Lake Augusta - TAS

Lake Augusta basic camping is available at Lake Augusta boat ramp for fully self-contained vehicles only. There are no Camping fees, but a National Parks pass is required.

Turn off the Lake Highway at Liawenee and drive on a gravel road for app. 13 kilometres until you come to the Lake Augusta Dam. On the left-hand side of the road you will see the Thousand Lakes Lodge. Turn right immediately before the dam and you will see 3 relatively flat sections at different elevations where you can camp overnight in fully self-contained vehicles. There are no facilities, and the area is prone to strong winds, heavy rain and high snowfall.

It is not an option to camp in a tent.

There is a further area for camping on the Southern end of the Lake, immediately over the dam and on the right. However, the road is poor and subject to flooding at short notice so please take care. There are excellent opportunities for fishing and bushwalking in the area.
