Gday gday,
Has anyone got any recommendations for
cave camping locations in Victoria? Only moved to vic last year and haven’t been able to get out much obviously due to covid. So looking to get out and find some caves to sleep in overnight.
Cheers, appreciate it

Buchan Caves, there's a
camp ground there but about $27 per night.

Parks Vic site says
Buchan caves are closed at the moment due to access
bridge damage. No time for access date.

Stayed there a number of times when a kid with my parents and the whole area was for camping (magnificent - 60 odd years ago). Visited there last year while returning from Jacksons Crossing on the
Snowy River and could not believe how it has changed. It is basically a
day use area now with a little bit of camping in one corner. Tents and caravans with maybe a one metre gap between them. Would definitely look somewhere else.

If you fancy a short trip into SA the Narracoorte caves are too bad either. Across the border from Edenhope!

Sorry mate, I misread your post. To be honest I don't think you'll find a
cave that you're allowed to
camp in!

You need some less publicly known or commercial caves that are maybe less penetrating.
There are caves in the cliffs of the
Glenelg River.

Bang on mate. Sorry I probably should’ve been more specific. I’m more Looking for
rock shelters rather than deep caves. Cheers!

Hi Harry,
The Victoria range in Gariwerd National Park has some excellent caves to
camp in. The Fortress currently has two formal campsites with caves.
The rockclimbing hot spots generally have good caves to
camp in. Some of the better and more remote ones unfortuately are too fouled by goats to be habitable.
Get in soon, as the Draft Management Plan proposes to ban this sort of camping.
Welcome to Victoria!
