I’ve been camping at bulwagga bay seasonally for a few years. Very quiet and comfortable and very clean! The camp managers and support staff are also wonderful. There are a lot of activities and things to do.

Very bike-friendly campsites, with a lean-to that we put our bikes in snuggly for the night. Restrooms were clean and showers had good temperature and pressure. Slept right next to the water, we saw a family of Canada geese, a grand heron, cute bats and even a beaver on his morning swim. Big shout-out to Chet the campground manager for helping us with our campfire as we arrived late and exhausted from a day of climbing hills with our loaded bikes! Thank you! Also great view of the lake from the camping beach.

Was just there for a memorial service for my uncle, who recently passed away and had a camp up here for years and years. My cousins had a bench made as a memorial, in hopes that people would stop by and take a rest on it. Everyone we came across was super kind, staff snd campers. I would definitely consider camping here with my family for sure.
