Camped in a 10 m caravan at Round Yard Paddock Camp with pets, Oct 2026.
Recommends
A wonderful spot to gather with a group of friends. We were completely on our own with loads of space for the kids to run around. Some great local walks and can bike into Tathra if you dont mind a couple of hills. Would definitely stay again if in the area. Also very dog friendly.

Tent camped at Big Paddock Corner Camp with kids, Oct 2026.
Recommends
Great place to stay if you want to camp away from crowds and camper vans. Spacious, flat, grassy areas to pitch a tent, well-distanced from each other. A hot shower and toilet 200-300m away was a huge bonus. Thank you Tom for welcoming us on your property. The kids loved it there, too.

Camped in a 6 m camper trailer at Big Paddock Sunset Camp with pets, Oct 2026.

Lovely spacious sites; privacy but could interact with other campers if you felt a bit social. Fire pits and starry nights; heaven! Tom and his team are super welcoming and our dog also loved the opportunity to explore the extensive bush walks and dams.
