Planning your trip
Many campsites here are state forest camping areas run by the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, with Parks Victoria managing a smaller number. Forest camping areas are usually first come, first served, while some park campgrounds take bookings. Lake Burrumbeet South is split into several numbered camping areas, so choose the one you mean before you check it.
For state forest campsites, the Explore Outdoors Victoria camping pages explain the rules and what to bring. For Parks Victoria campsites, use the park page. A hut or lake in a name says nothing about shelter or water, so check the official page before you rely on either. Check fire restrictions before you travel.
