Welcome to Reflections Copeton Waters, an expansive 900-hectare recreational haven nestled on the western slopes of the New England Ranges. Situated on the shores of the massive Copeton Dam, this park is three times the size of Sydney Harbour, offering unparalleled space for adventure, relaxation, and world-class freshwater fishing. Known as the “Murray Cod Capital of Australia,” Copeton Waters is a bucket-list destination for anglers, water sports enthusiasts, and families seeking a genuine Australian bush holiday in the Northern Tablelands of New South Wales.
Our holiday park is designed for those who love the great outdoors. Whether you are arriving with a massive 20-metre rig, a standard caravan, or a simple swag, we offer a diverse range of accommodation. Choose from 78 powered sites within easy reach of the main park hub, or find your own slice of paradise amongst our 300 unpowered bush camping sites scattered along the lake’s edge. For those who prefer a solid roof overhead, we provide deluxe cabins and budget-friendly bunkhouses. We are a dog-friendly park year-round on all our sites, meaning your four-legged mates can join the fun as you explore the thousands of acres of pristine bushland surrounding the clear, deep waters of the dam.
Beyond the water, Reflections Copeton Waters is packed with high-energy activities and quiet nature experiences. From our on-site 12-hole bush golf course and floodlit tennis courts to the thrilling waterslide and splash park, there is never a dull moment. Explore over 15 kilometres of dedicated mountain bike tracks, or take a peaceful stroll along the shoreline to spot native wildlife and unique flora. Located just 40 kilometres from the thriving regional centre of Inverell and an easy drive from Bingara, we offer the perfect balance of seclusion and accessibility. Experience the scale, the serenity, and the sheer adventure of the Central West at Reflections Copeton Waters. We look forward to seeing you at the dam.
