Mountain Dam Campground
Last Updated Dec 2014 | Originally suggested by Peter
Lake-side camping in dry open woodland forest within the Rocklands State Forest, facing east to the Grampians.
Tracks follow around the lake for some distance. Most sites slope gently. Reasonable shade provided by Yellow Gum and Box. Boat ramp. Dogs on lead
Kangaroos, wildflowers, ducks and flies are common.
An attractive site if the Reservoir is full. Rated 3.8/5
May be hot and dry in summer, difficult access in winter.
