Swan Lake Campground is a campground in Discovery Bay Coastal Park, reservable through Parks Victoria. Set amongst a significant coastal dune system, Swan Lake is a small campground with five campsites that can accommodate a maximum of six people at each site. The public gravel road is well maintained and accessible to 2WDs, however there is a steep descent into the park and campground. Visitors towing a trailer or caravan will need a 4WD vehicle. The vehicle track through the park from Swan Lake campground to the beach is only accessible with 4WD. Vehicles are not permitted to leave the vehicle track to access the coastal dune system. Vehicles are not permitted to drive on the beach. The campground is accessible to hikers along the Great South West Walk. All campsites are unpowered and are suitable for one camper-trailer or a medium sized tent, and bookings are required in advance. There are non-flushing toilets, shared picnic tables and shared fireplaces available. Campfires are only allowed in the designated fireplaces and you need to supply your own firewood - firewood collection is prohibited. Bore water is available but is not suitable for drinking - supply your own. It lists 5 bookable sites across Camp (5). Recent rates read around $16.90 a night for the stays checked. Popular dates here go early: the busiest holiday and long-weekend nights are often fully reserved well before the trip, and once a date fills the reservation system simply shows no availability for it at all. After that point the usual way to get a site is a cancellation. When a booked party changes plans their site is released back into the system and briefly becomes available again, frequently at an awkward hour and often taken within minutes by whoever happens to be looking. grabio watches Swan Lake Campground on a fixed one-minute schedule and compares what is bookable now against the previous check. The moment a site matching your dates opens, whether from a cancellation or from newly released inventory, it alerts you so you can book it yourself on the official Parks Victoria system. It never books, holds, or reserves anything on your behalf; it only tells you the instant a spot appears, so you are not left refreshing a booking page by hand late at night. Alerts go out by email by default, with optional Telegram and text messages, and a watcher can cover an exact set of dates or a flexible window, so you only hear about openings that fit the trip you are actually planning. Because grabio only ever reads the public reservation system, it sees exactly what Parks Victoria shows, and it keeps watching until a matching site opens or your dates pass. Nightly fees, site restrictions, vehicle and equipment limits, and the current booking window are set by Parks Victoria and shown on the official page for Swan Lake Campground.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the cancellation alert for Discovery Bay Coastal Park - Swan Lake Campground work?
Grabio polls the Parks Victoria reservation system roughly every minute and compares the available sites against the previous check. The moment a spot opens at Discovery Bay Coastal Park - Swan Lake Campground, often a last-minute cancellation, a email alert goes out right away, so nobody has to keep refreshing the booking page by hand.
How fast does an alert arrive after a cancellation?
Scans run continuously on a one-minute cycle, so an alert typically lands within a few minutes of a site opening at Discovery Bay Coastal Park - Swan Lake Campground. The exact delay depends on when Parks Victoria itself reflects the change on its own reservation system, since Grabio only reads what that system already shows.
What happens if nothing opens up before my trip?
Grabio only watches: it never books, holds, or pays on your behalf. If no cancellation appears before your stay date, the watcher just keeps running until then, and you can also check the Parks Victoria site directly for standard availability.
