The rail trail is flat and straight for slot if the time but close to little river it winds around the lake.
Shade from sun and if you are lucky there's no lake flys. You can start in little river and if you stay the campground is 4km from the start. Nice and easy but depends on the wind. Enjoy.

Right beside the road so lots of traffic.
It can get dodgy with hogan's and their cars. For peace of mind spend the money and stay at the south Brighton motorcamp. Support businessed like this or they'll close.

A lovely quiet camp backing onto the river and lake.
Facilities are good with power and water for each site. Ask to use the kayaks, we had a nice time watching sunset from them. Friendly hosts and we can highly recommend possum lodge.

This area is for self contained campers only.
There can be millions of lake flies so watch out and don;t leave lights on. How about supporting the local campground which is open from 12 October. It is $15 but you'll have a nicer experience, free wifi, hot showers and recycling.
