About

Located between Nelson Bay and Seal Rocks, Freshwater campground offers remote bush camping with pretty views across Two Mile Lake. The shallow waters and sandy beaches make it a perfect camping holiday for families with older children or backpack campers. Spend your days exploring the nearby walking and cycling trails or enjoy swimming and boating on the lake.

Pitch your tent, light a campfire and relax with a cup of tea as the kids swim and paddle in the lake's calm waters. Paperbark trees fringe the shoreline and the twisting angophora trees offer shade.

The charm of this campground is that it's tucked away from everything. But if you want to explore other parts of the park, hop in your boat and head to Mungo Brush campground where you can take the short stroll along Mungo Rainforest walk and stop for a barbecue lunch.

If you've got a few days and a bike in tow, ride some or all of the Mining Road to Old Gibber Road cycling trail. Then head back to your campsite to enjoy the stillness and beauty of the sunset over the lake.
