The Lakes Entrance Recreation Reserve stands as one of the most iconic and versatile destinations for travellers exploring the Gippsland Lakes region of Victoria. Perfectly situated at the gateway to the Ninety Mile Beach, this reserve provides a unique combination of sporting facilities and premium holiday accommodation. Whether you are arriving with a large caravan, a modest tent, or a high-tech camper trailer, the reserve offers an unparalleled level of convenience, being just a stone’s throw from the vibrant township of Lakes Entrance while maintaining a sense of coastal tranquillity.

As a central hub for regional tourism, the Lakes Entrance Recreation Reserve is highly favoured for its proximity to the Cunninghame Arm and the expansive lake systems that define the area. Visitors often find themselves enchanted by the local marine life, with frequent sightings of Burrunan dolphins and various water birds. The reserve itself is a hive of activity, frequently hosting local sporting events, markets, and community gatherings, making it more than just a place to stay—it is an immersion into the local Gippsland lifestyle.

Diverse accommodation options ranging from powered grass sites to ensuite sites and modern cabin stays.
Proximity to world-class fishing spots, including the jetties and boardwalks of the North and South Arms.
Immediate access to major sporting facilities, including football ovals, netball courts, and cricket nets for active families.
A safe and welcoming environment for all ages, with ample space for children to play and explore in a secure coastal setting.
Convenient access to the Princes Highway, making it an ideal base for day trips to Buchan Caves or the Metung village.

Lakes Entrance Recreation Reserve is particularly noted for its well-maintained infrastructure and high-quality amenities.
