Burralow Creek Campground And Picnic Area

Burralow Creek campground and picnic area are 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 small 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 watch 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 owl species. Then settle in and watch the night sky fill with stars.
