Information
Green Hill Lake Reserve is a popular spot for campers, caravanners and outdoor enthusiasts. Located only 5 minutes drive from the well equipped town of Ararat, its an ideal location offering plentiful shady lakeside camping where dogs are welcome, you can swim or kayak, have a campfire and enjoy flushing toilets and hot showers - all free! (Donations are accepted).
The camping sites are spread along a large area overlooking an attractive shallow lake filled with birdlife and suitable for non powered watercraft. There is also a boat ramp for motorised craft with exclusion zones and speed restrictions.
Extensive camping areas fringe the lake with a tiered slope if you prefer to camp higher back. There is a fenceline about 150m back with views over the flat, open farmland.
Designated no camping zones offer picnic areas for day use visitors on lush grass.
Fires are permitted only in fireplaces. Firewood is available to purchase. Water birds plentiful. Pleasant walking trails.
Toilet blocks offer hot showers, flush toilets, hand dryers, etc.
Very well maintained bins, signage, toilet blocks, water.
Stays longer than 5 days require a permit from the local shire council.

A great spot for large groups.
