Amblers Crossing Campground – Lerderderg State Park (FC)

Amblers Crossing Campground offers a basic bush camping experience for those that are self-sufficient. It is located beside the river and recommended for Tents and off-road camper trailers or Camper vans.

Rising in the Great Dividing Range, the Lerderderg River has cut a 300 metre deep gorge through sandstone and slate, almost bisecting the park. The park has a wide variety of vegetation and wildlife and some interesting relics of goldmining.
