Curlew Camp – Birds and Fishing is a 2.5 acre property with full lake frontage to beautiful Curlew Waters. 

WHERE - Curlew Waters is one of the three lakes in the Lake Cargelligo area.  An “Oasis in the Outback” the wetland system is channeled by the Lachlan River. Lake Cargelligo is a 10 minute drive from your location at "Curlew Camp" offering services such as fuel station, supermarket, bakery, pubs, clubs, chemist and hardware store.

Curlew Waters is the deepest of the lakes and offers a beautiful yet quiet location for your leisure including Kayaking, Swimming, Fishing and Birdwatching.  Just an ideal spot to relax in general. 

What can you do at Lake Cargelligo??? EXPLORE! Explore the waters on the kayaks … fishing … birding or just for fun. The lakes are all connected and if you’re up for an exciting challenge there’s no better way to explore the beautiful scenery than on a kayak! For anyone less energetic - no worries! Beautiful views right out front and no need to go anywhere!

BIRDS - Wake up early and enjoy stunning sunrises and listen to the tunes of nature.  Enjoy views of birds out in the water such as fishing Pelicans, Great Crested Grebes and Great Egret. In the summer jump in your kayak and scan the willow trees for Nankeen night heron or paddle up the channel to see Rainbow Bee-eaters. In the Gum trees, salt bush and lignum areas watch out for Mallee Ringneck, Apostlebirds, Grey-crowned Babbler and Purple-backed Fairywren. Listen out for exciting birds that sometimes fly overhead: Cockatiels, Superb Parrots and Major Mitchell’s Cockatoo!!!

At Curlew Camp you will find a grassed area with full lake frontage. Yes FULL! At least 50m of shoreline to enjoy!! The block can only be booked by one person or group at a time but please keep in mind there may be other people out on the water skiing or fishing or camping next door. The boundaries are fenced but please be aware if you have small children the channel of water is not fenced and fronts the entire western side of the block. This of course can be great for fishing!! 

FISH - The property is situated right at the mouth of the channel that feeds from Curlew Waters into Lake Cargelligo, so if you are a fisherman you can float out on the water in your boat or just throw a line out front. We have uploaded photos of fish caught in the lake for your enjoyment: please note we do promote catch & release and all native fish photographed were returned unharmed. Fish in the lake include Murray Cod, Golden and Silver Perch, Redfin, Catfish and European Carp.

There are no amenities available at the campsite so campers are required to be FULLY self-contained and leave no trace (there are R.V dump points at Lake Cargelligo). A campfire is permitted but ONLY in the allocated fire pit (please follow local fire ban regulations) and a wheelie bin is provided for your convenience (please put all rubbish in bin and not in the firepit). 

The short driveway into the block is dirt so road conditions vary depending on weather conditions. After heavy rain access is 4WD only. Pets are allowed but please keep your furry friends on a lead at all times and discard any waste.  

So come along, bring your kayak or just use ours (2 available and we can have them waiting for you on the banks!) Bring your camera or your binoculars or just a comfy chair and sit back and enjoy the serenity!!

*Minimal phone reception - usually one bar of service depending on conditions.

*Self check in and check out - please follow the online directions.

*Enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!!!
