Bendeela Recreation Area is a popular camping and recreation spot on the banks of the Kangaroo River, where it meets Lake Yarrunga, about 150 kilometres south of Sydney near Kangaroo Valley.

Wide-open grassy spaces, large riverbank trees, and a backdrop of rugged forested hills make it a scenic base for outdoor activities. Visitors can swim, fish, canoe, and explore walking trails along the river.

The area accommodates both tents and caravans, with basic facilities including toilets and drinking water. There are no powered sites, and open fires are not permitted — portable gas barbecues are allowed except during total fire bans.

A rear camping area opens to vehicles during busy holiday periods. Wildlife is abundant, with wombats, kangaroos, kookaburras, and other native animals commonly spotted around the grounds.
