7 Mile Flat

7 Mile Flat Camping Area sits on Taungurung Country within Alpine National Park, nestled on one of the river flats along the scenic Howqua River in Victoria's High Country.

It is a free, no-booking-required campsite roughly an hour's drive from Mansfield via Merrijig, accessed by taking the Howqua Track off Mount Buller Road and continuing along Brocks Road.

The approach can be rocky and slippery in places, so a capable vehicle is advisable. The area suits families and adventure seekers alike, with opportunities for bushwalking, four-wheel driving, and horse riding. Horse campers must book in advance.

The Howqua River offers good swimming holes and fishing, and the surrounding Victorian High Country provides striking scenery. Note that dogs are not permitted within Alpine National Park.
