DLRA Camp

This is the DLRA camp. There are a number of relocatable buildings and storage containers. Members have constructed and installed water tanks, diesel generators, shower and toilet blocks. At the request of the Mt. Ive owners there is to be no further permenant structures. Competitors and their teams and regular visitors have purchased beds in semi-permenant structures.

For other race teams and spectators there is ample room for camping in motorhomes, caravans and tents on un-powered sites, with toilets and showers available. The camp is about 6 km's from the lake. No booking required and fees are payable to the DLRA ($10 per night and a $10 diesel levy, $60 for the week) at the merchandise van of the lake during Speed Week.
