Florence Falls 4WD Campground

The pull is simple: a walking track leads from the campground to Florence Falls, the two-tier drop that lands in a dark plunge pool below the gorge. Camping here means you can be at the water without a long drive in, and the falls flow year round, so the swim is not a one-season prospect. A walking track leads from the campground to the falls, so you do not need to move the vehicle once you are set up.

It is a Category A campground, and designated sites must be booked and paid for online before you arrive. Sort that out ahead of time rather than turning up hoping for a spot.

• Toilets and showers are close by.
• Water available on site is non-drinking water, so bring all your own drinking water.
• Come self-sufficient with food, cooking gear, lighting and a way to keep things cool.

Beyond the track down to the falls, the Florence Creek Walk and Shady Creek Walk start in the same area, and the Florence Falls viewpoint gives you the wide look at both tiers. Between the plunge pool and the creek walks, you can fill a day without moving the vehicle.

The 4WD requirement rules out a lot of vehicles, and the camping is basic, so you carry your own drinking water and manage your own supplies. If you want easy access on sealed roads, the nearby 2WD campground is the more sensible base.
