We talk a lot about our Bucket List destinations around Australia. Places that we have handpicked as worthy of a spot on your travel list. Places we know you will love for many reasons.
And sometimes, our Bucket List nominations are not just a destination – they are an experience.
At BIG4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park on the New South Wales South Coast, we had an experience.
This was not just a place to stay. It was a destination in itself. Sure, it was surrounded by amazing-ness. Bermagui. World-class game fishing, Wineries, Camel Rock Beach, the Blue Pool, and the endless sandy beaches of the Sapphire Coast.
But, it’s location on the immense inland Wallaga Lake, its proximity to the above locations, its amazing hospitality and magnet-like attraction for like-minded travellers, PLUS the fact that it could be the only Holiday Park on the planet with it’s very own on-site brewery, has put BIG4 Wallaga Lake on the list for us.
Steve Watson, owner of the Holiday Park and pioneer of the Camel Rock Brewery (and restaurant) which shares the land, has created an experience based on what he looks for when he goes on holiday. Facilities for the whole family, activities galore – most of which make the absolute most of the incredible lake on the parks doorstep – and of course, the brewery. A place to meet, relax, enjoy the company of both locals and Holiday Park guests, get a great meal (and save cooking one yourself), listen to some live music, and of course, enjoy the local brew.
And it’s Steve’s passion and genuine interest in offering an ‘experience’ to each of his guests that seems to be the winning formula. The result is a true blue, Aussie accommodation experience that offers the best of the location to everyone who stays here.
Don’t just take our word for it though, the video speaks for itself.

Let us know in the comments below what you think makes BIG4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park Bucket List-worthy!
Anywhere with its own brewery cannot be all that bad
Is this Heaven or what. What a great designation for one of the best bucket list locations in NSW. I can’t wait to read the Australia’s Ultimate Bucket List book, to see what other locations we should go to in this Great Australian nation.
Honest, unpretentious, wholesome getaway with so much available to enjoy. It looks like the opportunity to step out of the rat race and be in touch with nature.
We love to go to the big Wally we kayak and we fish
But now there is another thing a beer and tasty dish
It’s got it all for camping just resting or for play
And your welcome for a fortnight or even a day.
So if you are really in need and want that special break
Just head to the big Wally and the beer house for a steak
Makes me want to pack and go tomorrow
It has so much going for it. The beauty of the surrounds, modern looking villa’s, jetty to the little island, pelicans swimming close by, it’s own restaurant and the beer.
I just love the concept of an Australian micro-business which promotes the local economy, provides jobs to local people and gets everyone back involved with their community! Congratulations on a visionary job well done.
on the bucket list for me would be to take my beautiful wife on holiday we have been together for 51 years been married for 44 years and have never had the chance to take my wife on a honeymoon, as she is sick at the moment I would dearly like to add it to my bucket list
You know, you do the right thing by the wife and kids, they are all happy campers, and Dad can slip in a few quiet ones as well!
Family friendly and lots of room for the kids to play.
I love the fact Wallaga Lake Holiday Park caters for everyone. And, my dad is a huge collector of beer cans and brewery paraphernalia and would love to add this place to his bucket list. He travels far and wide to meet other beer enthusiasts so it is definitely a bucket list winner for him. My own family look for getaways within a few hours from our base in Canberra, each year so this will definitely be on my list next March. Thanks for sharing the video.
Would be a wonderful surprise for my son – they have their own van and love to travel and to stay where there is a brewery would be his dream come true! I would give him the book after reading thoroughly myself as I too love to travel this great country – Wallaga Lake brings back memories of my daughter trying to water ski there many years ago
How absolutely Aussie is that Big4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park, giving families the chance to fish, enjoy the lake, eat seafood, chill and sit back enjoying the on-site brewery and restaurant. A definite tick off for the bucket list!!
The Big4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park certainly earns the Big4 List-worthy title.
1. Bermagui
2. Blue Pool
3. Bluefin
4. Beer!
What’s not to love? God’s own country – now served up with the nectar of the gods!
Steve you’ve got me! All my favourite things in one place – family, fun, oysters, beer, clear blue water. Australian of the year nominee right there!
Love the concept. Typical Australian way to have a holiday with friends and family.
Bermagui – Beaches – Bush – Biking – Boating – BBQ – Boutique Beer – Brewery – Brilliant.
Location, location, location!!! With all the benefits of Big4 ‘accreditation’
I dont have a Bucket List to tick off uinfortunately. Love to dream, but circumstances prevent these dreams turning into reality and experiencing them.
I need to go to Wallaga, it seems like a place I’d dreams.
I’m going to put on the top of my list to swim in that pool.
WOW, what fantastic fun !!!, I now have a new number 1 on my bucket list, ( that is to stay at the Big4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park,), all my favourite things in one location, nature, fishing, water sports, fresh produce, wine ,cheese, so much family fun in one place, the list is endless, & a brewery named after my favourite animal the camel, (Camel Rock Brewery) it just could not get any better !!!, our bags are packed, where on our way !!!.
Pretty much an an all inclusive holiday. You could just settle in for a few days and never have to go anywhere. Always love a destination where you can park the car and forget about till you leave. Essentially it’s a resort but with the layback family friendly feel of a quality holiday park. I will definitely be adding it to my list.
Ps. Don’t send me a bucket list book I already have it. Thanks and keep up the good work.
The on site Camel Rock Brewery is a must stop and try destination. A lovely park with friendly/helpful staff and did I mention the ice cold local brewed beer. Its worth a trip around Australia just to stop there.
Near to everything you would want to see on a holiday and the facilities is beyond great!
Big4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park has the ultimate wow factor. A brewery in the park alongside all the things on our bucket list , the serenity,fishing,seafood,wineries,and that beautiful ocean scenery. Love it..
The brewery makes this family vacation fun and bearable. The beer will numb the pain of screaming kids!
beer, sun, beach, friends, fishing…Aussie Aussie Aussie Oi Oi Oi
Honey. We don’t need a Plan B.
Something for everyone, everyday that loves to live life to the full at Big4 Wallaga Lake.
Swimming then sculling at the waterhole
Canoe then cool down with a beer ( or two)
Fishing then frolic in the bar
water skiing then wet your whistle
seafood and sip an ale
dive then down few local brews
surfing then swig a lager
beachcombing then buy a round with mates
What more can be o a bucket list? enjoy nature, friends and a good brewery!
–
Well all my sons in laws would be happy to take the families there, something for everyone
With them winner with th e brewery
just reading and I was straight onto web site to check out cost
Fantastic prices for what reads to be an amazing location
On my bucket list for later in the year
Well the book looks good, the park looks fantastic… would need to find a free weeks worth of van site in the book if I win so I can tick it off the bucketlist.
Somewhere both the adults and kids can have fun!
Big 4 Wallaga Caravan Park looks like heaven on earth! Can’t wait to go there 🌴🌈🚣♂️⛱
A really Aussie and unigue experience . Blends culture and responsible drinking in one..no driving..Family friendly, beautiful experience for all ages. Amazing to find, hard to leave.
He is a great man. What a brilliant idea to have a brewery and restaurant at a holiday park where all the people can get together and enjoy each others company, socialize and participate in the activities Steve is so thrilled to tell us all about. Good work Steve!
A place for adventure and fun, to meet new people and be with family and friends and create many, memorable moments.
nothing beats meeting new people in a special park setting. this place has to be on every ones bucket list. its on mine
Good looking beach
The Seafood looks pretty delicious!
Sounds like a fabulous location. What a smart idea to have activities and experiences IN the park – no need for patrons to have a designated driver or taxi, kids have plenty of options to amuse themselves while the adults indulge in a beer tasting or coffee and locally sourced food. It sounds absolutely perfect for us motorcyclists who like to enjoy the ride to a destination and then have everything within walking distance so we can leave all our “clobber” in the cabin. At Big 4 Wallaga Lake, we would have it all on our doorstep.
Wallaga Lake oozes fun and beauty. Refreshment for the body and soul. Live music is a definite attraction for me.
What a awesome place too stay, looks dream come true??????!!!!!
Beer and a bouncing pillow – what could possibly go wrong? Add seafood and sun-kissed sands, and it’s almost worth leaving my beloved Tasmania for! Hitch her up!
What an amazing place for a family holiday destination. It has it all… the beach, the bush wonderful facilities and the beer! How Aussie is that? I can’t wait!
“Powered or unpowered” has now become “brewery or no brewery”.
The answer of course is always the park with the brewery!
BIG4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park Bucket List-worthy because of it’s incredible scenery
Walking, swimming, history and perfect place for the family
No need to go out can enjoy an inhouse meal
then beers from brewery seals the deal
Reading this description makes me want to go there right now and I have been to Bermagui but didn’t know about any of these great things to see and do
A Holiday Park should be an holiday, not a chore and with all this going on, this place is just that for friends, families, young and old. Only problem would be having time to fit it all in! Seems to be a true Aussie location, with sea, sun, water and beer!
I watch placewego regularly and did see that one about BIG4 WALLAGA LAKE HOLIDAY PARK THOUGHT WHAT A GREAT PLACE to put a brewery in the park, plus all the normal things you find at a beach holiday eg water sports, boating swimming and many more this par kis credit to Steve and his team cant wait to put Wallaga on our holiday list.
A Holiday Park with a Brewery there is nothing more to say.
Nothing more Australian than travelling and having a beer 👍🍺
Wallaga Lake Holiday Park has something for everyone. A perfect setting to relax or get involved in activities galore. Why would you want to leave!!
Omg beautiful beautiful beautiful I’m comming this is Australia Aussie Aussie Aussie 🍺🍺🍺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺
It is so fun to hear about places like this that are quirky and different, who wouldn’t want to add this to their bucket list. We will definitely be heading there! AUSTRALIA IS THE BEST!!
This park looks so great, everything there to have heaps of fun and just chill with a freshly brewed drink with awesome surroundings. Bucket list worthy for sure.👍🏻😃
“Eat, pray, love”. Who needs to leave Australia when we have our own beautiful destination right on our doorstep.
Top of the Bucket List-worthy and let’s go, it’s for everyone.
Sunshine, community, fresh air, food, beer on tap, wine, a cool place to stay and loads of outdoor adventures……..if you don’t want to go, maybe check your pulse
Wow what can l say.. Yes definitely this Big 4 is on our Bucket List jam packed with all the things both my fiancee and myself love to be immersed in..
Sea side, Fishing, Wineries not to mention a Brewery… and owners that take pride in wanting you to enjoy a wonderful Holiday.. 😁
Bermagui was one of Dad’s favourite places. I can see why! I must go soon and stay at Wallaga Big 4. Sounds like a fun holiday!
Retiring next January will see me “on the road again” and “tickin’ off my bucket list”. For sure, the Big4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park and Camel Rock Brewery is on mine! Being a traveller, it has everything I dream about and supports local businesses – so important! And who doesn’t love a cold beer, good food and great conversations at the end of each day and not having to leave the area for it all? Me!!
The Kids Love outdoors and adventure, Pop and Dad love seafood and Beer, and the love seeing them all happy in one place is a Big (4) Tick!!
Big4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park is Bucket List Worthy Because-
* It has the Blue Pool for the Teenager Kid’s so they are happy and not annoying 100% of the time.
* It has the Winery and Camel Rock Beach for Me, so I can go for relaxing walks, explore rock pools and unwind with a drink or two before hooking back up with hubby and kids.
* It also has Camel Rock Brewery and Fishing for the Old Man, so he can fish all day (and not annoy me because I’m looking at shells or rock pools= lol), and then he can have a beer or two to celebrate his big catch or to drown his sorrows because the big one (cough, cough) got away.
What more could you ask for in a Holiday Park !
BIG4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park has everything I need for a perfect getaway on my bucket list
The most Homely homely and inviting park I have ever stayed in. Makes me want to come back again and again
The BIG4 Park situated near Wallega Lake is conveniently located minutes away from beautiful Bermagui and across from the world-first Camel Park Brewery which makes it an unreplaceable experience on my Bucket List.
I have never really explored the South Coast area and watching this video has shown me that it’s time for a visit to explore and also to kick back and relax.

I love to Bask in the company of Interesting people when I Getaway to Fascinating locations

One of the best fishing spots to catch Marlin !
A holiday park with it’s own brewery… sounds like a win-win to me.
We would love to experience the BIG4 Wallaga Lake Holiday Park – We have just picked up our caravan and excited to try it out.
Pure genius Steve, enhancing an already laid back caravan park stay into a one stop destination in itself. It’s certainly on my top Big 4 bucket list experiences!
I love the beaches and rocky outlooks, great for a stroll in winter. The schools of fish out there are calling. Out with the fishing rod or maybe just a beer in the on-site brewery to talk about it.
