Beaufort RV Park - Free RV Camping in the Pyrenees & Goldfields

As an officially accredited RV Friendly Town, Beaufort welcomes travelling nomads with open arms at its fantastic RV Park, located right beside the beautiful Beaufort Lake. This dedicated, low-cost camping area is a true credit to the local community, offering self-contained motorhome and caravan owners an exceptionally convenient and scenic place to stay. Set within the sprawling grounds of the Beaufort Lake Caravan Park and reserve, the RV Park provides spacious, level sites with a wonderful sense of openness. It’s the perfect base for exploring the rich history of the Goldfields and the acclaimed wineries of the Pyrenees Ranges. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, a place where you can easily stroll into the charming historic town or simply sit back and enjoy the tranquil lakeside environment.

What makes the Beaufort RV Park a standout destination is its superb facilities, specifically tailored for the RV community. For a very small fee, campers gain access to a dedicated dump point and potable water, making it an ideal spot to refresh and restock while on the road. The location is second to none; the park is just a short, pleasant walk from Beaufort’s main street, with its historic pubs, antique shops, and cafes. The lake itself offers a beautiful 4km walking and cycling track right at your doorstep, and it's a popular spot for fishing and kayaking. This perfect combination of town convenience and natural beauty makes it an ideal launchpad for regional adventures. The world-class attractions of Ballarat, including Sovereign Hill, are less than an hour's drive east, while the stunning cellar doors of the Pyrenees wine region are a scenic drive north. For a comfortable, practical, and perfectly positioned stay, the Beaufort RV Park is a top-tier choice for any RV traveller.
