We're heading to do the silo tour over
Easter and after recommendations for campsites. We are fully self sufficient but don't mind paying for a site if we have to.
Have camped at
Lake Lascelles previously and have no issues staying htere again though the speed boats could ruin the serenity. We will most likely head into the desert after we see the silo's. Just have the main
Easter days available.
Thanks in advance

We visited the silo's last year and stayed at the
Green Lake campground on the Sealake-Birchip Rd. There was no water in the lake. as it has a drainage problem, and they have the funding to repair it in the near future, hence no boats. Amenities are basic but good, Electric BBQ, and hot showers. You do not need to put coins in for hot shower as per the sign ( caretaker advice ). There is also some electric sites but minimal first in as the saying goes. Depending on the time you go , mid week etc, weekends you get a lot of chinese camping who disregard the rules for noise as they are there to get the early sunrise on Lake Tyrell. This seems to be the in thing at the moment. It is also worth a drive down to the old saltworks and a walk on the
salt lake if you have the time. the road in and out is ok but limited
parking. I had had many experiences racing around Lake Tyrell in the Mallee Rally

Thanks Garry,
Will have a look as I like the salt lakes. We went to
Lake Gairdner last year for speed week and enjoyed our time on the salt.

G'day Phantom,
Currently looking at doing the Silo Trail ourselves this year, having been in the area before and only having seen the Brim Silos, we are keen to see the others.
Camp site at
Rupanyup Memorial Park, Brim Highway Park,
Beulah RV Park (work in progress) off Luna Park Road, and north of
Patchewollock is Lake
Walpeup (great quite
camp by a
water hole) if weather is good you won't want to leave.
Enjoy the trip.
baz
