Amazing spot for a getaway! Paddling in by kayak takes 3.5hrs and the views are stunning. Fire pits, clean toilets and a nearby trail to a lookout. No mobile reception but a great spot to watch the sunset. Be aware of golden orb weavers while walking, use a stick to keep them away!

Beautiful drive through Mulgoa and Wallacia with 12pm check in. Lovely spot to set up camp with fire pits and plenty of kindling. Hot showers and flushable toilets available. Spot kangaroos, kookaburras and ducks as you walk down the trail. Nearby lake with a rush of water through rocks into the lake. Pink and purple sky coming over the mountains in the morning. Unspectacular campground, but big and not crowded. Fires allowed. Waterville nearby for swimming. Lookout back over Sydney. Undercover area if weather bad. Kitchen with fridge for larger groups. Clean toilets and showers with hot water.
