Lake Burbury Foreshore

Lake Burbury Camping Ground sits on the shore of Lake Burbury along the Lyell Highway, about 20 minutes east of Queenstown on Tasmania's west coast.

The lake borders the World Heritage Wilderness Area and was created in the early 1990s for hydro-electricity production. It is widely regarded as one of Tasmania's top trout fishing destinations, with both brown and rainbow trout available seasonally.

The campground offers two grassed sites suitable for tents, caravans, campervans, and motorhomes. A caretaker is on-site, and facilities include a boat ramp, public toilets, BBQ facilities, and a picnic area.

Kayaking and canoeing are popular on the lake alongside fishing. No advance booking is required, and visitors should bring their own water and firewood.
