Camping and picnicking is a great way to relax and enjoy the Box Ironbark surroundings. Most of the camping spots are informal bush camps suitable for the self sufficent camper. Remember to look after the forest by taking your rubbish home with you. Dogs are permitted. Make sure your dog is under control at all times. Campfires are part of the outdoor experience. However sparks can easily start the bush burning. You can take care with fire by observing all fire regulations and Total Fire Ban days, always use existing fireplaces where possible or 30 cm deep trenches, collect only dead wood from the ground for campfires, ensure your fire is less than 1 metre square and at least 3 metres clear of burnable material, never leave fires unattended, and ensure fires are safe and that they are completely extinguished when you leave.
