Troopers Creek Campground
Recently renovated, Troopers Creek offers tent and vehicle based camping, including sites for large hiking groups — it's the perfect base to explore the Mount Difficult escarpment and the Northern Grampians more broadly.
Spectacular in the late afternoon, the setting sun lights up the opposing rock wall above the campground making for an incredible photo opportunity. Well established gum trees shade the site and a variety of woodland birds frequent the site.
The campground features shared fireplaces with BBQ hotplates and picnic tables throughout. Make sure you bring your own firewood as firewood collection is prohibited in the national park. There are pit toilet facilities and there are two large group camping areas suitable for up to 16 people. All sites must be booked online in advance.
Troopers creek is just down the road from the Beehive Falls trailhead where trails to Briggs Bluff, Gar / Mount Difficult and Beehive Falls are all accessible, and is also next to the trailhead for section two of the Grampians Peaks Trail.
