Best places: Campgrounds in Ararat, Australia

Informal retreat offering casual studios, apartments and cedar cabins with kitchens, plus a pool.

👍👍 This campsite just outside Ararat is Free for up to five days permit required after that. Further around the lake a permit is required at all times. Donations accepted for the up keep of the grounds and thoroughly deserving of such and suporting the local businesses would be great. Very popular for...

👍👍 It's a very beautiful camp ground with heaps of space for camping. I think its one of a big camping site as far i visited with a natural beauty. Highly recommended.

Simply furnished quarters in a relaxed cabin complex with BBQs & mountain views, plus free parking.

👍👍 Place to be living. Everything that you need to living in real life. Amazing paradise and service. Thank you very much Aidan Banfield.

😠 DO NOT STAY HERE We came in a big group, during off peak and in winter. 2 cabins and 3 unpowered sites with 15 people. There was no indication when booking that the camp kitchens, toilet blocks and majority of the camp site would be closed off for use. The jumping pillow was also no in use, which wa...

👍👍 It only takes 25mins to Halls Gap! A lot of nearby hiking trails for a hikers. We stayed for two nights and really enjoyed the birds sound in the morning, it’s so relaxing and I really enjoyed the bush shower tbh! Anyway, you might need to bring a mosquito and fly repellent on summer, and a lot of d...

👍👍 Super Close to Mackenzie Falls and more wildlife than you can poke a stick at! Excellent public camp shower setup, just take you own warm water over; Toilets are pretty good too; No Drive-in camp sights which was a little pain with the awning attached to the car but we managed; Excellent fire pits;...

👍👍 Reasonably flat area for our caravan. Not many campers here. Very quite overnight, no traffic noise until after 7am when a car went past. Toilets are very good, not a smell problem and very clean.

👍👍 Great campground just in front of the car park. Very spacious with some fire pits, basic drop toilet (no toilet paper) and water tank (not for drinking). The place has a small hut with table and chair. Also great for picnic/resting. This campground is the starting and ending point of the great popul...

👍👍 A 1.6km walk with an upward slope. A small section is about a 30 degree slope. But the reward is worth it. This is a seasonal waterfall so dries up in Summer. But in Spring after rain it is flowing beautifully and the wildflowers are out.

👍👍 Our first stop exploring Mt Cole. Big campground surrounded by tall gum trees, big shelter, lots of tables with benches. A new and an old toilet block. There was no one else there, on a rainy weekday.

👍👍 Was very lucky to need a spot to stay for the night near Ararat and happened to stop here - we were the only people in the camping area. It's a beautiful Gumtree forest with plenty of camping spots, campfire pits, and picnic tables. There are toilets as well but I didn't venture into them. Great spo...

👍👍 Campgrounds are nice and clean, plenty of room to relax and unwind. Pit fires are great to sit around on cold nights. Toilets were the only issue for us. Bit smelly, so take some spray. Plenty to do around the Grampians, Mackenzie falls, zumpstiens, halls gap etc.

🫤 A cheap caravan park but friendly owners all the same. The roads need to be graded as they are quite uneven. The bathrooms were sometimes clean but didn't have soap and the cobwebs everywhere were of putting. There are random things around the park which make it look untidy. Needs a good clean up an...
