Set up camp next to undulating Mirrool Creek frontage and enjoy recreational activities including swimming, fishing and paddling. Don't forget to bring your canoe or kayak. The camp area is scattered with redgums and you have great views of the wonderful scenery. Depending on where you camp as far as access to the toilets goes, you could be anywhere from 20 metres to 500 metres from the facilities. Water is also in close proximity as well depending on where u setup. You are welcome to enjoy a campfire, within local regulations. There is plenty of wildlife around, including kangaroos. and birdlife. Close to Lake Abortree, a 70 acre inland lake. Only 6kms from village of Ariah Park- whichlikes to describe itself as a town of 'bowsers, wowsers and peppercorn trees'. There is something delightfully timeless about the town: the wide main street with the tree-lined median strip; the old shops with their verandas; the quietness and peacefulness. The town is listed by the National Trust as a Conservation Area.

Peaceful site on the edge of Lake Abortree sadly in need of rain but would be great fun when full. Lovely birdsong and flowering gums. Great to have a fire and with no livestock our pooch was able to run free. Facilities are very basic but Geoff was friendly and helpful providing firewood and water for the toilet. Beautiful sunsets and a cracking storm provided plenty of drama

Weekend Trip to Mirrool Creek, Lake Abortree

Geoffrey is such a nice host that helps us a lot. He will take you to his property since the location pined on hitcamp is not precise. The lake is only 10% of its capacity due to no rain but still looks great because of the wild open area with the top down view. Far away from other campers thus feels premium. High quality wild firewood provided. No rain means have to use the bucket of water to flush the toilet but much better than drop toilet. Highly recommended. You won’t regret.

5 nights at Mirrool Creek, Lake Abortree

Geoff was an incredible host going above and beyond for us. The kids loved kayaking, fishing and catching yabbies. If you enjoy camping with no one else around, amazing stars, the sounds of frogs croaking at night, and waking up to the chirping of countless birds then you will love it here.

2 nights at Mirrool Creek, Lake Abortree

Geoff is a great host and great/quick with communication! He gave us directions from town and then took us to the campsite. The site itself was peaceful and with lots of room. The lake is surrounded by lovely trees which provide some much needed shade. We took our SUPs out on the late and had a good paddle around and got to see some of the bird life around the area. Would 100% recommend this site.
