Camden Haven Inlet is a picturesque estuary system on the mid-north coast of New South Wales, approximately four hours north of Sydney. The system begins high on the Great Dividing Range and flows east through the historic town of Kendall before entering a series of interconnected lakes—Watson Taylor Lake, Queens Lake, and Gogleys Lagoon—and finally meeting the Pacific Ocean at the towns of Laurieton, Dunbogan, and North Haven. The inlet is renowned for its productive prawn and crab fisheries and offers diverse angling opportunities from its upper freshwater reaches to its ocean entrance. The waters feature many shallow sections, requiring careful navigation, and the area is a popular destination for both recreational fishing and scenic enjoyment.
