Located just outside the entrance to the Cataract Dam picnic grounds, Cataract Scout Camp can accommodate a small group in tents or bunks, or a Jamboree of 10,000 Scouts. The quicker way to travel there from areas east of about Liverpool is to head to the TOP of Bulli pass, and then turn towards Campbelltown, rather than taking the M5 to Campbelltown first (unless coming from near the M7).
