Lake Burrumbeet Caravan Park
Experience the best of both worlds at Lake Burrumbeet Caravan Park, where serene lakeside camping meets the rich history and excitement of Victoria’s Goldfields. Located just a short 18-kilometre drive west of Ballarat, our park offers a peaceful escape on the picturesque shores of Lake Burrumbeet. It’s the perfect destination for those looking to cast a line, launch a boat, or simply sit back and watch a stunning sunset over the water. Our spacious, grassy sites and comfortable cabins provide a welcoming retreat after a day of exploring, making it an ideal choice for families, couples, and solo travellers alike.
Our park is more than just a place to stay; it’s a place to play and reconnect. We offer a fantastic range of facilities designed for comfort and fun. Kids will love the playground, trampoline, and swimming pool, while the large games room with a billiard table and table tennis is a hit with all ages. The modern camp kitchen and BBQ area are perfect for preparing a meal with friends, new and old. Famous for its excellent fishing, Lake Burrumbeet is a haven for anglers hoping to catch Redfin and Trout. With a boat ramp nearby, you’re moments away from a day on the water. We are also proudly pet-friendly, so you don’t have to leave your four-legged family member behind. With Ballarat’s major attractions like Sovereign Hill and the Wildlife Park just minutes away, Lake Burrumbeet Caravan Park serves as the ultimate basecamp for a memorable Victorian holiday that combines relaxation and adventure.
