Mt Somers Domain Camping Ground

05/03/2026

The following media realease was published by the ADC and outlines some of our next steps. We have a busy winter ahead coming up with a model that will be cost effective, and meet the needs of our campers and community. We will close for winter on April 12th and intend to reopen on 25th September this will see us open for Easter as usual.

The Mt Somers Domain campground will remain open until mid-April this year, but close over winter while the Mt Somers Reserve Board explores new ways of operating the facility.

We look forward to the pub across the road reopening tomorrow. Remember you can see the team at The Mount - Bar and Café to get 50 cent pieces for the showers. While you're there - why not stay for a drink and a bite to eat.

We’re excited to be reopening on Friday from 4pm. The bottle shop and bar will be running with bar snacks available. Thanks for all your support and patience, we look forward to seeing you soon 🥂🥂

The nights are getting cooler here in Mt Somers. We thank the Mt Somers Community Swimming Pool for an amazing season. The pool was a great place to hang out with friends and family over the summer. The Pool is closed now for the season.
If you are looking for a couple of nights away - why not message our caretaker Wendy on 0272052607 and check availability. Remember - we are a dog friendly camp ground. We just like our canine friends to be on leads.
