About
A very basic site on the western shore of Lake Burrumbeet. This site is smaller than the southern shore, so it offers a quieter spot to relax and unwind. Facilities are very basic and there are no toilets provided. This site would suit self sufficient visitors seeking a more secluded experience. Easy access to the Western Highway make this a perfect overnight stop for those passing by. Localised flooding in the wetter months often makes this site inaccessible. If this is the case, head across to the Southern Shore of the lake. There you'll find a drier spot to camp.
Camping
A very basic site offering visitors the chance to camp in a smaller and quieter setting than the South. Camp nestled amongst the eucalypts, or out on the grasslands, it's your choice. The boat ramp makes this a great, quiet spot to set up camp before heading out onto the water.
Caravans and campervans
Easy access from the Western Highway make this a great spot for an overnight or extended stay. The site features an large open area which is perfect for setting up camper trailers.
