Tara Lagoon

Tara Lagoon is a camper’s and fisherman’s haven, beckoning with the promise of yellowbelly, jewfish and yabbies to inspire many camping cook ups. Bring your kayak and canoe for a leisurely paddle (no power boats). Camping here is affordable, with fees starting from $5/night for unpowered sites and $10/night for powered sites, which are payable to the Council caretakers who come past each day. If you’re not fishing, there’s always stretching your legs and sightseeing – the lagoon is surrounded by a Memorial Park and a four kilometre circuit walk with a new boardwalk across the water.
