Firth Park Campground (Fingerpost Regional Park , WOMBAT STATE FOREST)

Surrounded by heritage ornamental trees on the northern slopes of the Great Dividing Range in Fingerpost Regional Park, Firth Park Campground is a peaceful forest campground with a rich history and easy access to outdoor recreation. The shady setting, established by Joseph Firth in the late 1800s, provides a relaxing place to camp, picnic and explore the surrounding forest.

Firth Park is popular with campers, horse riders, walkers and four-wheel drive enthusiasts. The campground provides access to a network of horse riding trails through the surrounding forest and is a convenient starting point for Anderson Mill Walk, which leads to the site of a former sawmill. Visitors can also discover the area's forestry and eucalyptus oil production history while enjoying the unique collection of exotic trees that remain from the original settlement.

Facilities include toilets, picnic tables, a picnic shelter, fireplaces and wood-fired barbecues. The campground is unpowered and suitable for tents, with limited space available for small caravans. Horse yards are provided for visitors exploring the area on horseback. Dogs on lead are permitted during the day between sunrise and sunset. No bookings or fees apply, and the site is accessible by 2WD vehicles. There are no rubbish bins, so please take all rubbish home. Campfires are permitted in the fireplaces provided if it is not a Total Fire Ban day. The adjacent dam, fed by a tributary of the Campaspe River, provides a scenic focal point within the campground.
