Huon Campground

Cradle Country & The West


Hidden in tall rainforest near Scotts Peak Dam – with the mossiest toilet entrance you'll ever see – this free campground in a bend of the Huon River has shelters, tank water, toilets and fireplaces stocked with firewood. Caravan access is possible, but it's 36km along an unsealed road.

The Port Davey Track begins here.
