Lakeside Campground
Stay in comfort at Lake Eildon National Park's best-equipped campgrounds. Set around picturesque Coller Bay on the shores of popular Lake Eildon, the Fraser camping area includes Lakeside, Candlebark, and Devil Cove Campgrounds.
Situated on the south side of Coller Bay, Lakeside Campground offers toilets, picnic tables, shared fireplaces and a shelter. It is the best choice for motorised boating and watersports enthusiasts, with the nearby concrete boat ramp allowing access to the lake year-round at varying water levels (down to 10 per cent of capacity). Fees apply, and bookings are required.
Launch your boat or canoe and enjoy the walking and cycle trails along the shore or up into the forested hills to one of the lookouts with a magnificent view over the lake.
Lakeside Campground area can accommodate tents and some caravans and campervans. Boat parking is available within and adjacent to the campground. 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.
Please note that the Lakeside Campground does not have showers or wheelchair-accessible toilets. If you need these facilities, please stay at the Candlebark or Devil Cove campsites instead.
