Budgong, NSW · 5 sites · Tents, RVs
100 acres of secluded paradise with a kilometer of free flowing pebbled creek. Bound on two sides by the craggy escarpments of the Budgong and Morton National Parks there is ample grassland to give a feeling of space yet an abundance of trees to wander through as you engage with the tame wildlife and magnificent birdlife.
Bring your mountain bike, fishing rod, swimmers, hiking boots, tennis racket, basketball (a hoop on the tennis court) or climbing gear and leave the kids in the play area while you sit by the creek and listen to the water tumbling through the rocks.
If you are as intrigued by rare animals as we are, then this is the place for you. 63 Bird species, 24 mammals, 16 reptiles, and 12 amphibians have been sighted in the area (Clarke 2012) and this includes many rare and endangered species including the platypus, brush-tailed rock wallaby, Giant burrowing frog, Gang-gang cockatoo, Glossy black-cockatoo, Koala, Little Lorikeet and the Yellow-bellied glider.
We only have five campsites at present, so you will be guaranteed peace, space and privacy. with a minimum of 300m between all sites. Please note, that your group must be self-contained, with their own camp toilet, however fresh drinking water is available.
Access is into a valley on a well maintained unsealed road but there are some minor causeways making it unsuitable for busses or long low slung vans. An ordinary sedan will do for Billabong and Dad's camp sites but you will need some power for towing and a 4x4 to tow out in any rain. Riverbend and the Crossing sites are only suitable for 4x4's and off-road vans / trailers.
You are a 40 minute drive from the sea (try the Shoalhaven 100 beach challenge https://www.shoalhaven.com/100-beach-challenge/ ) and just 15km from the historical town of Kangaroo Valley with its myriad of water activities, golf, wine estates, and quaint shopping. ttps://visitkangaroovalley.com.au/see-and-do/

Calderwood, NSW · 11 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging
Nestled right up against the escarpment at an elevation of 450m, this high-end, off-grid 40 acre property effectively offers your own private slice of Macquarie Pass National Park - amazing views, giant cedar trees, fern forests, cascading waterfalls and palms surround.
It feels remote but it's only 90 min from Sydney, 30 min to Kiama and just 15 min to the shops. The property also offers the only hiking path up to the top of the escarpment for some truly amazing views.
As of September 2025, many of the trails on the property have been degraded by the rains and are now challenging for 2WD cars. If you're towing or it's wet we recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles.
Since this is coastal rainforest and it has been very wet, expect leeches anywhere it is damp. These are easily kept at bay with deet and or trousers tucked into socks.
We're not particularly price sensitive - until all those rate rises - but we are extremely value sensitive so we set out to make your stay extremely good value for your hard earned money. The land itself does most of the heavy lifting but also personal service and of course there's Lana to fall in love with.
Note, Mellows Rd is 2.6km long and rises 400m - in parts the road is a 15 degree grade. It's all paved but narrow so if you are towing a large heavy load, it's going to strain your car.

We had a wonderful stay with Matt. He met us at the top gate and showed us to our camp spot (very easy drive down a grass hill). The sites were clean and well kept. The property itself was beautiful- roaming cows and Kangaroos. Very peaceful. Matt kindly delivered us firewood. The river is great for kayaking! Will definitely be back. Super close to Huskisson and surrounding busier towns.

We had a wonderful stay at this campsite. Gina and Shawn made us feel so welcome and comfortable from the moment we arrived. The campsite was well maintained, and the compost toilet was exceptionally clean, which we really appreciated. The fresh eggs were delicious and such a lovely touch. Their hospitality and attention to detail made our stay perfect. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and enjoyable camping experience!

Stopped by for 1 night on our way down the coast, Ian was there to great us upon arrival along with Lana!
Ian has done a fantastic job making this site as great as it is, plenty of comforts as mentioned in the description which we did not use only due to staying overnight.
We stayed at Cedar Loggers Camp which offers a great privacy, toilets, water and a fire pit all ready to use along with some decking also which was a nice touch.
The lovely Lana was the little freebie we were not expecting, beautiful natured pup that was our ground guide all the our campsite and she even kept us company through out the night sleeping right next to our swag.
We cannot wait for a longer summer stay here to take full advantage of the campsite’s amenities and the walking trails!
Thank you Ian & Lana!

Working farm only 15 min south of Nowra that feels totally rural, and it has the quiet that comes with that. We were welcomed with a roaring fire prepared by host, Matt, who showed us to our spot. Would recommend having 4WD though, particularly if towing anything.

We loved camping here! The site offered beautiful views of the farm and the surrounding areas and was private and well maintained. The composting toilet was an added bonus. Gina was extremely friendly and welcoming when we arrived which we greatly appreciated. 10/10 would camp here again!

Not our first stay here, we love it,
It was absolutely torrential rain when we stayed but we were able to string a tarp and keep the fire roaring since the site drains the water well,
Thank you Natasha for letting us stay on your lovely property again
