Gippsland is an area with many camping spots both in the mountains and by the water. Timbarra free camping spots are a great option for free things to do in Gippsland
Timbarra State Forest

The road into the camping ground is sealed for the majority of the way before turning into a gravel road. The gravel section was of good quality when we visited as we were able to easily take a Holden Commodore into Timbarra camping areas

Additional Information:
Campfires are permitted, but there are a few rules that need to be followed. The fire is in a fireplace or trench 30 cm deep. These fire pits provided are regulation and are the only areas that fires are allowed on the site. The fire pit is no more than 1 square metre and 3 metres around the fire is cleared.
A lite fire cannot be left unattended and must be put out before you leave. Collect only fallen wood for fires or bring your own. The cutting down trees or damaging standing vegetation is not permitted.
There are no bins, so all rubbish is carried in and carry out. Keep Timbarra free camping in good condition and do your bit with rubbish removal.
