Water Gauge Camp is one of the popular camping areas within the Murrindindi Scenic Reserve. All sites in the Reserve require a permit - motorcycle $3, car $7, small bus $20, large bus $35 per night. All funds collected go directly back into the upkeep of the Reserve. Please note no dogs are allowed. Water Gauge Camp provides individual sites nestled in the gully alongside the Murrindindi River.
