Posted on Diana MadderTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Another amazing week at Montana! The peace and quiet is fantastic, Dave runs a park with no noise after 10pm and it is so appreciated. You know you'll never get stuck next to music all night. We floated the river for hour and played cricket all arvo. The huge green grass sites are still so amazing too. We'll be back again, can't wait. PS Thanks Dave for showing us the lower gear in the car to get up the hill easily!!Posted on dylan michaelaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We stayed at Montanas recently and absolutely loved it. Great location, right on the river but still plenty of room between campsites as it’s a massive space overall. The river was fantastic and kids and dog loved it as well. Staff were also fantastic and friendly with a great sense of humour. Amenities are well located and kept clean. Other campers were friendly but also respectful of noise late at night. Off leash dog area was great and highly used. Laundry onsite if needed. 20ish minute drive to closest town if you want to get out and about. Really can’t fault it, we had a fantastic time and will 100% be going back.Posted on Damien AndersonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Couldn't fault it! Will be back!Posted on Nick DovileTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Amazing place to stay! Beautiful views everywhere you turn. Spent the weekend with our young kids and another family, and we all had a great time, everything was very clean and close to our site. Shoutout to Dave for helping sort my car before we headed out. Hosts definately go above and beyond! We will be back 👌👌 thanks again guys!Posted on NailZ Van DiggeleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great 4-day experience at the Montana camping grounds despite a rainy miserable Saturday. We opted for the cabin while our friends set up their caravans and tents nearby. The cabin is very Spartan, and we were a bit annoyed that the fly screens were damaged to the point bugs could easily get in if we'd leave the windows open. This was swiftly remedied with tape by management which did suffice for our stay, but I will say fixed fly screens and a fly screen door would be appreciated. Overall, the cabin was quite reasonable both in quality and price. Maybe a tad over priced seeing as the cabin itself did not include bathroom facilities. However, we were very happy to see the amenities are exceptionally well maintained, with humorous signs that encourage everyone to partake in keeping the place tidy, clean, and to be considerate and mindful of others.Posted on Naomi CranstonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Beautiful camp site by the river with clean, spacious amenities including toilets, showers & laundry.Posted on Jodie VanetteTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The best managed and cleanest caravan we have ever been to, and we have been to lots! We loved the quietness and the lush lawns beneath our feet and that magical river perfect for a lazy river float, swim or fish early in the morning. They have a awesome off lead play area for your dog's and the most friendly team that dropped our fire pit off & wood and even collect all your recycled goods each morning. Thankyou and see you again soon :-)Posted on malcolm levyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Again we visited this amazing campsite for out winter camp !!!Dave and Fiona treated us like kings and are the best host ever !!! Ausome !!!!! Is a understatement !!Posted on Brett GoldinTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Best hidden paradise in Australia. David and Fiona treat us like family every time we camp there. Have been camping there twice a year for 8 years and it's become like home. The bathrooms and shower are spotless and the entire place is in pristine condition. Best campsite for summer or winter camping. You won't be disappointed.Posted on Lynn DaelmansTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great park really good sites and really clean and bright amenities blocks staff very helpful and friendly

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.
