Southside - 4 Nights Stay

Set along the banks of Stringer’s Creek in Rawson, Victoria, the Southside - 4 Nights Stay offers a grounded, authentic taste of outdoor living managed by the Walhalla Board Of Management. This tucked-away camping ground stands out for its accessible yet rugged charm, perfectly suited to travelers who want to unplug without sacrificing essential comforts. Rawson is part of the Gippsland region, framed by rolling hills and dense eucalypt forests, providing an excellent base for nature-focused pursuits.

The camping area itself divides into two unpowered sections, with the South Side accepting 2WD vehicles, camper trailers, small camper vans, and tents, though you can expect gentle slopes and uneven terrain—ideal for those who appreciate a back-to-nature setup without deep off-roading demands. What makes this stay unique is its blend of basic amenities and natural authenticity. The amenities block includes five private suites each featuring toilets and showers, including an accessible option—a thoughtful touch for inclusive outdoor experiences.

A laundry with coin-operated washer and dryer, and free electric BBQs near the amenity shelter simplify longer stays, letting guests settle in without hauling heavy gear. Water is supplied from tanks and recommended for boiling, so bring your own water bottle and purification supplies. Domestic pets are welcome but must be controlled, and fire regulations are strict—fires only in above-ground pits or chuffers, never directly on the ground, and never on days of Total Fire Ban.

The Walhalla Board Of Management's stewardship of this site highlights their commitment to conservation and community access. The proximity to Walhalla village, with its historical gold mining heritage, combined with the natural setting, makes this camp a solid anchor point for hiking, fishing, and forest wandering. Mobile coverage via Telstra means you can stay connected if needed, yet the environment encourages a deliberate break from screens.

Southside - 4 Nights Stay is tailored for adventurers seeking easy access to Gippsland’s lush landscape with a practical, down-to-earth camping experience that respects the region’s environment and history.
