Budj Bim Campground

The campground provides individual campsites that are accessible via unsealed, narrow, winding tracks and includes some campsites that are suitable for caravans. Typically, these campsites are suited to shorter car-caravan combinations and require drivers to have adequate skill and confidence to manoeuvre in and out of tight locations. Campfires are permitted only in fireplaces provided. Several campsites have exclusive use of a fireplace, some share a fireplace with the neighbouring campsite, while others do not have a fireplace at all. Carefully check the site details when booking a campsite to ensure your campsite has the facilities you require and is suited to your camping setup. Campground sites are between rocky ridges formed by ancient lava flows and accommodate up to six people with provision for one vehicle. Site 22 is a group site that can accommodate up to 24 campers. Facilities include flushing toilets, hot showers, shared fireplaces and picnic tables. Note that due to limited water supply, showers are controlled by a timer that restricts showers to 2 minutes. Budj Bim has a fascinating cultural and geological history. This is a unique and picturesque landscape. As recent as 30,000 years ago, volcanic eruptions blasted through the earth's crust pouring out thousands of tonnes of molten rock into the surrounding landscape. Volcanic features in the area include the remains of relatively recent and extensive lava flows, lava caves, scoria cones and crater lakes. Follow the Lake Surprise Walk from the lookout and descend to walk around the crater-lake's edge. The longer Lava Canal circuit Walk reveals some amazing features including lava blisters, Tunnel Cave, Natural Bridge and a dry crater as it returns to the start offering views out into the park and down into the crater.
