Lake King William camping area (bush camping)
Campsite
These undeveloped lakeside camping areas in bush clearings along narrow tracks are not accessible to larger rigs. Accessed from the Lyell Hwy A10, 5 km west of Derwent Bridge, there are sites among trees near the boat ramp overlooking a vista of stark – but very photogenic – dead tree stumps. A more scenic area at Butlers Gorge in the south is reached along Butlers Gorge Rd, 15 km from its turn-off on the Lyell Hwy, 3 km south of Tarraleah. There are fireplaces but fuel stoves are preferred. Trout fishing is seasonal and a licence is needed. The nearby Lake St Clair World Heritage Area is well worth a visit.
