Vale Queen Elizabeth II. I’ve been trying to find campgrounds named after our monarch – instead today, I’ll feature some places bearing Her name…
Lake Elizabeth and Campground, Otways, Victoria
You’ll find this secluded camp and 1 km walk to the lake in the Great Otway National Park – near The Great Ocean Road and Forrest. It is actually a walk in, tent site only, and dogs are allowed on lead. The lake only formed from a landslide in the 50s, so maybe it is named after our late queen? Spot the platypus and satin bower birds, superb fairy wrens and Eastern yellow robins.
Thanks to Sam and Bridget for these stunning images.
Bettys Beach, near Albany, Western Australia
Beloved Bettys Beach is pet friendly, free camping area, located 50 km east of the Albany townsite. With limited space at this popular campsite, you’ll want to get in early.
There is a 48 hour maximum stay, and no camping mid February to April when professional fishers use the site in salmon season.
There is no camping on the beach due to soft sand, surf conditions and tides, however campers enjoy direct access to the beach and spectacular water views. It is 2WD accessible. Note: there is a highly steep access road with a small turnaround area.
Mount Elizabeth Station, The Kimberley, Western Australia
Off the Gibb River Road, you can camp at this remote half-million acre, fully operational cattle station. Only for off road vehicles, they offer accommodation and meals, too. The gorges are breathtaking, and you can swim here! You can also challenge yourself on 4WD tracks, bushwalk, bird watch, fish and view Aboriginal rock art sites.
Elizabeth Beach, Booti Booti National Park, New South Wales
Find this picnic area and beach at Elizabeth Bay, near Pacific Palms and Forster via the beautiful Lakes Way. Pacific Palms Caravan Park is your closest camping, and adjacent to the national park. Further north, there is The Ruins Campground within the national park. Located on a peninsula, with Wallis Lake bordering the western edge, there is ample birdwatching, walking, swimming, whale watching and right now – wildflowers!
Queenstown, Tasmania
A whole town with a royal moniker and views! Campers can choose from a RV park and caravan park. Queenstown Lions Club RV Park is for self contained vehicles, including Big Rigs – and it is budget priced and pet friendly. No facilities. Queenstown Cabin and Tourist Park is also pet friendly, with facilities and less than 2 km for the town centre.
