Stevensons Falls — Attraction in Barramunga

This used to be a great and disability accessible campground. Parks Victoria have ruined it. For all the 'accessibility' works done in the day area to aid people with different abilities and disabilities to get to the falls, the works on the campground have excluded us completely. I am a disabled woman and couldn't camp there as I rely on a small campervan and awning set up, and all the big stones and bollards prevent me from setting up at all. The entire site now appears to be a park-your-car and tent campground now as so many others already are. As I cant put up a tent on my own even if I had one, it's no longer a place for people with disability's like me to camp anymore. The new day area and the walks are 'fine' but leaving us/PWD no access in the campgrounds is just insulting and excluding.

I'm really disappointed in Parks Victoria. If this was an attempt to help people with disabilities access national parks, you failed to consider our camping needs completely. ( Did you even speak to a PWD at all? ) If it was an attempt to stop bigger caravans and camper trailers showing up it failed as well, because now what they're doing is parking their vans on one side of the bollards and on the other side they're parking their car so they're actually taking up two spots instead of one.

If you just want to park your car and set up a tent away from it, you'll be happy there, good for you, but anyone that's got a tent attached to their car ( most women over 50 I know) or anyone with an awning attached to their car or campervan ( most solo campers with disabilities like me I know) then no, it's not a welcoming place anymore and if you have a camper trailer/c'van towing forget it completely. It's tent campers only and a few big caravan idiots who want to take up two car parks.

Big fail for Parks Vic. Turned a once beautiful campground into an ugly unsightly mess.

I bet it will be 6 months before they demand fees and bookings.

Best waterfall, picnic area and easiest walk. This is my most favourite day trip with family. Hands down. Easy to walk. Close to car park. Has toilets. Great scenery. Tall redwood trees for great ambience, picnic areas surrounded by some greenery open enough that you can play badminton on 😅 and river walks or take beautiful pictures. So easy to get to and close to a free camping grounds. Have I mentioned there's a toilet?

The drive to Stevensons Falls- once you get onto the gravel road, drive slow as it does wind around and is hard to see other cars coming around from the other direction. Take it slow and other cars can also see you allowing both cars to pull in as far to their left as possible so 1 of you can go thru first.

You can park in the camp grounds or go further/closer to the waterfall. The walk from the waterfall car park is very easy and fairly flat grounds, over a little river, then thru redwood trees walk-thru and then a beautiful greenery and picnic area before the 3min slow and easy walk to the waterfall. There are lots of seating benches along the way to enjoy the surroundings. We love this...

Lovely beautiful free walk to the waterfalls! There's ample parking although it might be packed if it's tourist season, the road's quite narrow.

There's two toilets right by the entrance and a helpful map to get to the falls. Any route is fine with the magnificent redwood trees shadowing us as we walked onwards. From entrance to picnic ground, there's a wheelchair-friendly path which makes it accessible to those who need it.

The path is already paved across winding rivers and thw walk was easy to get to the falls. There were a couple of people bathing themselves in the falls not sure if that was legal 🤔

Dog-friendly too! Make sure the dog is on a lead as they may chase lorikeets, rosellas, platypuses and other animals flitting about. The atmosphere was so peaceful and there's even a picnic area in the middle of the forest!

And the waterfalls were so brilliant!!! Possibly the rain a few moments ago made it flow much more. Defo a...
