Camp by the Water at Bowling Alley Point Recreation Reserve Set on the picturesque shores of Chaffey Dam, just 40 minutes from Tamworth, Bowling Alley Point Recreation Reserve is a spacious damside campground perfect for everything from tents and camper trailers to large caravans and motorhomes. With plenty of grassy campsites spread along the water's edge, you'll have room to relax, enjoy the views, and make the most of this beautiful destination. Many sites offer direct access to the dam, making it easy to launch a kayak, cast a fishing line, or simply enjoy a swim on a warm day. If you're bringing a boat, you can often pull it up right in front of your campsite after a day on the water. For those seeking a little more privacy, follow the campground tracks away from the main amenities to discover secluded campsites nestled around the reserve. Cattle may occasionally graze within parts of the reserve.
