Italian Flat Campground
Last Updated Dec 2014
Yet another great free campground along this stretch of the Dargo River.
Set amongst native treees, surrounded by low hills and right on the banks of the crystal clear Dargo River.
There are no defined sites here, however there is a good mix of shady, open and grassy campsites with the odd picnic table here and there as well.
The Dargo River is a great spot for a swim when the weather is warm, and not a bad spot to angle for a trout.
Thanks to Peter for the following updates.
Attractive, extended river flats by the bubbling Dargo River in a narrow valley. Well shaded by Gippsland Blue Gums, Peppermints and Walnuts over short green grass. Surrounded by very step, forested slopes. 4 tables & BBQs. Rated 3.9/5
