*LAKE MOOGERAH CAFE*
The all new, Lake Moogerah Cafe, located at Haigh Park, a 5 minute drive from the caravan park will be opening its doors towards the end of September, 2010 and will offer delicious light meals and superb coffee, as well as burgers, fish+chips and snacks.
For today's weather and weekly forecast go to:-

Waterskiing:
Yes, yes, yes! If you're a first time visitor to Moogerah, please be careful to observe the correct rotation when skiing or jetskiing. You must travel in an anti-clockwise direction and always give way to boats dropping skiers into shore. Skiing is a lot of fun, but it can be deadly if people are careless or don't observe the rules. Make sure you do your bit to keep Moogerah safe. If you witness any unsafe or foolhardy action on the water, please note the boat registration number and name and report to the caretaker for further action.

Comments:
WE URGE ALL CAMPERS TO BE MINDFUL OF THE PRIVILEGE IT IS TO CAMP ON THE LAKE AND TO SHOW RESPECT FOR THE FACILITY BY KEEPING CAMPSITES CLEAN OF RUBBISH AT ALL TIMES AND DISPOSING OF ALL RUBBISH CORRECTLY BEFORE LEAVING THE SITE.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT BECAUSE IF THIS RULE IS NOT ADHERED TO, THEN CAMPING ON THE LAKE WILL BE REGULATED BY SEQWATER AND COULD BE SEVERELY RESTRICTED.
IT HAS HAPPENED!! Seqwater have advised that they now require a 75 metre setback from the water's edge for all camping. Implementation of this rule is still being worked out. This considerably reduces our campground which is already affected due to the current rise in water level. At 100% capacity the setback rule is 20 metres. Seqwater will review the rule in 12 months. We would like to thank everyone who signed the Petition over the past 2 months. This will be used in our efforts to appeal for some common sense.

*******************************************************
Lake Moogerah Caravan Park is a family friendly destination. In order to ensure the safety and enjoyment of our guests the following camping policy has been implemented:-
CAMPING POLICY -
Due to an increase in anti-social behaviour, and an increase in the incidence of rubbish, bottles and cans being left in and around campfires, Management reserves the right to request a $20 PER PERSON CASH BOND before a camping permit will be issued.
This bond also relates to the 10PM NOISE CURFEW
Our rules are simply common sense rules designed to preserve a family friendly environment. A detailed list is contained on the reverse of every camping receipt issued.
ON DEPARTURE: Customers required to pay a bond must check-out at the office. Your site will be inspected and provided there is no breach of rules the bond will be refunded in full.
PLEASE NOTE: The bond is charged per person but is a SITE BOND. There will be no part payment of bond. I.E. If there are 4 people on a site - the bond value is $80. Any breach of rules wil result in full loss of bond.
IF YOU PLAN TO PARTY INTO THE WEE HOURS - DON'T COME TO MOOGERAH!!!
DRUNKEN, ANTI-SOCIAL BEHAVIOUR WILL NOT BE TOLERATED!!

BOOKINGS - BOOKINGS - BOOKINGS -
We will now be taking bookings for unpowered campsites. This will guarantee you a spot in the campground but it will still be first in, best dressed as far as position goes.
Reviews If you have visited Lake Moogerah recently, it would be good to have some feedback via the Review facility on the website or alternatively by email. All emails are welcomed and receive a reply.

Permanent Holiday Cabin News:
It would be appreciated if cabin owners would ensure that family and guests using their cabins are familiar with the rules and abide by them. If you have an overflow of visitors staying overnight, they are NOT permitted to camp around your cabin which includes sleeping in cars. As they are guests using our amenities and facilities, they are required to check-in and pay for their stay. We would very much appreciate your respect for this rule.
MASTER PLAN - Still no indication from the Council as to how this process is coming along. Meetings have occurred between Seqwater, DERM and SRRC so hopefully some news will be forthcoming soon.
Please feel free to lodge any queries, suggestions or solutions you may have, to me via this website.
