This is one of many camp sites located within the Delatite Arm Reserve. The reserve is situated along the shores of Lake Eildon and is adjacent to bushland, pine plantation and revegetated forest areas. It is popular for camping, water sports, scenic views and fishing. A network of forest tracks provides opportunities for 4WDriving, trail bike riding, mountain bike riding and bush walking.

SITE ACCESS
The reserve is approximately 190 km north east of Melbourne, via Mansfield or Jamieson. Access to the Delatite Peninsula is via Walshs Road, near the township of Goughs Bay. Motor vehicles, trucks, motorbikes, mountainbikes, horses and pedestrians share this road.

During summer, traffic can create considerable dust and restrict visibility so please drive according to local conditions. Harvesting of the pines can occur any time from November to July. Trucks carrying logs and harvesting equipment use UHF channel 25 to communicate with other traffic..

FEES
Fees are not charged and booking is not necessary, camping is on a first-come first-served basis and no bookings are required, but early arrival may be advisable during peak periods.
