Weekend Trip to Secret Valley

Awesome campsite tucked away 30 mins from Jervis Bay. Very well maintained, the hosts Lisa and Lance are super welcoming and friendly, and were waiting for us when we arrived late at night. Would recommend travelling there in daylight as the road can be tricky to navigate and there is a shallow creek you have to cross, but instructions given to us were very clear. The peace and quiet this place provides is something else.

Amazing common area with campfire with lots of amenities and extremely helpful owners. The owners even helped us with the campfire which was awesome. Location was excellent, driving distance to the local beaches and very close to shops.

Great spot! Super easy to find. We were only two, but the spots were so big and would be amazing for a bigger group too. Fire pits were awesome. Super close to lots of beautiful areas with swimming spots and walks. Short walk to flushing toilet.

Our stay was absolutely incredible! The place is gorgeous, the camping areas are super private, and if you book the bathtub… OMG, it’s perfect after a hot beach day. The communal area is beautiful and has everything you need for cooking, having a coffee and storing your food — plus the cutest little possums watching you at night like tiny fluffy supervisors. And the bathroom with the shower? A solid 10/10, no notes. Magali was an amazing host — super attentive, kind, and just lovely overall! We 100% recommend it. We already decided we’re coming back for a couple more days at the start of next year 😁✨

Peaceful and well kept, toilet was more of a drive away rather than a short walk from this campsite but that kept us away from the road and the noise at night. Toilet was really clean!

Cliff was great to deal with. We loved sitting around the fire enjoying the peace.

Picture yourself in a warm outdoor bath with a glass of your favourite drink in one hand and a book in the other surrounded by the gentle rustling of leaves and the soothing sounds of birdsong.

Serenity beside paradise. This wonderful location could not be better. Surrounded by trees and birdsong, the serenity is inescapable, and this is before you indulge in the gorgeous outdoor bath! And only eight minutes from paradise! Magali was a wonderful, attentive host who was there when you needed her, but otherwise left you to do your own thing. Amenities were plenty, and very clean. Very impressed with everything, thanks for a great getaway!
