Guide to Buckenderra New South Wales Australia

Buckenderra is on the southern foreshore of Lake Eucumbene, about 45 km west of Cooma and a similar distance from Jindabyne. There is no town: the place consists of one large holiday park spread along the shore, in open country at about 1,200 metres.

Known For

• Trout fishing on Lake Eucumbene
• Lakeside cabins and camping
• Wide views over the water

Things To Do in Buckenderra

Buckenderra Holiday Village has about eight kilometres of lake frontage and its own concrete boat ramp. The Buckenderra arm is one of the most productive parts of the lake for brown and rainbow trout, by fly, lure or bait, and boats can be hired. Kangaroos graze through the park, and the birdlife on the water is good.

Away from the fishing, this is a place for doing little. The night skies are dark and clear, and in winter the park is a quiet alternative to the ski towns, about an hour from the snow.

Where To Stay

The holiday village has cabins, powered and unpowered sites and a kiosk. It is the only accommodation here.

The nearest towns are Berridale, Adaminaby and Cooma.

Eat & Drink

The kiosk sells basics. Bring everything else with you.
