Campfires may be restricted or banned depending on the fire danger rating. Always check before you light up — and never on a total fire ban day, when no fires of any kind are permitted.

Camping tips
Book ahead in peak season
Popular campgrounds fill up quickly during summer holidays, Easter, and long weekends. Book national park sites through Parks Victoria.
Bring your own firewood
Collecting firewood in national parks is prohibited. Bring your own or buy from local suppliers before you arrive.
Leave no trace
Take all rubbish with you, stay on designated sites, and leave the campground as you found it for others to enjoy.
Be wildlife aware
Store food securely to avoid attracting wildlife. Snakes are present in warmer months — be cautious around logs and long grass.
