271 reviewsAbout
Located within the Freestone Creek Camping Precinct, Blue Pool is a popular scenic spot with a large natural waterhole, making it a fantastic place to visit during the warmer months. It is 3 hours drive east of Melbourne
The pool sits at the base of a narrow basalt gorge on the Freestone Creek, surrounded by rocky outcrops and native forest. A rocky beach provides a place to sit and take in the tranquillity of the site.
Blue Pool is a place of great cultural significance to the Braiakaulung people of the Gunaikurnai nation.
Visitors can enjoy the waterhole, picnic area, walks of varying lengths and the camping area.
Blue Pool is a walk-in camping site - one of nine camping areas in the Freestone Creek Camping Precinct. Campers will need to park their vehicles in the designated parking area and bring their camp kit to the site.
There are no dedicated vehicle-based camping sites for camper trailers or caravans and visitors towing caravans should park at The Quarries Reserve just south of Blue Pool. This site has restricted access and large caravans or groups may find it difficult to park or turn.
This site is near water. Make sure you read the water safety tips before you go.

Blue Pool is a lovely place to visit with family and a great spot to spend the day. It’s dog-friendly, which is a big plus, and the surroundings are very scenic. However, visitors should be cautious when entering the water. There are submerged rocks in the pool that are not immediately visible, especially when the water is not clear. Some sections are also unexpectedly deep, and there are no warning signs or marked water levels to indicate this. During our visit, there was a serious incident where someone nearly drowned. Thankfully, nearby people acted quickly and helped her reach safety. Overall, it’s a beautiful place, but extra care is needed, particularly for children and non-swimmers. Clear warning signs and depth markings would greatly improve safety for everyone.

Really nice spot and I love the water bit. Toilets are quite unclean with no toilet paper so byop. Just be careful as even when the water is dried up and it look shallow some parts are really deep cant even see the bottom with snorkels on

Lovely camping grounds. Toilets on site, not sure if there were showers. Good camp kitchen, clean. Great play area for the kids. Nice walk down to the waterhole. The water was nice and clear. Pitty, it's winter, too cold to go in. Would be great for family holidays

Absolutely incredibly beautiful place! Dog friendly and plenty of space. Once you visit, you most definitely will return. Camping available and grassy picnic area. Very hairy, thin road to access the spot so confident drivers are best. Do yourself a favour and get here immediately 😄
