Martins Tank Lake Campground Upgrade

It was somewhat late on delivery but a visit to the newly upgraded Martins Tank Lake campground has proved that in the end it was well worth the lengthy wait.

A contract worth $1.28 million was issued last year and the completed works on this environmentally sensitive project have included, flora transplantation, road design and construction, new camp kitchen, communal BBQ's and furniture, new caravan bays and campsites, plus new site furniture and viewing decks.

Gone are the bush camp fire rings and rough tracks to be replaced with state of the art features, additional toilet facilities and new sites for motor homes and caravans. 

A camp host has been placed near the entrance to the campground providing on the spot delivery of valuable local information, maintenance of the communal areas and security. There is also a day visitors parking area with beautiful bush trails connecting to the BBQ/picnic area.

One of two new fire pits.  Lids over fire pits will remained locked until the annual fire ban has been lifted.

Additional toilet facilities but due to the lack of an onsite water source there are no showers available. All water is trucked in to keep rain water tanks topped up.

It looks so inviting but alas no swimming permitted
