About this campground
Surround yourself with narrow leaved peppermint, blue gum, manna gum and stringybark species whilst enjoying your stay here.
Camping
Camping at Running Creek is broken up into 3 sections separated by the Howqua River. The first section is accessible via two-wheel drive and doesn’t require a water crossing, the second campsite requires a river crossing and the third campsite requires 2 river crossings. If camping in the second and third sites, please be aware of rapid river levels rising after rain.
The first campsite is accessible for medium and large vans with large areas to back and turn around vans. The second and third campsites require a river crossing, and therefore, only experienced drivers with 4WD vehicles and appropriate camper trailers should camp in these spots. This is a large grassy campsite and can fit multiple large groups.
Fishing
The Howqua River is excellent for fishing, with the main species caught being the rainbow and brown trout. You could take a short stroll down the riverbank via the Howqua River walk and find yourself in a secluded fishing spot with the river all to yourself. Please be aware that you will need to hold a current Victorian Fishing license to fish in this area.
