Just spent the weekend at a great free campsite at Burraga Dam near Burraga in the Central Tablelands of NSW. It's a great spot for fishing, kayaking, beginner's sailing and camping with the kids. There are a few walking tracks to explore or just sit and enjoy the sounds of nature or kick back and read. There is a bush toilet and a few bins. You will need to bring your own water and please take your garbage home as the bins just cannot cope on busy weekends.
"Burraga, 47 kilometres from Oberon southwest of Black Springs, is situated amongst farming and forests which supply the Pacific Forests processing works. Burraga Dam Reserve is a lovely picnic, camping and fishing spot just north of the village. The remains of the old Burraga Copper mine can be seen from the outskirts of the village. It was one of the largest copper mines in the state and historical records and memorabilia can be seen at the Mill Museum in Rockley." http://www.oberon.nsw.gov.au/about/1001/1005.html
