Echo Point Campsite
Echo Point Campsite
Echo Point Campsite sits directly on the shores of Lake St Clair within Cradle Mountain–Lake St Clair National Park, roughly 10 kilometres from the visitor centre at Cynthia Bay.
The site is a well-known stop on the Overland Track and can be reached either by walking from Narcissus or via a short ferry ride from Cynthia Bay.
A historic timber hut built in 1962 stands nearby, set among myrtle and sassafras forest that sweeps down from the slopes of Mt Olympus to the water's edge. Campers pitch tents on soft sandy ground beside the lake, with views across the water toward Mt Ida.
Metal storage bins are provided next to the hut for food and pack storage. The old jetty offers a quiet spot to rest and take in the scenery, and the calm alpine lake is occasionally used for swimming.
The surrounding forest trail back to Cynthia Bay — a three-to-four-hour walk — passes dense moss-covered logs, boardwalks, ferns, and fungi, making the campsite a natural base for exploring this southern end of the national park.
