Positioned on the pristine shores of the largest lake in southern New South Wales, BIG4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park offers a coastal holiday experience unlike any other on the Sapphire Coast. Located just five kilometres north of the vibrant fishing village of Bermagui, this park is a sanctuary for those who love the water, whether it be for boating, fishing, or simply watching the sunset over the Great Dividing Range. The park’s unique claim to fame is the on-site Camel Rock Brewhouse, a microbrewery and bistro housed in a historic building that allows guests to enjoy craft ales and gourmet pub fare without ever needing to leave the grounds.
The geography of the park is truly spectacular, nestled between the calm, tidal waters of Wallaga Lake and the rugged beauty of Camel Rock Beach. A short five-minute walk across the road leads you to some of the most iconic geological formations in Australia, including Horse Head Rock and the eponymous Camel Rock. These ancient sites provide a playground for snorkelling, rock pooling, and surfing, while the lake itself is a legendary spot for catching flathead, bream, and the famous local prawns. It is a location that perfectly caters to both high-energy adventure seekers and those looking for a quiet, contemplative escape into nature.
Accommodation at BIG4 Wallaga Lake is diverse and modern, designed to suit everyone from the luxury-seeking villa guest to the traditional tent camper. The park features a range of self-contained cabins with absolute lake frontage, providing panoramic views that are particularly breathtaking at dawn. For those travelling with their own home-on-wheels, the park offers spacious, level powered and unpowered sites, including dedicated pet-friendly areas. The facilities are top-tier, featuring a resort-style swimming pool, a jumping pillow for the kids, and a private jetty that serves as the perfect launching point for your lake adventures.
The surrounding region is rich in cultural and natural history. Guests can explore the nearby Montreal Goldfield for a glimpse into Australia’s only seaside gold rush or take a short drive to the historic National Trust villages of Central Tilba and Tilba Tilba. For those looking to hike, the sacred Gulaga Mountain offers a challenging but rewarding trek with views that stretch across the entire coastline. With its unique combination of boutique dining, absolute water frontage, and high-quality amenities, BIG4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park is not just a place to stay; it is a destination where the best of the Australian outdoors meets modern holiday comfort.
