This is a birding hotspot. About 9km west of Malcolm on the Laverton Leonora Rd a small track leads off to the NE, about 3km along it is the disused dam that is now a reserve and has a free campsite. The quality of the site depends on the level of water in the dam, which can get quite low. On the other side of the wall is a good quality woodland.
Camp rating 8, the best sites are along the dam wall, but there is a ring of table shelters around the dam. There are no toilets here.
