Devil Cove Campground
Stay in comfort at Lake Eildon National Park's best-equipped campgrounds. Set around picturesque Coller Bay on the shores of the popular lake, the Fraser camping area comprises Devil Cove, Candlebark and Lakeside Campgrounds.
Devil Cove Campground is tucked away just to the north of Candlebark . There is no boat ramp, making it best suited for walkers and nature lovers looking to relax. Fees apply, and bookings are required.
Wake up to the sights and sounds of native birds and grazing kangaroos. Walk around to Merlo's Lookout for beautiful views or stroll along the water's edge on the Collar Bay Walking Trail that links all the campgrounds.
Devil Cove is closed seasonally, opening for peak periods (Public Holidays and School Holidays).
The campground area can accommodate tents and some caravans and campervans. There are hot showers and flushing toilets. There is no boat parking available at the campground and sites are unpowered.
There are picnic tables and shared fireplaces throughout the campground, however no fires are permitted on individual campsites and you need to bring your own firewood.
