Jason Kelton2025-04-20 Well when I review rooms, I'm reviewing the view, since we built the rooms ourselves so to speak! Location is amazing and had the added pleasure of watching RAAF trainers run the terrain straight over the park, so location should have got 6 stars. Hospitality was excellent... Strict rules, but definitely valid as we could see it being easy to bend the rules here when you're all camped in and relaxed. Anytime we asked for anything, it was delivered in minutes... Ice, firewood, ice.. oh and did I mention kindling? ;) haha. Listen this was our first ever camping trip and with a couple of other families to help us out, but the hospitality here was second to none. I really don't want to leave a great review because I want to keep the secret to ourselves but that would be an injustice to how great Montana is. Thanks all for such an amazing and memorable experience. ;) Dilan Shaba2025-02-25 Great management ( Dave & Fiona ) Very kind & helpful people .. Beautiful place to visit with family and friends ..

Everything is immaculate. The dog park is amazing for the fur kids to have a run No phone service, is perfect for us, it helps everyone reconnect. We love the rules of this place which allows us all to feel safe during our stay. Fiona even came out to check us in, so I didn't have to hobble down the steps with mobilty issues. They are such welcoming and lovely people.

Montana on the Macalister is a picturesque campground that runs along the banks of the Macalister River, with easy access for swimming, fishing and relaxing in the water. Located in central Gippsland – north of Glenmaggie and just south of Licola – giving easy access to the Victorian high country for those wanting to explore, or a short drive through to Heyfield, Maffra, and Traralgon to one of the many local attractions.
The campground is ideally suited for individual families looking for a quiet, clean, relaxing place to camp on a powered site and with 14 acres of lawn along 500 metres of river frontage, those who do not need power will find plenty of space and still have easy access to the amenities. Facilities include showers, toilets, hot water, drinking water. We do not have a camp kitchen or barbecues.
Larger clubs and groups are also welcome at any time and are able to book a section of the grounds or the complete campground in off peak times. Of course, conditions do apply and advanced bookings are essential.
Montana on the Macalister is an affordable place to camp. On the main holidays, numbers are limited to enable families to enjoy time out from the crowds, so the kids can play in a safe and friendly environment.
Montana is a pet friendly park all year round, not just in the off peak times, although the number of pets may be limited in busy times.
