Mackillops Campground

McKillops Bridge Campground sits on the banks of the Snowy River within Snowy River National Park in Victoria's East Gippsland region.

The campground is a popular base for exploring the area, with pit toilets, picnic tables, and fireplaces provided, though fuel stoves are preferred. Sites are well dispersed but relatively limited in flat ground.

The location is considered one of the best canoe-launching points in the park, giving experienced paddlers access to dramatic gorges, rapids, and sandbars downstream.

It also serves as the finishing point for the Deddick Trail, a 43-kilometre four-wheel drive track that cuts through the heart of the park, and provides access to several walking trails including the 18-kilometre Silver Mine Walking Track.

McKillops Road, which leads to the campground, is regarded as one of the most scenic drives in Australia.
