We have powered and un-powered lawn sites and river sites for caravans, camp trailers, boats and tents. Accommodation is also available with shearer quarters, cabins and self-contained cottages.
'Rose Isle' is a great central spot for day trips to hike and visit Mt Gundabooka National Park, Toorale National Park, and nearby historic towns Louth, Tilpa, Cobar and Bourke.
