Curlew Camp - Birds & Fishing
Such a pleasure to visit again. A beautiful site with great facilities and birdlife. The composting toilet and shelter add some luxury to camping and the waterside location is peaceful and very scenic and also convenient to town. The bird hides on the owner's property are terrific too!

Curlew Camp - Birds & Fishing
We spent Easter at this wonderful camp ground. The site was easy to find, and nestled along Curlew Waters around 15km outside Lake Cargelligo. The site was found grassy, with a stand of lakeside gums providing some shade, plus enough space to park up for solar generation. The pergola has a new gas BBQ, matting, clothes horse, tables and chairs and some deck chairs.
The compost toilet provides a a waterless, nil smell technology that enhanced our experience. Five nights and didn't fill our toilet cassette.
2.5ha to explore, along with kayaks for paddling on the Lake.
Our hosts were very friendly and checked in with us to ensure our experience is pleasant.
This is a gem on the edge of the NSW outback. There's plenty to do, including bird watching, fishing, walking, relaxing and enjoying the local hospitality.

Curlew Camp - Birds & Fishing
We visited Curlew Camp with two other families and we all had an absolutely lovely time here. Excellent facilities- undercover area, BBQ, some tables provided, kayaks and the composting toilet. We will definitely visit again. Great communication from Rebecca in the lead up and whilst we were there. We really appreciated her efforts in ensuring we had a great stay. Thank you 😊

This spot was great! Super private, easy to find and well maintained.
The eco-bathroom was super clean and the undercover area was super homie feeling.
Definitely tell it has a woman's touch!
Our dogs loved swimming and running around crazy, fenced area so no stress about them running off.

Really beautiful lakefront site. Lots of supplied items to make your stay more comfortable ( bbq, toilet, potable water , clothes hanger , tables and comfy chairs). Set your tent up under the huge awning. Lake right there to cool off in during the day and kick back at night and stargaze at incredible night sky. Bec and Sandy lovey and friendly hosts. It’s also a birdwatchers dream with easy access to some great mallee hotspots and two awesome bid hides available to hire right next door

Neil and I have just spent 4 amazing glamping nights in hosts, Rebecca and Sandy’s ‘super comfortable’ caravan located on their property in banks of Curlew Waters.
The terrific , modern van I was very spacious and welcoming! It has a double bed, eating area, bathroom with a shower and other amenities, a fully kitted out kitchenette, and good storage. There’s a great undercover outdoor living space with a bbq area and comfortable chairs for gazing at that very hypnotic view of the lake and big starry night skies and the most magnificent sunrises and sunsets you could ever hope to see!
There is a really well looked after, immaculate composting toilet with the best view of the lake😀!
This was a return trip for us and as before, Bec and Sandy were the best hosts! Helpful, knowledgeable and so happy to share info about the local area.
We’re keen birders and, for a small additional fee we were able to book the hides that Bec and Sandy have built on various locations on their property. We think that these are some of the best located hides we’ve ever used and honestly the bird life is astounding! These hides should not be missed if you’re a keen birder you’ll be blown away! We were!
And although we didn’t, I know you can use kayaks on the lake as well as have a great fishing experience!
We have always loved the serenity of Curlew Camp and glamping there just took it to a whole other level! Can’t wait to return!

Second visit to this camp and didn't disappoint. Beautiful spot with wide water frontage and a massive site. Now has everything a good site needs. Toilet, shelter and rubbish disposal. There is even a water tank to make use of any rainfall.
There are fish to be caught and a huge variety of birdlife. Just a great place to camp

We had a beautiful camp at Curlew Camp. It was very peaceful and a beautiful sunset. And we were very lucky to see a Rakali swim close by to the shore. 👍 hoping to return sometime in the future with the grandchild.

It's a beautiful spot on the lake, with its own beach and little woods full of birds. The camping setup was basic but spot on, with shelter, fireplace, water, wood delivered as an option extra, and gorgeous views. Its also much more private than the free camps - a great option for a stopover or a holiday base in its own right.

We are fairly experienced hip campers, and Curlew Waters is totally on the top shelf. From excellent directions, clear signage, to a mountain of firewood waiting for us, we just loved it. A great break from a busy week, we just itched to get the camera out and soak in the tranquility. Thank you so much for having us, loved this beautiful place.

We loved our stay at Curlew Hip Camp it was so relaxing and the bird life was exceptional.One of the best things that attracted us was the huge undercover area,having some fresh water from a tank and firewood supplied for a fire on arrival was fantastic.

Curlew Camp - Birds & Fishing
The owner was very kind and friendly to us and very responsive during communications. Real delight to deal with. They had left a nice booklet for us to browse through and get briefed on the town and the nature around the campsite.
The site is rough enough to make it fun and all about the wilderness but has some comforts like a rainwater tank, and a very nice sturdy shelter.
Lastly for the nature itself - nothing less than amazing. When we were there, there were a lot of beached fish from the cold waters I guess. The birds were feasting and we had a delightful spot right in the middle of it all. Our dog loves guarding the territory and playing around with the dead fish.
The kayaks are awesome too, add a bit of something to do whilst we were there.
Very good experience. More than what we expected, very reasonable costs too. Couldn't ask for better.

Great place to stay close to Lake Cargelligo but private and serene. Good fishing and abundant bird life with amazing night skies. Level site close to the water, heaps of room, easy access and the shelter was a bonus. Highly recommended.

Curlew Camp - Birds & Fishing
WOW! A highlight of our trip. A beautiful, large, flat grassy site next to the beautiful Curlew Waters. The permanent shelter was great for shading us from the afternoon sun. The bins and water tank are an awesome addition to making your stay more comfortable. We loved using the free kayaks to kayak out on the Curlew Waters and enjoying an afternoon swim with our dogs - the entrance being easy and water temperature beautiful. Close to town for essentials. Perfect for self contained campers looking for relaxation or bird watching!

A little oasis! Such a great place to camp. We loved our time at Curlew Camp. The kids were kept busy kayaking, fishing and swimming. We will definitely be back.

Second time camping at Curlew. Having the skillion is a bonus from either the rain or heat. Water from the lake is great for showering and tank water, as a backup, if necessary.
We're not many skiers or fisher folk this year, all are friendly and give you a wave on their way past.
Have booked again for 2026 as it doesn't get much better than this.
