Lake King William camping area (bush camping)

boat ramp canoeing fishing no rubbish disposal pets allowed vehicle-based camping

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.
