Great place to explore and get a good workout at the same time. Bike riders are a bit crazy, they didn't have much respect for nature or the people who were walking along the tracks.

Struggled to get a big van in there, so be careful. Toilets are a hike from camp area. Otherwise nice little camp ground.

Great Free camp not many spots.Busy with day MTB people and on weekends.Nice fireplaces to cook on.Interesting history Back in 1900, the Lands Department cleared 20 acres at Picnic Gully and planted a variety of oaks, mostly Valonia Oaks. The venture was aimed at providing acorns in large quantities for the local tanning industry. Although the Valonia Oaks are mostly gone, some of the other oaks became well established, thriving to this day.

Very lush and verdant. There was little fungi action due to the lack of rain the past few days. But what was there was lovely to take photos of. Becareful not to eat the red mushrooms.

Great park if you're into camping and hiking, big trials for bikers. The oak trees are beautiful particularly in autumn

The oak forest used to be the best spot just out of bendigo for a nice quiet weekend camping and exploring.Now all the best spots have been closed off to vehicles, and all redeveloped for mountain biking without warning.What a waste!

Beautiful and serene place, best experienced in late Spring or Summer when the Oak leaves are at their largest (unlike us when we visited in early Spring). On the downside, the dirt road is woefully bad and full of potholes so drive slowly and carefully. Toilet facilities are also not worth mentioning as they are 3rd rate at best. Probably better to avoid using them at all....no toilet paper or sanitary hand wash anyway. But, the site is a wonderful place, worth every minute to experience.

What an amazingly beautiful place this is. A peaceful and pretty place, we spent a few hours foraging for mushrooms and other fungi to photograph. It was a very fruitful afternoon.
