One of a number of free campgrounds along the Dargo River.

Jimmy Iverson's Campground is very large and has plenty of grassy sites, and shade. It is set along a sweeping bend of the Dargo River.

The Dargo River here is fairly shallow, although it is cool and clear and provides a beautiful spot for a dip in the warmer weather. There are also Brown Trout in this river, making this a great spot for land based or kayak fishing.

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 and Peppermints over short green grass. Surrounded by very step, forested slopes. 6 tables & BBQs. Access to the river constrained by fencing of regeneration areas. Rated 4.1/5
