Lake Albert Caravan park is located in Meningie in South Australia right on Lake Albert. We stayed at this park for 9 days over the busy Australia day weekend. This park is located just a quick 5 minutes walk from the township of Meningie, a small town with all the basic amenities that one would expect to be there.

Our Opinion
Due to us being a bit behind in our bookings, we didn’t realise that Australia Day was just around the corner. When searching for a place to stay, everywhere was already booked out however we came across this one and jumped on it. Unfortunately we could only get an unpowered site for the 9 days we needed. Turned out to be a great place as not only did we get a nice lake side spot, but it was also sheltered from the wind.
The park itself is well run with clean amenities. Our only item of note is that the amenities block was along way from the unpowered section of the park. Our smart watches counted approx. 350-385 steps to the amenities one way. We got our step count up each day and met our daily targets during our stay.
They put on an Australia Day event, which was well attended by the campers including cocktail bar! Plenty of drinking, music and dancing. It was a great afternoon enjoyed by all.
If you are into boating – kayaks, catamaran, jet skis, small boats and water sports, then this place is excellent. When we were they, there was a family party of about 70 people enjoying all the water sports and fun to watch. Plenty of places to launch the boat with a very easy grassy areas acting as a boat ramp and very shallow entry to the water. You could walk out about 50 metres into the lake and still be waist deep in water which makes it ideal for families. We saw people fishing, how successful they were I don’t know. Catherine did see some fish that were caught on her walks with Shadow so they are there.
