Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Lake Macquarie State Conservation Area adventure.
With seven different pockets of state-preserved land dotted around the shore of Lake Macquarie, the Lake Macquarie State Conservation Area affords walking trails, lookout points, and scenic picnic spots right on the shores of the mighty lake. Whether you’re hiking around the lakeshore, cooling off at a white sand beach, or taking to the water to sail, water-ski, or stand-up paddleboard, Australia’s largest saltwater lake has a wide choice of activities. Camping isn’t permitted within the Lake Macquarie State Conservation Area, but you’ll find caravan sites at the neighboring Munmorah State Conservation Area close to the coast and holiday parks by the lakeside. Alternatively, check into a Hipcamp by the lake or in the surrounding countryside. Some sites provide simple grass campsites ideal for self-sufficient RVers looking to escape from it all, while others have powered sites and enough space for large caravans and motorhomes.
