G'Day Y'all,
Headin to Awonga in January to give these Barra a crack! (First time impoundment barra fishing)
Were goin to camp it, so just wondering where we should set up base camp for the week??
Is it praticle to leave the boats in at night to make life easier, or best to take them out??
Thanks for any help from any seasoned campaigners who have regularly made the pilgramage to Awonga!!

Mate, the caravan park at Awoonga is about 1km from the boat ramp and would not recommend that you leave boats in. At the old ramp, the houseboats, tenders and some hire boats are stored and heard that a few weeks ago now gated chains were cut and a few motors etc stolen.
Very occassionally you hear of issues with vehicles however not very often.
Camping grounds are great or the Gateway cabins down the road if a comfy bed is required.
Cheers Gaz
We done over there a couple of years ago, mongrels stole thousands worth of gear out of the boat and from around the camp while we slept.
Dont let that stop ya but mate, the fishing should be really firing by then.Just make sure all your gear is stowed away and you should be sweet.As barrachief said i wouldnt leave a boat in over night mate..Dont they lock the gate to the new ramp anymore????
Times have changed ramp is now open 24/7Originally Posted by uglyfish
Pod,
Camping at the Lake Awoonga Caravan Park is great, Two minute drive to boat ramp. They have cabins as well, of varying sizes and prices. 07 4975 0155

I wouldn't leave your boat in overnight, or any tackle in boats at the camp ground, no matter where I stayed.
Another place to stay is the Gateway, about 5 - 10 minutes from boat ramp. Cabins only 07 4975 0033
January can a tough month. For a first timer, a day with one of the guides would be a good option.
Good luck,
Matt
