Relaxing Beautiful Location
The campground was super busy for Aus Day long weekend and we still managed to snag a great spot. The river is stunning and an extremely relaxing for swimming. Areas for fire were amazing and amenities very well kept. Easily accessible without four wheel drive although the road is dusty and watch out for potholes. We were greeted by the wildlife which included amazing peacocks and a resident wombat. Everyone there very respectful of curfew and were able to make friends with other campers. Staff were also super helpful and explained everything without any hassle. What a great place to unwind and switch off.

Very nice big open property - first in first served style for the good spots. The drive in to the property was unexpected, through a bit of a windy gravel road but once arrived it was amazing. Staff were friendly and helpful Swimming locations were very relaxing Lots of wildlife around

This was our first time at Coolendel and it was a great experience. The property is massive with no end of spots available to camp- with varying degrees of privacy. We chose to camp in “the burrows”. Our camp site was very private and spacious while being very close to one of the two large ammenities blocks. There was access to a fresh water river which was perfect for swimming and some friendly peacocks that roamed the camp grounds, showing off. The drive to reach Coolendel is about 11km of unsealed, winding, and quite narrow road. We were not aware of the driving conditions so were quite shocked by the drive. Amazing place to camp and we will definitely be back probably to stay for more than one night next time.

Lovely Camp Tucked out of the way.
Very Nice place to stay, Was a skinny dirt road to access the property but towing the 20ft caravan through there we didn't encounter any problems. It was busy but we managed to find a nice quiet spot. It was a nice walk down to the river and was very pleasant water with a strong flow with plenty of places to swim out of the current. There is a camp shop which looked to have lots of everything incase you forgot something. As it's very remote I'd highly recommend ensuring you have enough supplies for the entire time though. There was plenty of firewood for purchase. There was water onsite that we used for showering and washing up. We didn't run out of drinking water. Water was very clear and looks perfectly fine to drink.
