Rocklands Reservoir, Reservoir and heritage site in Victoria, Australia
Rocklands Reservoir stretches across 6700 hectares near Balmoral, featuring multiple camping grounds and boat ramps along its expansive shoreline.
Construction of the reservoir began in 1941, paused during World War II when the site served as an Air Force training facility, and completed in 1953.
The reservoir functions as a central gathering point for outdoor recreation, offering seven free campgrounds where visitors participate in water activities and camping.
The main wall area and Glendinning Campground accommodate 2WD vehicles, while other camping locations require 4WD access for safe navigation.
Six location buoys mark the positions of main camp grounds on the water surface, helping boaters navigate the extensive reservoir system.
