VIC Muster 2018 At Taylors Campground Lake Eildon

Our second MARS Enthusiasts VIC Muster was held at Taylors Campground Lake Eildon VIC. We had a fantastic time with a large group of 61 people turning up. We had a great camp oven cook off and a roaring fire each night.

After the continued success of the Musters the roadshow continued at  the 2nd Victorian Muster. After last years hit at Glendinning we moved to Taylor’s at Lake Eildon which is on the point of the Delatite arm. Lake Eildon is one of the biggest man made lakes in Victoria and is almost 3 times the size of Sydney harbour.

How To Get To Taylors Campground Lake Eildon

For all those who struggle with getting to places I always suggest typing in Mansfield into your GPS. Mansfield is like the hub for everyone in the area. In the summer it’s a vibe for all the campers and water skiers and in the winter it’s vibe changes to snow skiing with Mt Buller only 45mins drive from the town.

Mansfield has two major supermarkets IGA and Foodworks and numerous bottle shops to get your supplies before you head down to the Muster location. Once your finished with Mansfield follow the signs to either Goughs Bay or Mt Buller, drive about 4km out of Mansfield to you come to Mansfield airport. Turn right at Mansfield-woods point Rd travel along that Rd for 9.5km until you hit Piries-Goughs Bay Rd then follow that road for 7.3km and turn right at Walsh’s Rd and keep on that for 13kms and then you’ll be at Taylor’s. Those using google maps type in Taylors camping ground and select the Delatite arm location. There will also be flags out on trees etc if you get lost and the identity of these will be told closer to the date.
