**This is suitable for all camping setups and is accessed via a 2WD unsealed road.  Snow chains are required after snow**

This lakeside campground is about as scenic as they come. As well as being unbeatable for fishing, bushwalking and a good dose of outdoor relaxation, Three Mile Dam campground offers Aussie heritage in spades.

Established during the Kiandra gold-mining era, the dam provided water for sluicing operations via race lines to Kiandra (New Chum Hill). Its eastern side was part of the Snowy Mountains Hydro Electric Scheme.

There are no marked sites at this Kosciuszko campground, but you’ll find plenty of room for caravans, camper trailers and camping beside your car. Camp amidst the grassy sub-alpine woodland, bask in the shelter of the surrounding snowgums, and make use of the handy facilities including barbecues and picnic tables.

It’s a stunning spot to visit at any time of year. Carpets of snow daisies and billy buttons enhance a summertime camping trip, and its proximity to Selwyn Snowfields make it a great spot during winter, too.

Activities: fishing, stillwater canoeing/kayaking, skiing (cross-country), photography, swimming, astronomy and star gazing, birdwatching, camping

Lovely spot beside Three Mile Dam. 5km loop walk, Gold Fossickers walk, from the entrance is worth doing for the alpine flowers and other flora.

Just spent an amazing three days at this site. Plenty of room however high vehicles need to be aware of low branches on some of the tracks. At 3.2 metres I had to reverse out of two areas. There are fireplaces scattered around as well as park benches and tables. Being National Park you need to bring own wood. The long drop toilet currently in good condition. No other facilities
