Lake Lascelles — Attraction in Hopetoun

We happily free camped here for 2 nights while exploring the silo trail. Another example of the best of Australian culture, love of camping, nature and the great out doors! Lake Lascelles is an incredible man made lake - a welcome sight and experience in drought country. You can swim, fish and boat on the lake. Love places that encourage free or donation camping. Amenities block with shower and toilets. Bins for rubbish. Paid powered camping available as well. Driving around we found weirs etc that also offered camping - and Council swimming pools nearby. A historic area to explore .... Highly recommend Lake Lascelles as a base. Grassed Lake frontage. Hopetoun and other small towns have their attractions. Take the time to experience! Thank you to those that maintain this area! A job well done and...

Just spent 6 nights here and loved our stay. Can't ask for much more from a free camping ground. There's clean toilets and showers which was a bonus.

Our third time here and enjoyed it again so much. Wasn't as busy as we thought it would be for Easter. We stayed in free area and yes when we leave we will leave a donation. I was horrified at the way the ladies amenities block was left on the free side Easter Monday. It was disgusting, so off I went with my broom, disinfectant, rubbish bags and cleaning cloth. I figured if I was going to use it, it had to be cleaned. If everyone cleaned up after themselves instead of relying on volunteers to clean it would be so much nicer. Dirty undies, used pads, toilet paper and rubbish 🤢. Took me 10 minutes to clean. Thank you to the people in Hopetoun for allowing us to stay in this wonderful place. Will definitely...
