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 and provide a better visitor experience for campers, hikers and paddlers to experience this special place.
As part of Stage One, roads and walking paths within the campground were constructed and upgraded to improve vehicle access around the campsite, define camping areas and day visitor areas better and improve pedestrian access around the campsite and to the Mitchell River.
Stage Two upgrades will provide an even better camping experience and protect the environment. Upgrades will include new toilets, a shelter, interpretive signs, fencing and revegetation.
