Lake Conjola is a small town situated on the South Coast of New South Wales, Australia.[2][3] It is located in the region of Ulladulla, in the City of Shoalhaven. At the 2016 census, Lake Conjola had a population of 437.[1] Lake Conjola is a popular tourist destination for boaters and fisherman. Fish in the lake include bream, whiting, tailor, flathead, luderick and jewfish. Lake Conjola is located on the southern side of Green Island, a renowned surf break. There are four caravan parks with cabins, caravan areas, tent areas, and waterfronts.

On New Year's Eve in 2019 the town was affected by fire during the 2019–20 Australian bushfire season.[4][5] Eight-nine homes were lost in nearby Conjola Park.[6]
