The large campground is set alongside the lake with views over the water, and is well equipped with visitor facilities.
Picnic tables, fire pits, wood fire barbecues, and rubbish bins are scattered throughout the camping area. A large central toilet block offers free hot showers as well as power points.
Camping is free of charge, no bookings required, but please consider leaving a contribution in the donations box.
Donations go towards the upgrades and maintenance of the excellent facilities at Green Hill Lake. Most campers leave a donation of $5 per night.
Large trees offer some shade for campers, and many of the trees are excellent for kids to climb. A large cluster of boulders alongside the camping area is also great for climbing kids - but watch out for snakes during summer.
A sheltered barbecue area and playground are located close to the campground.
