to protect surrounding vegetation.
Project funding
Stage One of upgrades were funded by the Department of Jobs, Skills, Industry and Regions as part of a $2.0 million program for upgrades to Far East Gippsland campgrounds. A further $1.2 million funding from Victoria's Great Outdoors will fund the Stage Two upgrades.
Environment and cultural heritage management
The Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action (previously Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning) has granted key environmental permits and approvals.
GunaiKurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC) has assessed the cultural heritage on site and when delivering the work will protect all cultural heritage items.
Putting safety first
Visitor safety is our number one priority when considering risk in parks.
While nature will always be unpredictable, our projects and maintenance works minimise risks to help people explore the great outdoors safely.
Parks Victoria is responsible for managing and maintaining over 50,000 items of infrastructure across the state annually. We’re also delivering new projects to help visitors get into nature. These are thoroughly planned and prepared to keep people and projects separate – and safe. When visiting a park where projects are happening, especially during construction, it’s important that people follow the direction of signs, Parks Victoria staff and work crews, and stay out of fenced and restricted areas.
Who are we working with?
GunaiKurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC) is delivering these upgrades.
For more information on Joint Management, please visit the Gunaikurnai Traditional Owner Land Management Board and the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation.

The camping area is open. Please check the Mitchell River National Park page for any changes to access.
