Lake Coleridge Freedom Camping Area |
 |
Many anglers will be unaware that a new camping ground has been created at the head of Lake Coleridge. Here it is. The new TrustPower Freedom Camping Area viewed from the road. There has obviously been quite a bit of money spent on leveling the ground, piling up the banks, installing water, and building the fence. |

View coming in through the gate and looking right. The camping area is big enough to accommodate everyone who might wish to camp there on Opening Weekend. The tap is in the right foreground. |

I turned the tap on for a moment and sure enough water was flowing! |

The new TrustPower Freedom Camping Area is shown in red and is located on the strip of land between the road and the Harper River Diversion at the head of Lake Coleridge. The main camping area in the past has been around the Boat Harbour next to the Oakden Canal. The new camp ground is about 1km from the lake shore though not really a problem as most anglers drive 4x4s. |

Sign at the entrance to the new TrustPower Freedom Camping Area at the head of Lake Coleridge. The picture should be clear enough for you to read it for yourself. It says on the sign if you want to stay more than one night you must apply for a permit two weeks in advance. |
