Caliguel Lagoons

Please note -  Council has partnered with the Federal Government to fast-track the $1.2 million revamp for this outdoor facility. As a result, a range of new and improved features have been installed including new fire pits, bin enclosures, shelters, picnic seating, barbecues, vehicle barriers, and wayfinding and entry signage. A brand-new camp kitchen and formalised vehicle and RV parking have also been installed, and Council has delivered fabulous upgrades to the landscaping and day use areas to make the space more appealing for camping stays.

A great, well maintained free campground on the banks of Caliguel Lagoon. There is plenty of room here to park a caravan, and some nice level grassed sites for tent camping. The toilet block is well maintained and even has a disabled/baby change room in the centre as well as an outdoor shower at the back of the block. There are rainwater tanks that supply the amenities block, and last time I was there, the water was excellent. To be on the safe side, you should probably boil it before drinking though. The lagoon itself is fairly small, however there is a good quality boat ramp for launching a boat. The water can be a little murky at times, but it is stil a nice spot for a swim and a great spot for kayak fishing. If you are around in late summer or autumn, the purple water lilies put on a magnificent show.
