Description

Camping area in open box woodlands on the foreshore of Rocklands Reservoir. 4WD is required to access this site. Facilities include fireplaces, toilets, picnic tables and boat ramps. Camping is on a first-come first-served basis and no bookings are required, but early arrival may be advisable during peak periods. Bush camping (i.e. away from designated areas) is permitted, but not in those areas fenced off for rehabilitation or signposted 'No camping'. To minimise your impact on the environment please follow these practical requirements. Always maintain your campsite in a clean and tidy condition. Camp at least 20 metres from any stream or the full supply level of any reservoir. Camp at least 1 km from designated camping areas and 50 metres from any sealed road. Do not wash in streams or reservoirs. Pitch your tent in a natural clearing and avoid River Red Gums as their limbs can drop without warning. Use a chemical toilet or bury human waste at least 100 metres from any stream or reservoir high water mark. Vehicles must stay on existing tracks. Dogs are allowed and must be under direct control at all times and are expected to be kept on a leash in picnic and camping areas or when near other visitors. There is no rubbish collection service, so please take your rubbish home. Do not bury rubbish or try to burn bottles or cans. Balmoral and Cavendish have free public rubbish tips. If you have the misfortune to come across other peoples rubbish, do the bush a favour and take it out with you too. Generators are permitted provided they do not disturb other visitors. Use them sparingly and consider others. During operating times the ground and airspace within 3 metres of the generator must be cleared of flammable material and someone in close attendance at all times.
