For anyone coming to Camp (or thinking about coming) there is plenty to do during the daytime, especially for those bringing kids.
Apart from the on-site swimming, canoeing, fishing, etc (bring your own canoes etc), and the local sights: Computer and Video Game Museum, Historic Gold sites, Sovereign Hill, Eureka Stockade, etc, there is also the Ballarat Show which is on Friday Saturday and Sunday. Ballarat is only 20 minutes away.
There is bush-walking at the back of the Camp, and General Stores within 5 minutes in both directions.
In Snake Valley is a Golf Course if you feel like a round.
