Camping is now banned in regional Victoria as part of stage three coronavoirus restrictions, but it is not alleged the vandals breached those rules, with the damage caused before the restrictions were reintroduced.
DELWP now wants to find the culprits.
Anyone with information regarding recent activity at the Upper Murray campsites can contact Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000 or www.crimestoppersvic.com.au/report-a-crime.
