Cooks Mill Campground - Cathedral Range State Park

Cooks Mill Camping Area sits beside the Little River in Cathedral Range State Park, Victoria, on the site of a sawmill that operated in the 1940s and 50s.

Shaded by Peppermint, Blackwood, and Red Stringybark gums, the campground accommodates tents, campervans, and a limited number of caravans and camper trailers.

Facilities include pit toilets, picnic tables, shelters, and communal fireplaces; no cooking plates are provided, and firewood collection is prohibited, so campers must bring their own. Prebooking is required, though individual sites are selected on arrival.

The surrounding park offers a strong range of activities.

Gentle walks through Manna Gum forest along the Friends Nature Trail and Little River Walk offer good chances of spotting koalas, while fit hikers can tackle the harder routes to the North and South Jawbone peaks for panoramic views over the Cathedral Range.

Rock climbing is available at North Jawbone, South Jawbone, and Sugarloaf Peak, and fishing is popular along the river.
