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
- Book cabins and campsites online at the Reflections Holiday Parks website.
- Summer holidays and Easter weekend tend to be the busiest times, so book well in advance to guarantee a spot.
- 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.
