Aire Crossing Campground
Aire Crossing Campground
Aire Crossing Campground sits within the dense rainforest of Great Otway National Park, roughly three hours west of Melbourne.
Towering mountain ash, blackwood trees, and ancient tree ferns surround the site, creating a tranquil atmosphere typical of the Otway ranges.
The campground lies about 50 metres from the Aire River, where a shaded riverbank, rock pools, and the sound of running water make for a peaceful retreat. The river also offers fishing opportunities, with Brown Trout present in its deeper pools.
Five non-bookable sites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Wildlife in the area includes koalas and a variety of bird species. A 4WD vehicle is recommended for access, and the nearby Halls Ridge Track is seasonally closed.
The site may also close during periods of extreme or catastrophic fire danger, and rapid weather changes can affect access.
