Casterton is located along the Glenelg River in Victoria, approximately 42 kilometres east of the South Australian border. The area surrounding Casterton is picturesque with its rolling hills, and sheep, cattle and dairy farms spread throughout the landscape. Casterton is famous for being the birthplace of the Kelpie, a working dog breed that originated in the early 1870s at the Warrock Homestead. The town celebrates its connection with the Kelpie by holding the Casterton Kelpie Muster each year and has also developed a walking trail that showcases 5 unique sculptures that depict the life and times of the Kelpie.

RV travellers can enjoy a leisurely stay at the Ess Lagoon campground on McPherson Street. Up to 1 month stay is allowed, and there is no charge. A dump point and potable water can be found nearby at Island Park Caravan Park.

Visitors to Casterton will discover many natural attractions in the area, including Bilstons Tree, a larger river red gum standing 40 metres high, and the ancient granite boulders called ‘Baileys Rocks’ within the Dergholm State Park.
