Note - bookings are by arrangement only.
BEFORE YOU BOOK - PLEASE MAKE SURE THIS PROPERTY IS RIGHT FOR YOU
1. CAPACITY - We are able to host only a single campsite comprising a single tent or caravan for no more than two nights duration only. This will ensure compliance with NSW State Govt regulations that are policed heavily by Eurobodalla Shire Council. Please do not plan to erect a second tent – this may result in a fine that we will pass on to you. We apologise if this prohibits your larger family and small group from enjoying our property (which we strongly believe should be permitted.
2. SITE AMENITIES - The camp is best suited to adventurous campers with swags, tents, rooftops, light camping trailers and small popup caravans. There is a flushing toilet, a hot shower, running (dam) water, and firepits but no electricity or refrigeration. We have fire pits available for guests use, please ensure there are no restrictions in place before lighting a campfire in the designated firepit. FREE FIREWOOD is available on site.
3. ROAD ACCESS - The last couple of km of dirt track are undulating and dusty, but perfectly fine for all vehicles in dry conditions. Access and exit will become challenging for larger motorhomes and caravans, heavy camping trailers and 2WD vehicles (especially front-wheel-drive), after periods of heavy or prolonged rain. We will refund your booking fee if you choose to cancel, or we close the property, due to the weather (it will need to be bad for us to close the property, so you won’t want to be there anyway). Please message us in advance for advice if you are concerned about the weather or vehicle access.
4. PETS - Well behaved pets are welcome but must be controlled and cleaned up after.

🌿 Mogo Creek Homestead – Ride, Rest and Slow Down 🌿
In the quieter months, when the trails are cool and the South Coast feels unhurried, Mogo Creek Homestead offers a peaceful base beside a tidal creek, just minutes from the Mogo Mountain Bike Trail network. It’s a place where adventure and rest sit comfortably side by side.
Ride straight from camp to the trails, wander into Mogo village, or explore nearby beaches before returning to your own spacious site to light the fire and settle in as the evening cools. Off-season stays are all about space, stillness and flexibility — whether you’re here for a few big ride days, a relaxed family break, or a quiet couple’s escape.
The homestead feels secluded yet is close to everything that makes the region special. Open paddocks, flat grassed campsites and the gentle rise and fall of the creek tide invite you to slow down and enjoy simple outdoor living.

- Easy sealed-road access from the Princes Highway
- Private fire pit and hot plate at each site
- Clean, well-maintained composting toilets
- Gated access to the tidal creek
- Plenty of space for bikes, kids and fireside evenings

🌙 For couples and families:
Kids have room to roam safely, with the creek fenced from campsites, while adults can relax knowing shops, cafes and attractions are close by. Evenings are made for fires, conversation and watching the stars come out early.
🌱 A low-impact stay:
The campground is designed to sit lightly within the landscape, retaining creekside vegetation and encouraging a simple, self-sufficient style of camping. No potable water is supplied, helping keep the experience grounded and intentional.
🐦 Good to know:

If you love markets, you're in luck! There are plenty of local markets in the area, including the Moruya Country Markets which are held every Saturday. You can also visit the Moruya Farmers Market, held on Tuesday afternoons, or the nearby Tilba Market, held on Saturday mornings.
The tiny nearby town of Bodalla boasts a magnificent dairy with cheese tasting (try the lemon myrtle!) and interactive calf feeding daily at 10am and 4pm.

There are plenty of tourist attractions to explore in the area, including the stunning Eurobodalla National Park, the historic town of Mogo and the renowned Mogo Zoo. For those who love the outdoors, the Moruya river is perfect for fishing, kayaking and swimming.
If you're looking for natural beauty, you'll be spoilt for choice. Take a drive along the coast and discover beautiful, secluded beaches, or explore the nearby forests and waterfalls.

Whatever your interests, Glenduart Farm Riverside Camps are the perfect place to relax and enjoy all that the South Coast has to offer.
THE IMPORTANT STUFF:
ACCESS: As you enter the property, you'll find yourself driving down an unsealed dirt road, before embarking on approx 100 meters of fairly flat to gently sloping paddocks. We recommend 4WD or AWD vehicles to access, however will leave this to your discretion.
PETS: We are a working farm with horses and cows that are easily spooked and we only allow dogs under very (very) special circumstances. Please send an enquiry if you wish to bring a furbaby along, but as a rule, we do not allow dogs on the property.
AMENITIES: There are no drinking water or electricity provisions on site.
There is a toilet provided with walking distance to all sites. Our future campers and native wildlife request that you keep your business contained to onboard toilets, porta potties or the toilet provided. Under NO circumstances are toilet cassettes to be emptied in or around the river or campsites.
RIVER ACCESS: Our large sites offer sweeping views and great fishing however the banks are raised and will require some tenacity if you wish to swim or pop a kayak in. You can however moore small watercraft including boats & jetskis after putting them in at the boat ramp a short drive up the river.
FENCING: We have farm fencing in place between the camp sites and the river bank, however we advise small children be monitored as there are several open access points along the riverbank. As mentioned, we are a working farm using gates and fences to contain our livestock. As a rule, leave all gates as you find them (eg: if you open a gate, close it after you. If its already open, leave it open)
WILDLIFE: You'll see huge wombat holes all along the river bank - although tempting for the kids, please refrain from digging these out further as our wombats still use them as houses and they contribute to riverbank erosion. You may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of our fabled red stag in the evenings and will see an array of beautiful birds and other native animals that share our property. Please note: Any form of animal cruelty will not be tolerated and there is no hunting allowed on the property.
*FIRES: Govt / weather restrictions permitting.
Mabe lit in designated firepit areas only - BYO Firewood.
A small wood pile is provided to each camp on arrival to get you started and provide a modest fire for the night, however chopped firewood is available by the bag or wheelbarrow on a cash basis. $25 for a large bag - $50 for a barrow.
Let us know in your booking if you'd like us to arrange to have purchased firewood on site for when you arrive.

Note - bookings are by arrangement only.
BEFORE YOU BOOK - PLEASE MAKE SURE THIS PROPERTY IS RIGHT FOR YOU
1. CAPACITY - We are able to host only a single campsite comprising a single tent or caravan for no more than two nights duration only. This will ensure compliance with NSW State Govt regulations that are policed heavily by Eurobodalla Shire Council. Please do not plan to erect a second tent – this may result in a fine that we will pass on to you. We apologise if this prohibits your larger family and small group from enjoying our property (which we strongly believe should be permitted.
2. SITE AMENITIES - The camp is best suited to adventurous campers with swags, tents, rooftops, light camping trailers and small popup caravans. There is a flushing toilet, a hot shower, running (dam) water, and firepits but no electricity or refrigeration. We have fire pits available for guests use, please ensure there are no restrictions in place before lighting a campfire in the designated firepit. FREE FIREWOOD is available on site.
3. ROAD ACCESS - The last couple of km of dirt track are undulating and dusty, but perfectly fine for all vehicles in dry conditions. Access and exit will become challenging for larger motorhomes and caravans, heavy camping trailers and 2WD vehicles (especially front-wheel-drive), after periods of heavy or prolonged rain. We will refund your booking fee if you choose to cancel, or we close the property, due to the weather (it will need to be bad for us to close the property, so you won’t want to be there anyway). Please message us in advance for advice if you are concerned about the weather or vehicle access.
4. PETS - Well behaved pets are welcome but must be controlled and cleaned up after.

🌿 Mogo Creek Homestead – Ride, Rest and Slow Down 🌿
In the quieter months, when the trails are cool and the South Coast feels unhurried, Mogo Creek Homestead offers a peaceful base beside a tidal creek, just minutes from the Mogo Mountain Bike Trail network. It’s a place where adventure and rest sit comfortably side by side.
Ride straight from camp to the trails, wander into Mogo village, or explore nearby beaches before returning to your own spacious site to light the fire and settle in as the evening cools. Off-season stays are all about space, stillness and flexibility — whether you’re here for a few big ride days, a relaxed family break, or a quiet couple’s escape.
The homestead feels secluded yet is close to everything that makes the region special. Open paddocks, flat grassed campsites and the gentle rise and fall of the creek tide invite you to slow down and enjoy simple outdoor living.
🏕️ Campsite features:
- Large, flat sites suitable for tents or caravans
- Easy sealed-road access from the Princes Highway
- Private fire pit and hot plate at each site
- Clean, well-maintained composting toilets
- Gated access to the tidal creek
- Plenty of space for bikes, kids and fireside evenings

Two MTB trailheads are just 1.3 km away, making this an easy, low-stress basecamp for ride to and from riding. Roll out in the morning, ride all day, and come back to warmth, food and space to recover.
🌙 For couples and families:
Kids have room to roam safely, with the creek fenced from campsites, while adults can relax knowing shops, cafes and attractions are close by. Evenings are made for fires, conversation and watching the stars come out early.
🌱 A low-impact stay:
The campground is designed to sit lightly within the landscape, retaining creekside vegetation and encouraging a simple, self-sufficient style of camping. No potable water is supplied, helping keep the experience grounded and intentional.
🐦 Good to know:

If you love markets, you're in luck! There are plenty of local markets in the area, including the Moruya Country Markets which are held every Saturday. You can also visit the Moruya Farmers Market, held on Tuesday afternoons, or the nearby Tilba Market, held on Saturday mornings.
The tiny nearby town of Bodalla boasts a magnificent dairy with cheese tasting (try the lemon myrtle!) and interactive calf feeding daily at 10am and 4pm. If you want a few pints and great meal, the ribs at the Adelaide Hotel are magnificent (although only available seasonally) and a courtesy bus is available from the entrance to the property.
There are plenty of tourist attractions to explore in the area, including the stunning Eurobodalla National Park, the historic town of Mogo and the renowned Mogo Zoo. For those who love the outdoors, the Moruya river is perfect for fishing, kayaking and swimming.
If you're looking for natural beauty, you'll be spoilt for choice. Take a drive along the coast and discover beautiful, secluded beaches, or explore the nearby forests and waterfalls.
Our riverside camp sites are great for large or small groups boasting generously sized and spaced grassed sites offering beautiful views of the abundant Moruya river along with individual firepits*
Whatever your interests, Glenduart Farm Riverside Camps are the perfect place to relax and enjoy all that the South Coast has to offer.
THE IMPORTANT STUFF:
ACCESS: As you enter the property, you'll find yourself driving down an unsealed dirt road, before embarking on approx 100 meters of fairly flat to gently sloping paddocks. We recommend 4WD or AWD vehicles to access, however will leave this to your discretion.
PETS: We are a working farm with horses and cows that are easily spooked and we only allow dogs under very (very) special circumstances. Please send an enquiry if you wish to bring a furbaby along, but as a rule, we do not allow dogs on the property.
AMENITIES: There are no drinking water or electricity provisions on site.
There is a toilet provided with walking distance to all sites. Our future campers and native wildlife request that you keep your business contained to onboard toilets, porta potties or the toilet provided. Under NO circumstances are toilet cassettes to be emptied in or around the river or campsites.
RIVER ACCESS: Our large sites offer sweeping views and great fishing however the banks are raised and will require some tenacity if you wish to swim or pop a kayak in. You can however moore small watercraft including boats & jetskis after putting them in at the boat ramp a short drive up the river.
FENCING: We have farm fencing in place between the camp sites and the river bank, however we advise small children be monitored as there are several open access points along the riverbank. As mentioned, we are a working farm using gates and fences to contain our livestock. As a rule, leave all gates as you find them (eg: if you open a gate, close it after you. If its already open, leave it open)
WILDLIFE: You'll see huge wombat holes all along the river bank - although tempting for the kids, please refrain from digging these out further as our wombats still use them as houses and they contribute to riverbank erosion. You may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of our fabled red stag in the evenings and will see an array of beautiful birds and other native animals that share our property. Please note: Any form of animal cruelty will not be tolerated and there is no hunting allowed on the property.
*FIRES: Govt / weather restrictions permitting.
Mabe lit in designated firepit areas only - BYO Firewood.
A small wood pile is provided to each camp on arrival to get you started and provide a modest fire for the night, however chopped firewood is available by the bag or wheelbarrow on a cash basis. $25 for a large bag - $50 for a barrow.
Let us know in your booking if you'd like us to arrange to have purchased firewood on site for when you arrive.

Pitch black surrounds are perfect for star gazing and only a 5 minute drive from town amenities and the unspoilt pristine beaches of main and Shelley.
The amazing local area includes courtesy buses to multiple venues including the Waterfront Hotel, The Adelaide Pub, bowling and golf club - great meals and bar options. Also a must visit to the Quantum Brewery and The River restaurant for a true foodie experience.
MOGO zoo, only a short 15min drive is worth a visit and for those who love to mountain bike, the new track opens soon and we hear it has “magic dirt”!
Don’t forget to visit BODALLA and feed the calf’s at 10am and 4pm daily - the ice cream and milkshakes are worth the trip.

Scenic location with great hospitality and amazing access. We kayaked to the location and pulled up on the boat ramp. We were greeted by Ross on arrival and had access to a firepit, bbq, shower and toilet with great service from the hosts. The perfect place to relax, get away and escape the busy life style and enjoy the peace and quiet. I would definitely recommend and come back. Thanks Ross and Lisa

We really enjoyed staying here, amenities were clean and staff were friendly. The camp kitchen only has a barbecue which didn't impact our trip too much but just something to note, had a lovely stay

What a great place to stay! We had a few nights here and booked last minute.
Easy to find and easy access.
Quiet and relaxing alongside the small fenced creek.
Fire pits and firewood available at a small fee. Kyaks to use to paddle up the river.
So close and convenient to the town, MTB trails, Distillery, Zoo and Nearby towns like Broulee.
The owners are so friendly and happy to offer help on the area.
Will definitely come back!!

Beautiful quiet farm stay on the river, had it to ourselves one night and quiet with only one other group the next, large sites so plenty of space in between. Highly recommend for a relaxing stay at a reasonable price.

Just had a great weekend camping and relaxing at Mark’s place. Soft, grassy, flat, cleared campsite overlooking the river with tall gum trees. Solar shower and flushing toilet a total luxury as well as the huge campgrounds only being able to be booked for one tent - privacy! A few lazy boats going by, a great little swimming/kayaking beach and some short walks made for a very nice bit of time out. The road in and out was perfectly fine, might be a bit slippery on the hills when very wet and I wouldn’t bring a caravan. Thanks Mark for making it available and all the effort that clearly goes in to maintaining such a large space.

Know before you go
- Batemans Bay is around a four-hour drive south from Sydney and two hours from Australia’s capital, Canberra. It is a popular spot for Canberrans, including politicians, to holiday.
- Murrays Coaches offers services from Sydney to Batemans Bay via Canberra
- Batemans Bay Visitors Centre is located in the shopping precinct on the corner of the Prince Highway and Beach Road.
- The area around Batemans Bay was severely impacted by bushfires in late 2019 and early 2020. Some historic buildings in places such as Mogo were destroyed, and tourism suffered. The #emptyesky campaign encourages tourists to buy local produce and products during their visit to support small businesses.
- Daylight saving time is observed in NSW, starting in early October and ending in early April.
Nearby attractions
- A small coastal hamlet in Shoalhaven set amidst a wide array of attractions, Bawley Point is the perfect place to plan your camping trip.
