If you’re on the hunt for a free campsite with a stunning view around Halls Gap, Victoria, look no further than Lake Lonsdale. This spot is a jackpot for a no-cost site, offering a super relaxed and laid-back vibe. The campsite is spacious, and when I visited, it was pleasantly quiet, so you’ll likely find a perfect spot right by the lake. I rolled in during the late afternoon and was treated to a stunning rainbow and sunset, definitely take the time to enjoy the sunset here, it’s magical!
Waking up to the gentle sounds of water and crisp morning air is the best way to start the day which is what you'll get at this spot. Oh also if you’re into water activities, this place has you covered with swimming and fishing, thanks to its high water levels. Plus, the surrounding area is perfect for nature walks and wildlife spotting. Just remember to bring everything you need since there are no facilities.
