The Lions Park Rest Area in Huntly is a conveniently located free campground on the outskirts of Bendigo. 

There is room to pitch tents and park RVs around a central gravel area, and there is a small picnic rotunda as well as a separate undercover electric barbecue area. 



At the back-right of the campground, a walking track crosses the seasonal Back Creek via a narrow bridge and heads through the adjacent Huntly Gardens Natural Reserve for a peaceful stroll among the trees.


A toilet block is situated right alongside the entrance to the campground. 

This small campground can get busy, but it is set in a great location within Bendigo.

Adam is a lovely man, I have no idea how you've even found this out? Please remember that we don't all have a good life.

I agree with Trish! That man has been camped there for about 18 months-I rang the:council-they said they can't do anything, so it's up to you guys :( Now there are about another 4/5 cars there, plus cars, all camped near him, with seemingly no intention of leaving-this is annoying when we all pay rates, mortgages, rent etc and this bozo gets away with living scot-free. Please do something about this situation-even some signs saying you can only stay a week, or get an official to come out and move them all on. It really is an eyesore, and I would be afraid to call in just to go to the toilet. Thank you, Sue

Sorry Trish, not everyone has had the cushy life you've had. It can be the only place left for those with no where else to go.... But for the grace of God, that could be you.

Why do we bother commenting when absolutely nothing has been done? I understand the man in question is homeless, but surely there are some agencies in Bgo that can deal with this issue, and find him somewhere to live? There is now a man in a caravan living there-no car, so he has no way to move the van(another homeless dude abusing the system). C'mon guys, do something about this issue ASAP....please

There are Sue, but he must euthanaise his dog (his only family btw) in order to take up the meagre housing, 1 night in a motel, and back out there two nights later. Have you ever heard these people's stories? Please remember that might be you one day....
