Trawool Reservoir Camp

4.2 combined rating61 Google

On of the most hidden away, serene and beautiful camping areas. You will need fourwheel drive to access the camping ground but it is worth the drive. Set next to the Trawool Reservoir, this area has separate camping sites and a picnic area with shelter. Trawool Reservoir was built in the 1890s to supply water to Seymour and the nearby railway. The 350 foot long, 23 foot high granite ashlar masonry weir is no longer used as a water supply. It holds water year round and remains an attractive feature in the forest. The camping/picnic area is now one of the areas most secluded spots and it is suggested that a four wheel drive vehicle for access is preferred. Spending the day, 4 wheel driving around the Tallarook State Forest, Trawool Reservoir is located at the most northern end. Here there are picnic facilities where you can enjoy the day, paddling in the nearby water.

Official details

Full official description
On of the most hidden away, serene and beautiful camping areas. You will need fourwheel drive to access the camping ground but it is worth the drive. Set next to the Trawool Reservoir, this area has separate camping sites and a picnic area with shelter. The Tallarook State Forest is located north of Melbourne between the township of Broadford and Seymour. Access is via Ennis Road off the Hume Highway. Ennis road turns into Main road. The easiest way to the Reservoir is turning left into West Falls road, then right into Falls Creek road, then left at Reservoir track. But for four wheel drives that want a challenge they can continue down West Falls road over the large inclines. The roads into this camping area are seasonally closed to protect water quality so access will be restricted over winter.
