#7 Lake Eckersley campground

4 Ratings

This secluded, serene spot is perfect for a quick escape from the city. It's a one-hour walk from Heathcote Train Station, and you'll need to bring all your own supplies as there's no water or toilets. Take a dip in the chilly lake if you dare! The actual campsite is 200 meters northwest of the lake's edge. Multiple visits have been made and it's a great place to relax and get back to nature.

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.

Clean toilets and showers with hot water.
