The 2WD accessible sites feature spectacular views to the right, towards Mt Panorama and Mt Horrible and towards Mt Canobolas to the left.

Fish or swim in the river, ride your bikes, or set up camp and then head off on an adventure to the Goldfields at Ophir, or History Hill at Hill End via the Bridle Track. Better still, book into a pub crawl with Damo so you can lie back and enjoy the ride. There are plenty of opportunities for 4WDing and bushwalking in the local area. Fires are allowed (fire restrictions permitting). Wood can be collected from fallen wood around the property, or bring your own if you prefer. Pets are welcome for a one off fee per animal.

Platypus, water dragons and river rats all live in the river. Be prepared to share the site with wombats who have burrowed their homes into the banks. Road access to site is suitable for 2WD in dry weather. It is a short, steep drop with two tight corners not suitable for large caravans and RVs.

The best camping near Lake Burrendong State Park guide

Overview

About

Hugging the shoreline of massive Lake Burrendong, this park offers sweeping views of the human-made reservoir and is a popular base camp for watersports like sailing, canoeing, and water skiing. The Reflections Holiday and Caravan Park has two different locations within the park and a range of camping options. Hipcampers seeking creature comforts can stay in air-conditioned cabins, while those who want a back-to-basics bush experience can opt for powered or unpowered sites, many with lake and dam vistas. Kids love the playground and waterslide, and adults can play, too, at the nine-hole golf course.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Book cabins and campsites online at the Reflections Holiday Parks website.
  2. Summer holidays and Easter weekend tend to be the busiest times, so book well in advance to guarantee a spot.
  3. If you’re too late, join the holiday waitlist online to be notified in case a space opens up.

When to go

Summer is the best time to enjoy swimming and boating at Lake Burrendong, but it’s also the busiest time. Go during the shoulder seasons in late spring or early fall for mild weather with fewer crowds. Wintertime campers can enjoy more privacy while staying cozy in one of the cabins, but be prepared for rain. 

Know before you go

  • Unlike most NSW campgrounds, pets are welcome at the Reflections Holiday and Caravan Park. Call the park directly to book if planning to bring a furry friend. 
  • There is a fee to enter the park, even for day-trippers.
  • Water levels in the reservoir fluctuate based on the season and drought conditions.
  • Cabins can accommodate up to six people.
