Billy, this is not the jewel of Ararat, it’s a filthy place where all the drug attic’s reside and hobos and drunks, there syringes lying everywhere, freeloaders been there for more than 5 years. Shame Ararat city council.

Approximate cost: $5

Four kilometres outside of Ararat is the beautiful Green Hill Lake campsite. With solar powered hot water, the shower blocks provide hot showers, and flushing toilets. There is a playground for children - with some newly laid pine bark to soften the landing.

There are water taps with good clean water for drinking, and plenty of shady trees around to provide shelter and shade.

A dump point for Black Water waste is available in the town of Ararat.

The five dollar fee is a donation of sorts to the Green Hill Development Board.

It is a lovely place to pass a night or a week, and a bargain at five dollars.

Approximate cost: $5.00
