About this campsite

Hard Hill Camping Reserve offers a unique stay in Wedderburn, Victoria, located on an old gold mine site. The camping area is spacious and features several facilities such as toilets, BBQs, picnic tables, and a hot shower option. For nature enthusiasts, the surrounding box-ironbark forest hosts a wealth of wildlife including various bird species, Eastern and Western Grey Kangaroos, and the rare Yellow Footed Antechinus. Lizard sightings are also common with the presence of the Thick-tailed Gecko and the Lace Monitor. Visit Hard Hill Camping Reserve for an immersive camping experience in Australia's Golden Triangle.

There are some power outlets attached to the toilet block and a donation is requested for the use of these. Payment for hot showers and power can be made at the information centre in town. Wedderburn is located in typical box-ironbark country in the Golden Triangle of Victoria. While much of the country in this area was cleared for agriculture, there are significant large parcels of natural forest around Wedderburn, encouraging birds and wildlife, making the town a birdwatchers' paradise. Wedderburn is also one of the few places where both Eastern and Western Grey Kangaroos can be seen in the same locality. You may even get a glimpse of the rare Yellow Footed Antechinus, a tree-dwelling carnivorous marsupial. Not to be outdone, the lizards are also well represented here, with the Thick-tailed Gecko and the Lace Monitor can be seen.
