Lake Leslie Tourist Park - Warwick QLD
Lake Leslie Tourist Park is located at 113 Saddledam Road Warwick in Queensland.
The area was discovered in 1827 by explorer Allan Cunningham and settled in 1840 by the Leslie brothers who began the tradition of the pastoralist, sheep and wool industry in Queensland.
Warwick Shire boasts some of Queensland's finest historical sandstone buildings, which were made from local sandstone and now stand today as reminders of their pioneering past. Known as the 'Rose and Rodeo City', Warwick hosts one of Australia's oldest and most famous rodeos each year in October. The Warwick Rodeo can trace its roots back to 1857 where records indicate the first professional buckjumping contest. Each year riders from around the nation compete for their share of the prize money.
The best place to camp is at Leslie Dam. There's plenty of birdlife, the showers and toilets are clean, the water is hot and the 4WD's are OK.

Nice park in close proximity to Lake Leslie. The managers are very friendly and helpful. Plenty of space for large vans and RV's. The powered sites are spacious and provides ample privacy. Bush camping is also available. Amenities are clean and tidy.
