Burralow Creek campground and picnic area

Burralow Creek campground and picnic area is nestled beside Burralow Creek, in the Lower Grose Valley area of Blue Mountains National Park. Set up camp on the grass, surrounded by native scribbly gums and a natural sandstone amphitheatre.This peaceful spot is popular with families and groups of friends looking for a remote bush escape close to Sydney. There's plenty of space for the kids to roam free.From your tent, take an easy bushwalk past a convict-dug pit, along the creek and through a small rainforest gully to Bulcamatta Falls. The nearby Burralow peat swamps provide habitat for the nationally endangered giant dragonfly in summer, and keen birdwatchers should keep an eye out for the rare glossy black cockatoo.Cook up a barbecue feast for dinner and see if you can spot the nightlife, including swamp wallabies, sugar gliders, brushtail and ringtail possums, and several species of owl. Then settle in and watch the night sky fill with stars.

Great camping ground for family picnic, day trip or overnight camping which is only an hour away from Hills district. The Bulcanatta Falls is a 25 minute walk from camping grounds and it is so nice to cool down or take a shower under the waterfall. In terms of facilities, it only has two drop toilets.

Nice and ideal place for 1-2 day trip. Plenty of tree shades and firepits are literatelly everywhere. The camp ground is flat and big enough so that kids can enjoy cyclying and running around. 20 mins of easy bush walk to the waterfall and our 4 year old enjoied it.My family sedan managed the trip without any issue on the dry and sunny day, so I guess I dont have to spend a fortune to upgrade to a 4wd yet.

lovely camp site or just a days getaway ... nice walk to the waterfall.We parked and set up 'kitchen' and headed off to find that waterfall!It was worth it on a hot day, cooled off under the waterfall and nearby rock shelves..We past an ant hill listening to birds and nature. Other visitors and a carvedstone sleep out possibly by convicts. Crossed the new bridge and cooked up bacon, eggs, sausages on brioche buns with BBQ sauce. Could have slept off lunch but it was a day trip. Nissan Xtrail easily negotiated the fire trail back up the hill to Kurrajong Heights.Lovely day

Beautiful peaceful campsite. The drive down is pretty too. We had a clear night with absence of artificial light, so the Milky Way was beautiful.

We took our VW Van (low clearance, 2WD) down the pattersons range trail and it handled it fine. Most of the path is just a dirt track until near the end where it becomes quite steep and winds sharply. But we were fine, i guess if it rained heavily we would have had a problem but even then its not that bad. Just make sure you dont take the other route because apparently its much harder and you defo need 4WD.Lovely campsite, super peaceful. Unfortunately the waterfall was dry but it was a nice walk through the gum forest to get there.Would defo recommend and do not worry about the track

Beautiful spot for a few days camping. Lots of space, and it was great being able to have a fire. Two toilets which were clean and nice walk to the waterfall.Downside of a free campground 2 hours from Sydney is it can become a weekend party ground. The first night of our stay we had a very loud and rowdy group playing music until 3am and then they started again at 7am. They thankfully didn’t stay the entire weekend and it was a much more chilled vibe the Saturday night.On the second day coming back to the site we were stopped by a park ranger on road who advised us that road was 4x4 access only. We were in a 2WD SUV but there wasn’t much he could do given we were already camped. He said had it been wet recently we may have got stuck on the steep hill coming back out which is clay. NSW website says ‘4x4 recommended’. This could made clearer

Absolutely love this campground.There's a nice bushwalk to go on to see a small waterfall and some lovely scenery along the way.This is one of our favourite campsites for a quick weekend away in the Sydney area.It's not usually overcrowded and there are drop toilets that are kept relatively clean.It's also got a fair few fireplaces around the campgrounds which is nice in winter.Access is through a fire trail so 4wd is recommended but I've seen two wheel drive vehicles camping as well.
