Wonderful campsite in close proximity to Princes Highway and Wollongong area. A true campsite amongst the trees it truly felt secluded and away from it all. We stayed at site 2, a short drive on the property. No issues with overhanging trees or any obstructions and was easy to drive down and turn around. Plenty of privacy and secluded from all else, the running creek is a joy to be beside. Fit pit provided, BYO firewood. Small slope to the site but not major or inconvenient. Would easily return and would be suitable for small groups of 2 or 3 to make a enjoyable camping experience.

We really enjoyed our weekend at Cobbers Rest. It’s a large site with a couple of beautiful gum trees surrounded by vibrant bush vegetation and a creek nearby. Very quiet with great night sky too. Beaches are 10-15min drive. We’ll try to come again! Thank you Mel for your hard work to make this place what it is!

Close to southern highland venues but far from it all. Very peaceful. Great fire places. Lots of privacy. Available last minute for a single night, during a long weekend! And a lot cheaper than the local caravan park.
