Welcome to Burralow Creek campground and picnic area, located in the Lower Grose Valley area of Blue Mountains National Park in Australia. This secluded haven is the perfect place to reconnect with nature, just a short 2-hour drive from Sydney.

Surrounded by native scribbly gums and a natural sandstone amphitheatre, Burralow Creek campground offers a peaceful and picturesque setting. Set up camp on the grassy grounds, and enjoy the tranquil sounds of the nearby creek.

This campground is a popular choice for families and groups of friends seeking a remote bush escape. With plenty of space for the kids to roam free, they can truly embrace the outdoors.

Gordon “Hawkesbury Campground” McDonald:

"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."

"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."

"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"

"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."
