Rocky Crossing is a picturesque spot on the Campaspe River, where the water rushes through a shallow, rocky section creating swirling rapids and a few seasonal rockpools.
Located just 27 minutes from Bendigo, this is a great local spot for a splash during summer!
A day visit parking area sits to the left of Rocky Crossing Road, and to the right is a free camping area which stretches along the bank of the river offering beautiful views over the water.
No facilities are available here, campers must be self sufficient.
Swimming at Rocky Crossing
Rocky Crossing is shallow during summer and great for children to splash around among the rocks.
Please note that the water in this section is fast moving and the rocky river bed makes it easy to loose footing and slip over.
Supervise small children very closely.
Over by the camping area the water is deeper and is accessed by a very steep bank - the camping area is a great spot for kayaks and capable swimmers.
THE CAMPASPE RIVER
The gorgeous Campaspe River runs from the Great Dividing Range in the south to the Murray River in the north, travelling for approximately 150 kilometres.
There are many fantastic spots along the Campaspe River for visitors to enjoy, including here at Rocky Crossing!
