Violet Hill Campground
Last Updated Mar 2013
This is a popular site for boaters as it has its own boat ramp, and temporary mooring points.
The campground is large, grassy and flat with spots for caravans and some nice shaded sites for tents.
As with most of the camsites in Myal Lakes National Park, you are right on the lake (between Boolambayte and Myall Lake to be precise) so water activities are the name of the game.
This is not too bad a spot for fishing, especially if you hvae a boat to head off into Myal Lakes where the water is a little more salty. They fish for prawns through this area so they are a good bait (the fish expect to be eating them).
