Big River Bridge (Mt Wills Historic Area) Campground
Last Updated Dec 2013 | Originally suggested by Peter
A small, pleasant, level camp ground by the rushing Big River, well shaded by large, tall Snow Gums over short grass.
Situated in a broadening of the narrow Big River valley, surrounded by steep forest mountains and partially cleared hills. A bit close to the Omeo Hwy.
Rated 3.6/5
Vic Roads patrol camp upstream.
Big River, with its headwaters on the southern slopes of Mt Bogong, becomes the Mitta Mitta at the bridge.
There are a couple of informal, secluded riverside sites downstream of the bridge, probably requiring 4 wheel drive across the bush covered flats.
