King Hut Camping Area

King Hut is located on the western edge of the Alpine National Park, about 15 kilometres north-east of Mt Stirling, alongside the King River. The four-wheel-drive access route heads down Speculation Road, which is reached via a turn-off from Circuit Rd about 6 kilometres south-east of the Craig's Hut turn-off (Clear Hills Track). There are horse yards here for use by intrepid explorers. Camping is available around the hut site, with drop toilets.

Please note that access by vehicle is not possible from June to November due to seasonal track closures in the High Country. Seasonal closures generally operate from the King's Birthday long weekend in June through to the beginning of November but may be extended due to seasonal conditions. Most tracks reopen on the Friday prior to Melbourne Cup Day long weekend. Contact the Mansfield Visitor Information Centre for more details.
