I will be camping at Slaty Creek Campground #1 over the weekend of February 16-18 and would like to invite all who would like to join me to come along. I hope to get in some general relaxation. While there, I intend to hold a social event on the evening of Friday 16 February for those who would like to come along.
Where: Slaty Creek Campground #1
When: Friday 16th February 2024
Start: 6:00pm
End: 7:00pm (or later)
I will arrive on Friday 16th February and stay till Sunday.
This area is suitable for tents right through to your on-road caravan and motor homes.
Slaty Creek Campground Number 1 is the first of three campsites along Slaty Creek within the Creswick Regional Park.
This area is fantastic for bushwalking, geocaching, birdwatching and gold prospecting.
Take a stroll through the beautiful forest or bring along a gold pan and try your luck panning in the creek.
Camping areas here are located on both sides of Petticoat Link Track, with Slaty Creek running alongside.
No booking is required, camping is free.
A picnic area lies alongside the campsites and features the gazebo, toilet block (non-flushing), and multiple wood fire barbecues (except on days of total fire bans) and picnic tables.
Camping is not permitted within the picnic area, which is bordered by wooden posts.
GOLD PROSPECTING AT SLATY CREEK CAMPGROUND NO 1
Slaty Creek in Creswick is a popular destination for gold prospectors due to the three free campgrounds along the creek and the extensive surrounding forest for gold detecting.
Slaty Creek is a great place to bring the family on a casual trip for easy access to a gold panning creek from the campsite.
Prospectors may prefer to find a spot on the creek further from the campground, as the area around camp is very regularly worked for gold.
Hope to see you all there.................................
