Old Coach Camping Area is one of several riverside camping spots located within Big River State Forest, approximately 180 km north-east of Melbourne and south-east of Eildon in Victoria.

The site sits along the heritage-classified Big River, which forms the scenic centrepiece of a forested valley managed primarily for recreation and water supply.

The surrounding state forest offers a range of activities including bushwalking, fishing, mountain biking, trail bike riding, and recreational driving.

Like other Lower Big River camping areas scattered along Eildon-Jamieson Road and Big River Road, Old Coach is a basic, natural setting situated right beside the river. Facilities are minimal, and the site may not be suitable for caravans.
