Camping facilities

Lake Becking Campground is a basic bush campground with:

• Free camping (no fees)
• No bookings possible
• Pit toilets (good)
• Picnic tables
• Fireplaces (seasonal fire restrictions apply)
• Large unpowered campsites suitable for tents, camper trailers, caravans and motorhomes
