Pickerings Flat Campground and DVA

Pickerings Flat is a free campground situated on the banks of the Howqua River in the Howqua Hills Historic Area of Victoria.

It is one of nine riverside flats available for camping in the area, offering a large, grassed site with some shady areas, well suited to large groups. The surrounding region is popular for bush walking, four-wheel driving, fishing, and exploring the river.

Campers should bring their own drinking water, toilet paper, and firewood, and pack out all rubbish. Drop toilets are available in the broader Howqua Hills camping area.

There is no mobile phone access, and nights can be cool to cold given the inland elevation of around 446 metres. Dogs are permitted on a leash.
