Escape to the outback for caravan camping near Hillston and water sporting at Lake Cargelligo.
Going off-grid is just part of the Hillston caravan camping experience. This rural township in the wetlands of New South Wales features heritage buildings, a cotton gin, and a swinging bridge at Hughie Cameron Park. After exploring town, find pet-friendly powered and unpowered sites at campgrounds on the banks of Lachlan River, many equipped with toilets and showers. Wake up to a riverside view, then enjoy fishing, kayaking, and birdwatching by day and campfires in provided firepits at night. For lakeside views, drive the motorhome toward the three pet-friendly campsites at Lake Cargelligo, a popular spot in warmer summer temperatures for swimming and water skiing. Cooler spring and fall weather is ideal for fishing the lake for cod, perch, and redfin—making it a year-round destination. Unpowered lakefront sites include amenities like toilets, trash bins, and a covered BBQ area. Powered campsites can also be found nearby, typically with hot showers, shared BBQ areas, and a dump station.
