Buchan Caves Camping
Immerse yourself in the peaceful landscape, relax to the sound of a babbling brook nearby and listen for lyrebirds mimicking the calls of their surrounds.
The campground offers 41 powered sites and 20 unpowered sites, each accommodating up to six people. Campground facilities include hot showers, toilets, a laundry, a camper’s kitchen and electric and wood fired barbecues. Advanced bookings and payment are required year-round.
If you're looking for a roof over your head, the historic Caves House offers a cosy and comfortable experience.
Take a tour of the caves system or explore the walking trails throughout the reserve. The nearby Buchan Township offers a pub and cafes to grab a bite to eat, however there are limited options to purchase any food and supplies - the closest supermarkets are in Lakes Entrance or Bairnsdale.
