Stevensons Falls Campground

Stevensons Falls Campground is a 44-site, unpowered campground beside the Gellibrand River, set among Californian redwoods. It suits tent campers looking for a basic forest stay with the waterfall walk close by; this is a bush camp, not a serviced holiday park.

There are no bookings, and the campground can fill toward weekends. Arrive early or aim for midweek if you want a choice of sites. The approach is suitable for 2WD vehicles, but caravans and camper trailers aren't suitable here; the managing agency directs those drivers to Dandos Campground.

The campground has four accessible toilets, picnic tables, marked fire pits and wood-fired barbecues. Bring drinking water because a supply isn't listed, and bring firewood rather than counting on it being available. Plan to cook for yourself; no food outlet is listed at the campground.

The campground and waterfall are separate features, with the falls a short walk away. The route from the day visitor area follows the Gellibrand River through redwoods, crosses the river and reaches a viewing platform at the base. A higher platform gives another view but has steps.

The Californian redwoods are a remnant of a trial plantation established in the 1980s. Nearby tracks also pass Douglas firs and blue spruces, giving the campground a mix of introduced conifers around its river setting.
