The boat ramp at Thureau Hills, located in the Lake Burbury camping area on the eastern side of the bridge, is a convenient launch point for small boats. It’s a single-lane concrete ramp, easy to use, and paired with a jetty designed to accommodate varying lake levels. The area is popular for both camping and fishing, offering a peaceful setting surrounded by striking scenery.
The formal camping ground nearby is free to use and well-suited for camper trailers, caravans, motorhomes, and campervans. The site includes long-drop toilets, a shelter, and undercover picnic tables. While there are no bins, the grounds are clean and well maintained; just be prepared to take your rubbish with you. You’ll also need to bring your own water and firewood, as facilities are limited.
Access to the site is straightforward for all vehicle types, and there’s plenty of space for larger vans and caravans. The area is quiet and relaxed, ideal for a few days of camping and enjoying freshwater fishing. Lake Burbury itself offers good fishing, with healthy populations of both brown and rainbow trout.
