With great facilities in a delightful bush setting close to Melbourne, The Gums campground is a popular base for relaxing and exploring the northern section of Kinglake National Park.

The campground has been upgraded to make it even more enjoyable. The upgrades included: 

  • Re-arrangement of camp sites
  • New vegetation to delineate campsites from each other
  • Resurfacing the access road
  • New firepits
  • Replacement of damaged boardwalks in Blackfish Way.
