The main camp area sits closer to the river, offering direct access for swimming and relaxing by the water.
What to Expect
Campfires: Permitted — some firewood is available, though we recommend bringing extra.
Connectivity: Telstra mobile coverage and Starlink internet are available for convenience and emergencies.
Access: 4WDs are recommended, especially in wet weather. In dry conditions, an all-wheel drive can reach the site.
Pets: Your furry family members are welcome to join you.
Our little piece of Utopia is still a work in progress, but it’s as picturesque as it is peaceful. We hope you enjoy your stay and find the same sense of calm and connection that we do every time we’re here.
Welcome to your own slice of Utopia.

Wow, this is exactly as described plus more! We had the most relaxing private peaceful stay over 3 nights by the river. We watched the fish constantly jumping, even a stingray cruise by. The birdlife was abundant, with a kingfisher visiting! We had an open fire with wood that was almost too good to burn! Our border collie had a ball too. Brook Glen and Cash were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They look after their land exquisitely. The description is exactly as stated being unpowered, and the directions are easy to follow and very clearly communicated by Brook. It has to be the most peaceful river frontage camp we’ve ever experienced and we are so thankful that this young family are kindly sharing the opportunity. The price is incredible value considering all these factors! We would love to return and will tell all our camping friends!

We had such a relaxing, wholesome weekend at Glennbrooke River Camp. We were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves, and enjoyed sitting by the fire, listening to the birds sing and the fish splash in the river. We even had the cows come down to the paddock near our site to have a graze, our dog was so interested in them. Brooke and her family are so lovely and hospitable and we wish we could’ve stayed longer. We’ll be back 😊

Another year, another glorious summer holiday at Tuross River Camping. This year we went for a hike down river and found some more beautiful swimming spots. We even saw a turtle! This place has it all — running water, flush toilets, hot showers (but honestly after a day swimming in the Tuross, who needs them?) and a brilliant sheltered camp kitchen. The roads were in good condition getting in and when the toilets needed resetting, Dwayne took our call (via Starlink thank you very much) and was super helpful. We love this place and we'll be back again next year. Also, a stop at Bodalla on the way home is always fun (pub lunch, the dairy and art gallery are great).

We had the most peaceful and poetic stay by the creek in Shanti and Sol’s generous and considered space. Great simple facilities with a natural setting, we felt we were immersed in nature but with plenty of comfort and facilities. Would highly recommend this stay.

We have had the best week at Sol & Shanti’s stunning property. The place is deliciously secluded, with a bubbling creek and so many magnificent birds - kingfishers, superb wrens, kookaburras, whip birds and many others that we don’t know. The kids had a blast, playing cricket, swimming and chasing the chickens. The camp has the option to be totally private or you can wander up to the main area and use the camp kitchens while the kids play on the swings. Sol and Shanti were every bit the perfect hosts - friendly, warm and respectful. We loved visiting Tilba and Bermagui and enjoying the atmosphere of their bohemian property. We will miss it!

Our first night was a bit hairy as the January storms peels through Narooma! But fortunately, the pub in Narooma is spot on and 5 mins down the road. When we woke, we were surprised to find the paddock drained incredibly well and we had no issues with mud or ensuring our caravan was stable.
Fortunately the rain eased up the next day and after a trip into see the seals and Bodalla (a must go to town), we settled into Anchorage early afternoon, we had the paddock to ourselves, lit a fire, watch wallabies and wombats float freely around Mark’s paddock, then capped it off with some great star gazing.
Mark was an incredible host, saving us from disaster and lending his generator after our awning was unable to retract after a flat caravan battery (rookie error by me)!
Would recommend for a cheap, peaceful paddock, and remarkably close to sleepy Narooma which is a great town.
