Mittagong Campsite

Highlight • Camping

Mittagong Campsite, also labelled as Girl Guides Victoria, has a history rooted in community service and outdoor education. It has been used for guiding activities, leadership training, and outdoor adventures for Victoria's young. There are also old military relics on display. This is also the start of the Hovells Creek Trail, with a small dirt lot perfect to start on the northern end of this long, paved pathway.
