Escape to the Burraga Dam Camping Area, a scenic hidden gem located on Burraga Dam Road in Burraga, NSW 2795. Set within the Central Tablelands, this expansive camping area offers a serene waterfront experience on the edge of the historic dam. Originally built to service the local copper mine, the dam has since become a premier destination for those seeking a quiet bush getaway with plenty of space for tents, caravans, and camper trailers.
The dam is a well-known spot for recreational fishing, particularly for trout and redfin, while the surrounding bushland is a haven for birdlife and native wildlife. The campground provides a "back-to-nature" feel but includes convenient amenities such as flushing toilets, picnic shelters, and wood-fired BBQs (bring your own wood). Its proximity to the historic Lloyd Copper Mine ruins makes it an excellent choice for those interested in regional heritage. Whether you are launching a kayak on the calm waters or enjoying a sunset by the dam, Burraga offers a refreshing high-country camping experience.
