Police have found missing teenager William, who disappeared while camping in dense bushland in Victoria's east six days ago. 

The 17-year-old, whose surname has not been released, disappeared on Friday while camping with a friend at Walhalla East, about 180 kilometres east of Melbourne.

He was last seen wearing shorts and work boots, having left his phone, food and water behind at a makeshift camp. 

Authorities had been concerned for his welfare due to the frigid overnight temperatures in the region, with his disappearance sparking an intense six-day search, involving police divers, the dog squad and helicopters. 

William was located this morning and reunited with his family.
