If your heart beats to the vibrant drum of the Southern Highlands but you want the space and freedom of camping on a great river, then Wings of the Carribee is for you.
Two campsites share 20 Acres of cottonwood trees on the Wingecarribee river. They are 250m apart and both on the riverfront giving you the seclusion you need while allowing you access to all that the Highlands have to offer. Bring your fishing rod and yabbie net, sit at the large picnic table, rent a kayak and go for a paddle, come say hello to the miniature Hereford cattle and enjoy the half drum fire pit while watching the cows grazing across the river. If you are bringing dog(s) then they must be on a lead or consider Yabbie which is enclosed.
Of course you will be tempted to explore the area. Wings sits directly between Bowral and Moss Vale (both are less than 5km away) and is 14 km from historic Berrima so you can leave the camper and head into town to enjoy the old world charm of the area. The Southern Highlands is ideal if you’re wanting to escape Sydney (100km) or Canberra (160km) without lengthy travel. Discover all that the area has to offer including a host of idyllic country towns, fascinating shops and regular country events. With it’s abundant wineries, award-winning restaurants, culinary delights, and natural splendor, it’s the place to unplug, find yourself and indulge in some of life’s finest pleasures.
If the birds and the bees are your thing then you are also in for a rare treat. We have eastern greys, rabbits, the odd fox and a host of birdlife (eyes open for the resident wedgetail pair, pelicans, black swans etc.), but whatever you seek from your break, we look forward to hosting you.
Note that you have to bring your own toilet facility. Please confirm when you book that you are self sufficient in this regard.

A fresh and clean bathroom, huge amenities shed and even an open air bath. Our host, Magali, was welcoming and communicative. Highly recommended and we'll be back.

this place is so amazing along with the host - it’s an absolute hidden treasure that once you know you will return - it’s in a great spot for exploring the Jervis Bay Area - it has the best communal area and an outdoor bath in the forest that is private to your booking - I almost don’t want to review this because I want to make sure I get to revisit !! But Magali and her place need a shout out as she has poured so much love into creating a beautiful camping experience :)

We loved our time camping on Yabbie Corner. Vallance was a great host, very welcoming, great communications and you can see that he takes great care of the property. Highly recommend hiring a kayak to explore the river, we had no luck catching fish but enjoyed paddling the river. Highly recommend staying here, it was easily one of the best Hipcamps we have stayed at!

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 😁✨

This was truly a stunning stay. The views accross the water and the sounds of so many different bird life.
the area was fenced off so I felt totally safe letting the pups run freely.
Vallance was such an accomodating host who even on a Friday afternoon came down to help me out of a pickle I had gotten mysleft into.
Such a gentleman.
and if your lucky enough you might even get lucky with some free range eggs.
A beautiful spot.
I will re visit one day soon.
