Head north and south of Sydney and you’ll find more beaches than you can count, as well as lakes and winding rivers, thundering waterfalls, and lush rainforests. Beyond the sandstone curtain of the Great Dividing Range, with its gorges in the north and snow-covered alps in the south, stretch the western slopes and plains, full of country towns and hidden surprises. Head to the far west and you’ll find yourself on the edge of the Outback. With more national parks than any other state (and more diversity of landscapes, too) New South Wales delivers the goods when it comes to unforgettable getaways.

Weekend Trip to Bundilla River Camp

Absolutely loved the trip! The sites are very spacious, right next to a river where you can swim or use the free kayak that are available. (We even saw some turtles) Getting to the location was very easy to find and the host were very nice. They even have a feed the farm animal where you can interact with a range of different animals ($1pp each day) it was pretty good, great for little kids. There is even a small playground with swings that can keep the small ones entertained. There’s toilets (pits) but are very clean and looked after. No showers but there is a sink with water. No BBQ but there is a communal area that is undercover. Would recommend for a weekend away!

We had an incredible time at Mei’s campsite!! Mei and her husband were so friendly and welcoming, and Mei made sure we had everything we needed when we arrived after dark. The campsite itself was absolutely stunning, and all the other campers were super friendly too! Such a lovely experience, would highly recommend! 😊

Mei and John were fantastic hosts that were full of humour and responsive with every question we had! The site was private and quiet at night which made falling asleep very easy. The campground is large and has a private fire pit at each site for campfires. They also have a thoughtful communal area with fridges/freezers and hot showers on site. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a campsite on the mid north coast. With their constant upgrades, we can't wait to visit them again!

3 nights at The Farm-Urunga riverfront camp 🏕️

Wife, Dog and I shared some fantastic days here. Beautiful drive in from the end of the road with maintained gravel through tall stands of timber. Large, well prepared sites, each with a truck rim firepit. Trays with firewood were available to purchase. Every camp group had a dog, but the less well mannered dogs were on leads and the others frolicked together. Cattle were in the neighbouring paddock and although curious, were not intimidating. I brought my own kayak, but there were kayaks and lifejackets at the boat ramp waiting to be used, free of charge. I caught a decent flathead from the site, but returned it for someone else to catch. Our hosts were that perfect combination of checking in on our needs, social chat and giving us space to enjoy their property on our own. Beautiful hamlet of Urunga 6 minutes drive away. Highly recommended by all humans and hounds on our trip.

Great location right on the Kalang River. Hosts are very responsive and friendly. The location suits all types of self contained campers. Very short trip into Urunga if you need anything. Dump point even closer. Will definitely return. For those into MTB, you’re 25mins from Jacks Ridge MTB Park, 10min to Cows With Guns and about 50min to Wedding Bells.

New South Wales camping guide

Where to go

The Blue Mountains

Lace up your boots for one of Australia's best bushwalking destinations. The ridge of mountains two hours west of Sydney by road or train is a World Heritage-listed wonderland of sandstone canyons, waterfalls, valleys, and clifftop lookouts. The national park offers remote bush campsites, or you can go for a bit more comfort in one of the region’s many caravan and holiday parks.

NSW North Coast

The coastline of northern NSW, from north of Newcastle to the Queensland border, is classic beach holiday territory. Almost every town has at least one caravan park, often with waterfront campsites, and most of the coastline is protected by national parks with fantastic camping spots and facilities. Flanked by the Great Dividing Range and World Heritage rainforests, the North Coast has Hipcampers spoilt for choice.

NSW South Coast

Every bit as wild as the North Coast, the South Coast stretches south of Sydney to the Victorian border with a string of national parks, state forests, campgrounds, and seaside towns with family-friendly holiday parks. Kangaroos and wallabies graze the camping grounds and laze on the beaches, which have some of the whitest sand in the world. Kayak the waterways, bushwalk the forests, and soak in the views from the mountaintops.

Snowy Mountains

Alpine New South Wales, also known as the Snowy Mountains, stretches from the ACT south to the Victorian border along the spine of the Great Dividing Range. Along with hundreds of camping spots, the big attraction of Kosciuszko National Park—the largest national park in NSW—is Australia’s highest peak, Mount Kosciuszko. In winter, the area is a magnet for skiers, and in summer, fishing, bushwalking, and mountain biking reign supreme.

NSW Outback

The far western corner of NSW is a great introduction to the Outback, where endless red dust plains seem to stretch on forever under cloudless blue skies. Take a road trip out here and you'll see plenty of kangaroos and emus, but not many people. National parks such as Mungo, Mutawintji, and Kinchega offer superb camping spots, Aboriginal art sites, and stunning scenery.
