A great spot close to Sydney, with clean amenities, boat ramp and limited powered sites. Flushable toilets and hot showers, beautiful views of the lake, good for kids with playground and BBQ facilities. Must bring own water for caravans, also close to shops. Fantastic for kayaking or boating, and lots of birds. Extremely cold in winter. Definitely recommend!
