Stanley Homestead is a Parks Victoria campground in Victoria’s High Country, 13 km S of Molesworth.
Located not far from Yea, Stanley Homestead is popular with those that like to indulge in trailbike and four wheel driving activities. The network of forest roads in the surrounding Black Range State forest provide various challenges for those wanting adventure. Stanley Homestead is the only official campsite in the Black Range. As the name suggests it was the site of an old homestead which results in large European trees scattered through the grassy site. A small dam is located to the back of the camping area. This site is popular with trailbike riders as they enjoy the network of forest roads in this State forest.
