Thread: Camping Fees in Victoria

Well they can look forward to a lot of empty parks ..... The idea of goverment parks is they should be small fee/voluntary donation .... The idea is to bring tourists to the area, not make money.

From what I can see they will now want $60 a night for the "free" camp sites down at the grampians ... no power, most pit toilets etc...

this is a joke right ?? Evenyone will camp just outside the camping areas for free rather than pay that.

It's getting to the point where a family simply can't afford to go away. Eg: christmas break in school holidays .... 2 kids and one baby, we are looking at close to $100 a night for a square of dead grass/dust to set our tent up on. It's insanely expensive. Now even the unserviced "cheap" option doesn't appear to exist (not that my wife would do pit toilets etc).
