Lake Burrendong is about 28 kilometres from Wellington in New South Wales - turn onto Burrendong Way from the Mitchell Highway. The Park is located on the western shore of Burrendong Dam and is a great base to explore the local area. Lake Burrendong State Park is run by the Crown Holiday Parks Trust Board which helps communities plan for the sustainability of Crown Land throughout NSW
Redfin, catfish and Murray cod and Golden perch (yellow belly) can be caught while fishing in Lake Burrendong and yabbies are caught off the banks of the dam (if you are lucky). We visited Lake Burrendong during spring and discovered how popular this place was for boating - large boat ramps and parking areas allow easy access to the water.
Lake Burrendong offers a range of accommodation - cabins, as well as powered and unpowered sites for tents for caravans. This park is pet friendly and there is a kiosk on site where you can get hot food. Lake Burrendong State Park is quite large with plenty of space to find a private camping spot. There are a number of shaded picnic tables scattered around the edge of the dam to sit and enjoy lunch.
We will be heading back soon to stay for a few days in the caravan and try fishing and bush walking in this beautiful area - of course I will wait until the nights are a bit warmer.
