Burroman Flat
15 sites · RVs, Tents2650 acres · Brooman, NSWBurroman Flat is roughly 50 acres with 1km of Clyde River frontage. The river is permanent fresh water and has two small waterholes at the upstream end and a much larger water hole on the downstream end. In between are shallow rapid sections, small pools and endless exploring.The banks range from moss covered rocks and grassy sections to shady water gum forest, casuarina trees, river peppermint and blue gum trees.Campsites are spread along a grassy strip that runs approximately 700 meters along the edge of the flat with tracks that go down to the river. The campsites are grass covered in a strip of open forest with native shrubs that add privacy. There is lots of space and shade.To the eastern side of the camp is the open flat and Boulder Mtn. Burroman Creek forms the boundary on the northern side and meets the river at the upstream water holes. The River Road runs north south on the eastern side of the flat.The flat itself is ancient, and very high. The last time it flooded over was in the 70's. The flood in February 2020, just after the fires was 17m and didn't cover the whole flat - the area where the camp sites are did not go under water. The tracks down to the river from the camp area are steep - particularly at the southern end. The least steep are at Site 1 and another near where the toilets and water cell are.This is a very beautiful section of the Clyde River.Kids 16 yrs and under stay for free!The flat and camp sites are 2WD accessible.There is Telstra reception (usually a bar or few) on the flat. For Optus and Vodafone it's less reliable - you may get signal - but if not, on the rise at the road just up from the gate is mostly pretty good. Alternatively about 1.5km from the gate going towards the old town is a high point on The River Road that looks south west. This is one of the better spots without climbing a mountain..

The Sanctuary 2580
6 sites · RVs, Tents500 acres · Boxers Creek, NSWThe Sanctuary's a rugged & beautiful, biodiverse, timeless land of ~500 acres. We are 2.5hrs - Sydney, 1.3hrs - Canberra & 25mins - Goulburn. Access to The Sanctuary is currently best-suited to a 4WD, tradies ute or light truck... although I get in with a 2WD light truck with good luggy rear tyres. The main valley at The Sanctuary, which visitors also travel down to get to the property is also the catchment for George's Creek (as it was on maps in the 1890s) The upper valley is an open uplands floodplain & aquifer recharge zone, with native grasses & herbs, part of a grassy box woodlands ecosystem, with a rich biodiversity incl superb lyrebirds, red & yellow-tailed black cockatoos, sulfur-crested & gang gang cockatoos, owls, possums, echidnas, roos, wallabies, wombats & goannas, wild deer etc.. There’s 5 different sorts of ecosystems on & surrounding The Sanctuary, which in the bigger picture of southeast Australia, all of them endangered due to post-European invasion widespread clearing & climate change.If you look carefully down the eastern side of the upper main valley, you'll find several amazing volcanic pumice-like rock formations that have withstood the geological timescale erosion of the surrounding shale-like rock. This is a large property, but we only use the most accessible ~5-10%, leaving the rest & the wildlife undisturbed. Our boundaries/fences are a bit longer than your average suburban block. The northern fence-line is 2.1 kms long, western ~800m, eastern 1 kms, and southern boundary which is also Jerrara Creek, ~5.6kms. Our elevation ranges from ~590-~768m or 810m above sea-level (depending on which map and survey you believe). This means our nights, even in summer are mostly cool, and in mid-winter 2019, Blue Wren Springs campsite (now closed) got down to ~9.1 ºC. due to climate change certainly a lot warmer than winters 30-40 years ago, getting down to ~15ºC. There are fire trails you can walk up to our highest points of Mount Anne, and Mount William. Or you could also walk up the Mt Marulan Firetrail to the survey trig point, we prefer you to walk around The Sanctuary and the locals would prefer you don’t drive up to Mt Marulan. A key part of our mission at The Sanctuary is environmental & climate change science education, ecofootprint & environmental governance work with forward-thinking companies, regenerative catchment management, & broadacre Permaculture design & consultancy work. Currently no power, drinking water, toilets or any facilities at all. It's for the self-contained visitor wanting to hang a billy over a fire pit & sizzle sausages over hot coals. Well-behaved dogs welcome, but must be under control at all times! We welcome kids & well behaved dogs, include & respect diversity in most of its forms, including: - cultures, languages, religions & ethnicities, & neurodiverse, ASD, Rainbow/LGBTIQ, (self-sufficient) differently-abled families. But mutual respect for People & Planet is non-negotiable. There is currently NO Camping at The Sanctuary due to Council compliance orders and some diligent whingeing fool. Your visit to The Sanctuary helps us fund the costs of owning the property, paying the rates, & environmental custodianship, including carrying out environmental management, including weed control, fencing, & healing the land via regenerative agriculture, tree planting, stopping soil & gully erosion, etc For low income families we discount the visitor fee and negotiate barter in some sort of farm work :-)Please like our FB page The Sanctuary 2580, but all comms & bookings via the good folks at HipCamp, as they take the hardwork out of websites, payments, insurance etc, making it so much easier for us busy hosts ! :-)

Outdoor stays for every style
Find your new favourite spot.
When it comes to natural beauty, Jervis Bay is hard to beat. About three hours’ drive south of Sydney in the Shoalhaven region near Nowra, the bay stretches for 100 kilometres, bordered by national parks and holiday townships including Huskisson, Currarong. and Callala Beach. The South Coast getaway's most famous attraction is without a doubt Hyams Beach, often said to have the whitest sand in the world. But it’s just one of many beautiful beaches that dot the shore. The bay is also one of the best whale-watching destinations in Australia, as whales stop to rest in the protected waters during their annual migration from June to October.
Where to Go
Jervis Bay National Park
No trip is complete without a visit to Hyams Beach, the main highlight of Jervis Bay National Park. In addition, the White Sands Walk and interconnected Scribbly Gum Track loop through the park, taking you along the coast and through forest and woodland. Stop along the walking track to go snorkelling or picnic at a secluded beach, and look out for native sugar gliders and birdlife including New Holland honeyeaters, eastern spinebills, eastern rosellas, and crimson rosellas. From an elevated viewing platform, Bull Hole Lookout offers fantastic views over the coast and surrounding dunes, all covered in swamp oak, banksias, and wattle trees. Learn the area’s history and culture on a tour with an Indigenous guide to try your hand at weaving and taste damper and native tea.
Booderee National Park
See the ruins of the Cape St. George Lighthouse perched on the edge of a cliff in nearby Booderee National Park. The park has great camping areas and is home to Australia’s only Indigenous-owned and managed botanic gardens. The area’s beaches include family-favourite Green Patch, Scottish Rocks, Bristol Point, Hole in the Wall, and Murrays Beach, a great place to watch sunrise over Bowen Island. Cave Beach is another popular highlight, known for surfing and offering the chance to see native kangaroos and wallabies.
Currambene Creek
Explore the tranquil Currambene Creek and its mangrove forests during a safari or sunset cruise aboard the iconic Husky Ferry. You might see wildlife like soldier crabs, sea eagles, and stingrays. The ferry also operates between Myola and Huskisson on weekends.
Huskisson
Just north of Huskisson, Moona Moona Beach is ideal for swimming and picnics, thanks to its shallow water, barbecue facilities, and outdoor showers. While you’re there, catch a flick at Huskisson Pictures, housed in a former community hall built in 1913, or try some local ales and a bite from a food truck at Jervis Bay Brewing Co.
