Babbling Brook is fast becoming one of our favourite places to escape to.
This was our second stay and it was just as good, if not better, than the first. The campsites are all right on Wandandian Creek, so you literally roll out of the swag and you’re fishing for dusky flathead and bream for dinner. Being able to have a proper campfire at night and bring the dog along just tops it off.
Michele and Bill are genuine, down‑to‑earth hosts who make you feel welcome from the moment you arrive, and nothing is too much trouble for them. They’re very accommodating and helpful but still give you plenty of space so it stays quiet and relaxing along the creek. If you’re after peaceful, waterfront bush camping with good fishing, a fire, byo facilities / water and your dog by your side, Babbling Brook is hard to beat and we’ll definitely be back again.

This was an exceptional stay at site 3! We received great and prompt correspondence from Michele who was lovely to deal with for a seamless and smooth check-in. Upon arrival, our firewood were already ready at our site. Site was very well maintained, and very comfortable to set up at. We have a reactive dog who reacts to strangers and other dogs - but he absolutely loved how quiet our site was. We very well distanced from other campers so it was really nice to enjoy the view and quietness on the flat terrain which giving our little dog a lot of room to run around. In the morning, we saw lots of wallabies, kangaroos and wombat who were peacefully going about their morning. We will definitely be staying here again.

Gazellings of wildlife in the area right next to our campground. We saw kangaroos during sunset and so many cute wombats at night. Water is easy to access. We kayaked and paddled every morning and sunset while staying here. The hosts are amazing too! They made several trips to bring us two kayaks and firewood. This site is also very close to grocery stores, you don’t need to worry about bringing everything from home.

Generally a nice location and overall campsite but not massively impressed since the Hipcamp listing stated there was a camp kitchen we could use which there wasn't. There weren't any taps near to us to fill up water (and no soap on the communal bathrooms) so not ideal if you don't have a fully fledged amenities in your vehicle

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.
