About The Gums Campground

With great facilities in a delightful bush setting close to Melbourne, The Gums camping area is a popular base for relaxing and exploring the northern section of Kinglake National Park. Nestled in a tranquil eucalypt forest next to a meandering mountain stream, The Gums Campground is ideal for families and small groups. A destination for both rookies and seasoned campers, the small and popular campground contains 18 campsites, with five suitable for camper vans and caravans. Each site is clearly defined and separated by native vegetation, featuring shared picnic tables and wood fireplaces. From the campground, the Cicada Circuit offers a short walk through the tall eucalypts and dense ferns, hugging the bends of Island Creek.
