Camping in Burrinjuck Waters

Or if your idea of relaxing is not doing much at all, then kick back on the lake’s foreshore and take in the abundance of serene natural beauty sprawling in every direction.

Accommodation options at Reflections Burrinjuck Waters

The huge array of nature and wildlife is what makes Burrinjuck dam camping so special, and this does mean that no dogs are allowed.

The park is home to 35 spacious, powered grass sites on compact earth that can accommodate six guests (up to four adults), giving campers a picture-perfect slice of serene paradise. The powered spots are suitable for set-ups of up to ten metres, so they’re great for camper trailers, caravans, campervans and tents, and all have sullage and grey water.

If you’re ready to unwind in nature further away from the park’s centre, there are 100 unpowered campsites scattered around the lake, with many close to the water. These sites can accommodate six guests (also up to four adults), and can fit set-ups of up to seven metres, making them ideal for tents, swags, camper trailers, campervans, motorhomes or caravans.

All sites have easy access to the park’s great facilities including amenity blocks, airy camp kitchens, laundries, playgrounds for the kiddos, undercover barbecue areas and so much more. There’s also a fully stocked shop for some camping essentials, treats such as ice creams and chips, and a huge array of standard food staples needed to whip up a quick and easy meal.

There are also two communal firepits so you can take your camp chair, a drink and some nibbles and hang out with some other people to do some good ol’ travel story swapping.

The nearest supermarket is in Yass, but the kiosk/shop sells hot food, some grocery items, firewood, ice, snacks, drinks, tea, coffee, and, importantly for all the fishers, fishing gear. Note there is no ATM in the park, so you’ll need to head to town if you want cash.

For those with lots of energy to burn, there’s bike riding trails, tennis, golf, frisbee and volleyball, with some gear for hire free of charge near the picnic area. When the kids are worn out, there are board games, books and DVDs available at the front desk, so you can all fit in some chill time.
