McLaren Falls Park offers hostel accommodation and a range of camping options for tents, caravans and campervans.
McLaren Falls Park is now cashless, and any campsites must be booked and paid for in advance online using the link below. Please note, booking in advance online does not reserve you a specific campsite. Locations for camping are available on a first come, first serve basis.
The maximum stay for camping is three nights. There are designated areas for camping, including Top Flat, Hamilton Point and Pin Oak Flat. Shower facilities are free for campers and available at Pin Oak Flat.
