Lake Catani Campground booking information
Summer camping at Lake Catani is available from the beginning of November (Melbourne Cup weekend) until the end of April and campsites must be booked in advance.
Peak season bookings apply during summer school holidays.

Five hike/ski-in sites are available for free winter camping during the declared snow season. Situated around the stone hut, fires may be lit only in the fireplaces within the picnic shelter and campground amenities are closed during winter though a toilet is available nearby.

The Lake Catani camping area has several campsites that are well-suited for visitors in wheelchairs as they are located on reasonably level ground and are located within 50 metres of the visitor amenities building. The most accessible sites are sites 2, 3, 11 and 12.

Access to the toilets and showers from the campsites is from one of several compacted gravel paths that meander through the trees from the various campsites, with some paths wider than others.

There are no designated disabled parking bays in the camping area but campsites have sufficient space for vehicles to be parked close to the tents.

The unisex accessible toilet and shower has its own separate entrance in the visitor amenities building.
