Paradise Dam Campground
Last Updated Aug 2014 | Originally suggested by No-Mad
Commercial campground on the banks of Paradise Dam.
There are free gas barbecues, a picnic area, composting toilets and powered sites available.
There is a choice of two different camping areas, one right on the waters edge and the other higher up (hilltop sites).
There is a good quality concrete boat ramp and fish cleaning tables to make sure you are having Barra for dinner. There are also Bass and Yellow Belly in the Dam as well as Red Claw. No permits are required for fishing in the dam as it is not stocked.
They offer a "lazy camping" option here where they set up a tent for you before you arrive. All you need to bring is your bedding.
The kiosk sells all the basics, there is a playground for the kids and they also offer guided kayaking tours. This is one of the better, and friendliest dam camping areas I have been to.
