Sports and Recreation Facilities

Just 15 minutes from Warwick on the beautiful Southern Downs, Washpool campgrounds offer a beautiful bush setting campground on the banks of Leslie Dam.

Pitch a tent, bring your swag or tow your caravan – these campgrounds cater for all. If you want to enjoy the dam itself there are multiple options available – whether the adrenalin of water skiing and jet skiing or the challenge of chasing the mighty Murray cod and monster golden perch with rod and reel or even just a quiet paddle in your kayak or even a refreshing swim – this site caters for everyone.

The high-quality all-weather boat ramp at the dam makes access to the water as simple as possible.

As for the campsites themselves, choose between powered or unpowered and the very considerate caretakers will provide fire drums to assist with your open fire cooking needs. Washdown as well as full hot and cold showers and disabled facilities make this a very popular destination of choice for tourists to the region. Come for a day or stay for a week!

Please note that Council does operate this facility under a COVID Safe Plan and contact tracing and 10-metre restrictions on distances between campsites is enforced.
