I’ve been coming here for the last 10 years and it’s changed a lot, clearly the beauty of the place has gathered attention and it’s received a lot of funding. There is now a day car park as well as the campsite car park and a lot more information boards, upgraded toilets, picnic areas, boardwalks. The walk around the lake is always pleasurable and takes about an hour, including some short stops along the way, there are platypus in the lake but I am yet to see one. The walk is suitable for all fitness levels, the steepest part is near the start to get to the lake itself from the car park. As for the campsite, these are now on a booking system, although you can’t park next to your tent, they do permit you to drive your car to the drop off zone where you can unload all of your kit (saves you walking back and forth from the overnight car park which is at the top of a steep hill). Each camp spot is numbered and has its own flattened area just large enough for one tent. When it gets dark, make sure you walk to the banks of the stream as you will see glow worms.

We enjoyed our stay. The grounds were well kept and had about 18 sites for tents and a dozen or so pits scattered around the grounds.Trail head for both bikes, walks and a couple good forest runs. Freshwater creek and also some rain water from the tank available.Drop toilets were as designed and are regularly emptied via truck.The lake is a good walk away for all levels and able to be enjoyed even by the lazy folk.Tent sites are on smaller than other Vic camp grounds but still manageable. Books out early and often for the major holidays and school breaks.

Great little spot for camping or for a nice walk through the forest to the Lake. About 15-20 min drive from Forest. The camping ground has good toilets, but limited space for camping and parking. You must book first online, and the cost is about $30/night. The walk to the lake is very nice through the forest, mostly shaded, so even on a hot day, it is enjoyable. Please note that there is only a small creek (barely running in the summer), so you will need to bring most of your water. Be mindful of Fire Bans, as there is no mobile reception and the place is fairly isolated.

We went on the walk from the camp elizabeth camp ground to lake elizabeth that created from a landslide in the 1950's from heavy rain. Being a temperate rain forest it is about 4 degrees cooler. Take something warm. If you wish to walk around the lake go early. We got there around lunchtime. Its a good walk to the lake. You will see some beautiful forest.

Very beautiful area. The fireplaces were quite nice and handy. The camp spots are on the smaller side. There is no mobile reception. Bring an ear plug if the loud sound of frogs at night might bother you.

Campground is so neat, took my dog for camping for the first time, and he enjoyed a lot. Visited the beautiful lake Elizabeth in the morning with 1 hour round trip. Took some pictures with the drone. Sunrise is very beautiful on the lake. Would like to visit again and again.

Nice walk to lake, beautiful views, it was a hot day so plenty of snakes crossing or on the path, keep eyes open if a hot day. They slithered away living their lives like us.

I spent 3 nights before Christmas. Beautifully maintained 20 tent sites. Some picnic tables overgrown with moss and not all campfires have the swivel centre piece for hanging your billy. You need to take all your own drinking water or boil up the river water, and kindling and firewood. Drop toilets are clean. Loads of wild life wallabies, koalas, birds, snakes, lizards and lush flora. Beautiful !
