About Kimbolton camping and picnic area

Come for a picnic or camp overnight at this secluded campground nestled among towering box-ironbark trees. There’s plenty to appeal to nature lovers and history buffs alike. Kimbolton State Forest was a key mining and timber resource for early Victorian settlers. Wander through the bush to see what gold mining evidence you can spot.

Kimbolton Forest has a stunning array of native flora and fauna. The large old trees attract many birds, like the swift parrot, regent honeyeater, grey-crowned babler and brush-tailed phascogale.

It’s a well set-up recreation area with good facilities and a gravelled parking area. The picnic area has been specifically designed for relaxing day trips and picnics by the shores of Lake Eppalock, with an undercover area, 2 BBQs and several picnic benches.

The lake is also a popular spot for water sports like fishing, kayaking, swimming and walking so you'll never be short on things to do!
