The Werribee River Camping Ground is a massive clearing surrounded by forest along the scenic Werribee River. Located about 20 minutes from Daylesford, this is a great spot for camping, four wheel driving, motorbike riding and bushwalking.
The campground is only basic and provides picnic tables and basic fire pits, but there is plenty of space for tents and caravans.
Carrols Mineral Spring
Carrols Spring can be found at the corner of the large clearing, where a picnic table and mineral spring sit in a gravel area partly bordered by stone.
There are fantastic views from this picnic table across the grassy field to the bushland beyond. Carrol's Spring is a beautiful place to bring a picnic lunch and sample the mineral spring water.

How to get to the Werribee River Camping Ground
Access the campground via Carrolls Track on the McGee Road side, as these are well formed gravel roads.
The bush tracks leading directly to the campground from the Ballan-Daylesford Road are very uneven with extremely deep ruts and involve a river crossing - these tracks are great for four wheel driving and motorbike riding while staying at the campground.
All drivers must be licensed and all vehicles must be registered and roadworthy. Keep to formed tracks only, do not drive or ride vehicles off road through the bush.
