RV TRAVEL
For the RVer, there are a couple of options for
taking in this must-see destination. Leave your
camper/caravan in Kalgoorlie and do the 370km
round trip in a day. Keep in mind that the 110km
return from Menzies to the lake is unsealed.
Another place to leave the van is at Goongarrie
National Park, 105km north of Kalgoorlie. Another
option is to drive to Menzies and take advantage
of the small caravan park near the hotel. This will
give you plenty of time to meet all the statues at
Lake Ballard in the early morning or late afternoon
(considered prime viewing times) without having
to race to or from Kalgoorlie.
Basic bush camping with composting toilets is
allowed at Lake Ballard: this is strictly BYO-water-
and-all-supplies style camping.
Lastly, you can continue on the Golden Quest
Discovery Trail up the sealed road to Leonora
and Laverton, which both have caravan parks
and other facilities.
