Collingwood River campsite
Campsite
This small camping area with no facilities is in the ferny rainforest on the eastern side of the Lyell Hwy A10, where it crosses the Collingwood River, 40 km west of Derwent Bridge. This is where seasoned adventurers set out for rafting trips on the Franklin River, and it’s a great spot for some challenging paddling in the river’s Grade 6 rapids. It’s a fuel stove-only area and the river water should be boiled for drinking. Visitors need to have a Parks Pass.
