Wattle And Wave Hip Camp - Tathra

100%
(2)
1 site · Tent, RV · Tathra, NSW
Escape to Wattle & Wave Hip Camp, a peaceful 1500 sqm coastal bush block overlooking the ocean. Set along quiet Thompson Drive just minutes from Tathra Beach, this secluded haven combines the best of both worlds — nature, adventure, and relaxation.
Wake up to the sound of kookaburras and the distant crash of waves. Watch the sunrise over the ocean from your campsite, surrounded by native wattles, gums, and visiting kangaroos. At night, enjoy wide open skies perfect for stargazing and listening to the rustle of the bush.
Bring your bikes or hiking shoes — this is a rider’s paradise. From your campsite, you can roll straight into the Tathra Mountain Bike Trails, one of the Sapphire Coast’s most scenic and flowing trail networks. Whether you’re here for adventure or tranquility, there’s a rhythm here that invites you to slow down and reconnect.
It’s only a 3-minute drive or 15-minute walk to Tathra Beach, and just 5 minutes by bike if you prefer the scenic route. The Bega River and nearby estuaries offer fishing, paddling, and swimming, while Tathra’s village cafés, pub, and shops are close enough for a relaxed lunch or supplies run — yet far enough that you’ll feel worlds away once you return to camp.

Riverview Kiah is offering one campsite nestled on a very quiet part of the Kiah/Towamba river. To minimize impact on neighbors and make your stay more enjoyable, there is only one campsite offered on the whole property, so apart from the owners you will have it all to yourselves.
You will need to be a self-contained camper who brings their own camping toilet/shower. We offer access to water via a 1000l pod that is close to the campsite. This water is drinkable and may be used to fill jerry cans/ wash etc. We just ask you to please be frugal with usage.
The campsite is situated on a grassy knoll a mere 30m away from your own private beach, which is ideal for fishing kayaking and swimming.
The Kiah / Towamba river is well renowned for its excellent fishing. Live bait or soft plastics are best. Live bait can be sourced at nearby Nullica beach or alternatively, frozen prawn's, pipis or salted pilchards also yield success. Some of the species that call the river home are, Flathead, Bream, Luderick, Whiting, Estuary Pearch, Jewfish, Mullet and Flounder.
If you bring your kayaks, canoe or roof top tinny the river is very picturesque with unique photo opportunities and an abundance of wildlife. You can head upstream for a way but if you're feeling up to it, it's about a 2.5-hour paddle (at a slow steady pace) to the mouth of the river where Davidsons whaling station is located, as well as the view across the bay to Eden. If you time it right, you can go and return with the tide. Two kayaks and life jackets are provided with all bookings so that people without their own equipment are able to explore the pristine waterway.
There is a large firepit near the river that may be utilized as long as there is no total fire ban in effect. If you have your own firepit that can also be used but there are to be no fires on beach or bare earth. Firewood can be provided at an extra cost, (please select in extras, 1 bundle will last 2 nights on average).
Directions will be provided 48 hours before arrival; you are welcome to head straight to camp although if around I will meet and greet you upon arrival.
If you would like to bring your pet, please contact us to discuss first.

We loved Earl’s Farm - best camp ever! We stayed for 12 nights over NYE. Loved the serenity, but with easy access to Eden. Heaps to do/explore - river, beaches, fishing, SUP-ing. We brought our own shower and used the very well maintained drop toilet. Flies were a bit annoying but that’s Australia for you.

Trent has a beautiful spot, he has put a lot of effort in to the camp site. Was able to purchase chicken eggs and Trent greeted us after we settled in for a bit.
Caught plenty of fish , walked along the sand dunes when tide was low also gave the kayaks a go.
Eden town around the corner which came in super handy.
Definitely coming back.

What a hidden gem. The well kept farm right beside the river was a sight to behold. Beautiful wildlife, magnificent river and well kept amenities showing pride the owner has of this place.
Kids loved access to the river using the supplied canoes and life jackets and we all loved the grand fire place during the night.
For sure we will be back again as we only got the explore Eden and the river to a small degree.
As much as I'd love to keep this place a secret, it would be doing the owner a disservice. Thanks again for your great communication and hope to see you again soon.

This was such a great spot to take the kids. We had fun kayaking and took our own stand up paddle board. It felt very private & peaceful. We still had 1-2 bars of phone reception which was good, wouldn’t bother me if it didn’t have reception but handy to know I guess. We seen plenty of wildlife; eagles, a deer and a red belly black snake.. on the dirt road on our way out as we were leaving thankfully! The owner was very pleasant to deal with and very hospitable.

Trent hosts a beautiful HipCamp location. The site is close to Eden, only 10 minute drive. The site is right on the river, there is plenty of privacy with enough room to spread out with multiple families. We enjoyed our stay at Trent's HipCamp & would come again. Excellent directions & hassle free check in & check out.
