We came for 2 and ended up 5!
We originally booked two nights at Beltana Campground… then the rain came, and we got flooded in, so two nights very happily turned into five!
Epic to see the water run
Jan, our host, wasn’t actually there during our stay, but she was always incredibly prompt, helpful and efficient with her communication. In her absence, we were very well looked after by the **“B Team” — her cousin Sam and Greg — who were absolutely amazing hosts and made us feel completely at home.
What a great little spot Beltana is.
The Beltana Progress Association has done an amazing job with the campground. The amenities are some of the best-kept campground showers we’ve come across; there’s lovely rainwater available, plenty of room, and a big communal campfire that’s perfect for sitting around at night.
Make sure you allow time to wander around the historic Beltana townsite. There’s so much to see and explore that you can easily fill a day just poking around and discovering the history of the place.
And definitely pop into the Beltana pub. The homemade carrot cake is worth the stop on its own, along with homemade sausage rolls and soup. There are big roaring fires when it’s cold and a great verandah to sit on when the weather’s good. While we were rained in, we happily whiled away a few hours playing cards and games in the lounge areas in front of the fire — there are certainly worse places to be stranded!
Access is easy, with bitumen almost all the way and only a short section of gravel.
