Lake Burrumbeet Caravan Park

Lake Burrumbeet Caravan Park sits on the shore of Lake Burrumbeet, about 20 minutes west of Ballarat just off the Western Highway. It is a straightforward, dog-friendly stopover with grassed powered sites and a handful of dog-friendly cabins, so it works equally well as a highway break or a lakeside weekend with the dog.

Dogs at the park

Dogs are welcome on powered and unpowered sites, and the park also offers dog-friendly cabins. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times in common areas and should not be left unattended at your site. Specific weight limits and pet fees for cabin stays are not clearly published, so confirm both with the park on +61 3 5344 0583 before booking, especially for cabins.

Max: sites are the safe booking for a dog here. If you want a cabin, ring +61 3 5344 0583 and get the pet fee and limits confirmed first.

The park itself

Guests consistently rate the amenities, camp kitchen and games room, and the lakefront position gives you wide views and strong sunsets across the water. Sites are grassed and level, and the walk from your site to the lake edge is short enough that morning and evening dog walks become part of the routine. As a highway stop it is an easy on-off from the Western Freeway, and as a base it puts Ballarat's attractions within a 20-minute drive while you stay somewhere quiet.
