No water in the lake and being the South West of Victoria in dry/drought conditions. However, the camp on the outskirts of town has plenty of space, shade and drinking water available at several taps located around the Lake foreshore. The showers are hot and the toilets flush. A volunteer will call late in the afternoon to collect $5- per night. Very quite and on New Years Eve was only occupied by "Grey Nomads" and few families. No water in the Lake at this time of the year does provide sum positives???

I stayed here recently and thought I would update the previous report.
It is a very good camp spot, albeit very popular. I was here mid-week and the campers were older folk travelling.
I would be interested on how busy it would be during a holiday period/long weekend.
Here are some photos of how it looked during my visit.
Goes to show if ya use the Search Engine ... and it brings up earlier posts, ya jest GOTTA check which sub-forum it brings up.
I didn't check and assumed (bad move ) and then posted me info and pics.
I meant to bung it in the Free/Budget Campites sub-forum.
Cheers - John

Hello John
I never spotted that they were in different sections of the forum, until you pointed it out, only that they were under different named topics
So thanks for that as I shall try to more alert from now on
In my opinion, so I could be wrong, it is very easy not to spot a camp when using the Search, as sometimes the same camp is put under different names
For example this topic is named Green Hill Lake Reserve-Ararat Vic, while the other topic is named ARARAT free camping
I hope that I am doing the right thing by putting links to camps I have stayed at, which are in different names/sections of the forum I just have the gut feeling that it is the right thing to do Or at least not doing any harm

Just spent 5 days as this lake. Brilliant and plenty of rainbow trout. Lake restocked last August after drought. The entire campsite is dog friendly with one section off-leash. On the Easter weekend there was about 300 vans/tents.

Hello John
I stayed here in February 2017 for about six days
It got busier on the weekend with families coming for a swim
I only saw about half a dozen boats, and there were still plenty of parking places left
Below is a link to the same camp, in a different section of the forum
