A minimum donation of $5 per campsite, per day ensures that local facilities are maintained for users. These funds have allowed the area to be mowed and native trees to be planted for shelter.

We encourage responsible camping.

Please DO NOT light fires, we have no ability to fight a fire throughout the Village. The nearest volunteer fire service is over 30 minutes away and even a small fire would devastate the area.

Can i get to the Blue Lake from the campsite?

Yes, there is a short walking track that will take you through the historic gold mine to the Blue Lake. This area can be slippery due to snow in Winter, please wear appropriate footwear.

Camping at the Blue Lake is strictly prohibited due to the unstable cliff faces and risk of fire to the Heritage Village.
