Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Lake Glenbawn State Park adventure.
A gem of Upper Hunter Country, this lakeshore retreat is a fishing hot spot and family getaway.
Filled with bass and yellow perch, the human-made Lake Glenbawn is considered one of the best freshwater fishing sites in New South Wales. The expansive reservoir is also the perfect spot for other water sports like boating and waterskiing, or simply taking in the stunning lake views from scattered camping sites on the eastern foreshore. Most campers stay at the Lake Glenbawn Reflections Holiday and Caravan Park, where options range from fully equipped cabins and villas to powered caravan sites and unpowered pads right on the beach. The park is a big hit with kids thanks to several playgrounds, a recreation center, and a pool in summer.
Spring and autumn bring fewer crowds and ideal weather for lounging by the lakeshore. If visiting in May, head to the nearby village of Scone to catch the annual Scone Horse Festival, featuring a rodeo, carnival, and concerts. Or get into the Scottish spirit at the Aberdeen Highland Games, celebrated each July.
