LAKE BOLAC FORSHORE CAMP RESERVE

Public BBQ

A foreshore camping reserve on Lake Bolac, run on a $10 a night donation left in the tin at the toilets - not free, whatever some sites say. The bathrooms are the surprise: proper, spotless and with genuinely hot showers, run by volunteers, with a $5 token from the milk bar, shop or visitor centre. Drinking water is potable, there are barbecues, a sink, tables and chairs, and fire pits throughout. The ground is flat and there is enough of it to camp well away from anyone else. The lake is large and often glassy, good for paddling a board, with excellent birdlife, a sandy edge to walk along and superb sunsets. Dogs are welcome on lead. Be ready for the bugs - not bees, but there are a great many of them.
