Lake Eildon Campground

Camp by Lake Eildon and enjoy a whole world of watersports in a spectacular setting. Go swimming, canoeing, waterskiing, sailing, and fishing in the shadow of the Victorian Alps. Enjoy bushwalking or cycling along a network of trails. You'll share the picture-perfect surroundings with kangaroos, wombats, and a huge variety of beautiful birds. The park is also an important home for several significant species including large forest owls (Powerful and Barking Owls), bats, and the endangered Spotted Tree-frog and Brush-tailed Phascogale.

Take a day trip to Lake Eildon or stay overnight at one of the picturesque campgrounds. Choose from the well-equipped Devil's Cove, Candlebark, and Lakeside Campgrounds or the more basic Mountaineer, O’Toole Flat, Coopers Point, Taylors Creek, or Jerusalem Creek Campground.

Boat, sail, waterski, canoe, or kayak on the lake. Bring your own gear or hire from local providers.

Take a walk and stop at Merlo Lookout or trek up to Blowhard Summit for unrivaled views over Lake Eildon and out towards Mount Buller or you could stay on a houseboat for a more sedate holiday.

As rivers, lakes, and reservoirs are natural environments, you may encounter hazards. Follow our water safety advice to make sure your day out at Lake Eildon National Park is a safe and enjoyable one.
