1 night at 'Elouera Vale' Farm

Wayne was very welcoming & it was so appreciated as i arrived late & tired. The location was very private & quiet & very pretty.

Weekend Trip to 'Elouera Vale' Farm

Everything was perfect for a quick night away. Wayne is a superb host and has set up a great area that feels remote whilst only being 10 mins from town. Also perfect for our 1.5 year old to run around.

Weekend Trip to Hidden Brook Southern Highlands NSW

Great spot by the dam! Super handy to be able to purchase firewood on site ☺️

2 nights at Little Forest Farmstay

Beautiful peaceful location with plenty of space. It was a great way to escape the city for a couple of days. Would love to return.

Weekend Trip to 'Elouera Vale' Farm

Loved camping here, beautiful spot perfect for a quaint autumnal getaway. Well looked after and room to roam.

2 nights at Little Forest Farmstay

We enjoyed a wonderful 2 night stay at the front of Elsie's property, opposite the barn. It's a high site overlooking the creek and cow paddocks below, very wet when we first arrived and beautiful in the early morning fog. Elsie is a lovely host and very friendly. We look forward to returning one day and going for a swim in the creek when it's a bit less hectic (camped after Easter which saw some pretty torrential downpours) Beware of the ticks! We found a few in our hair when we got home. We probably could have been a bit more careful, we went on a few adventures in the long grass. Typical of any coastal bush camping.

Weekend Trip to Babbling Brook 4WD Camping

Great place for a camp with the family. We were on the water edge, can fish or launch a kayak easily. Several loops on the property for riding a MTB. One large loop is about 8km on fire trails to other camp sites. Really do recommend a 4wd if you are towing a van. Other than that any high clearance vehicle should make it. Plenty of fire wood comes with one order and there is a lot of privacy. We could not see the other camp sites from our camp but could see their fire at night through the trees.

Weekend Trip to Misty Mountain Farm

Absolutely beautiful place to stay at the foot of the mountain. Amazing stars. Fire pits provided too. Very easy access in our campervan and the farmer Mark was really welcoming. Very highly recommended indeed and so close to Berry and Seven Mile Beach. We will be going back.

Weekend Trip to Misty Farm

Such a beautiful spot, you can watch the horses and a magical mist sets in early morning. Perfect for a rooftop tent as the ground was extremely flat. Amazing spot

Weekend Trip to 'Elouera Vale' Farm

Five star portaloos! Fantastic place and perfect host. Thank you.

Weekend Trip to 'Elouera Vale' Farm

My first time adventuring this place and camping there, very quiet which helps to wind down from and the costumer service was excellent too. I would go again !

Weekend Trip to Joadja Gorge Retreat & Camping

An excellent choice if you want peace and privacy. Amenities were clean, instructions were clear, nothing to complain about. Stars were amazing, the gorge was incredible, and free firewood was the cherry on top. Will definitely be back and soon!

Weekend Trip to Joadja Gorge Retreat & Camping

Absolutely loved staying here. The Paddock has plenty of room and well maintained. It had a lovely fire pit set up and lots of firewood to collect. Leanne was so friendly and made the effort to make sure I was comfortable and had everything I needed and knew where the toilet and firewood was. The toilet was clean and well maintained. The naturewalks were stunning as well. The perfect place to relax and unwind. I’m looking forward to coming back.

Weekend Trip to 'Elouera Vale' Farm

We loved staying here! Wayne was the absolute best- so friendly and welcoming. The property was stunning and we loved being surrounded by the animals. You can tell how much time and love Wayne puts into the property. Such a great spot for groups of people so we will definitely be coming back and inviting our friends and family :)

3 nights at Currambene Creek Farm

Vey horse oriented and friendly. This is a fantastic quiet spot, close to highway access. Trees offered great shade and was a grassy camp area. ** If you have horses and float them around THIS is the place for you, for a spell in your travels** Horse float access was good. No fires on site, make sure to take a gas BBQ (and mozzie repellent). Must have a contained toilet. No pets other than horses.

Mellows Ridge

16 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Calderwood, NSW

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 2024, all the trails on the property have been massively upgraded and are passable with a 2WD car. If you're towing or it's wet we still recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles. We've just (mid December) added a spa half way up the driveway. It can be booked through the extras. 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.

Camping in Jervis Bay guide

Overview

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.
