THERE is new reason to make the Lake Sambell Caravan Park your accommodation destination this autumn; the Indigo Epic Trail has opened and mountain bike enthusiasts can jump onto the trail via the swing bridge in the park.

The Indigo Epic Trail Mountain Bike Race will be held on Sunday, March 19 so make sure you've got your accommodation sorted out early... which is where your welcoming hosts, Roger and Sue from the Lake Sambell Caravan Park come in.

You can choose from fully self–contained ensuite cabins, all of which maximise views of the lake and park grounds as well as powered and unpowered campsites.

Pets are welcome all year round and are accepted in guests' own caravans and tents, as well as their seven designated pet–friendly cabins.

The park boasts a clean amenities block with laundry, clothes dryer and baby bath, undercover BBQ areas, playground, mini golf, volleyball court and a well–stocked kiosk.

Lake Sambell itself has a sandy beach area with a playground and BBQ areas and you can enjoy swimming or fishing in the lake or hire a canoe or kayak from the caravan park.
