We had lovely 4 nights at Surfside, the powered was level with concrete pad. Power, water and waste close. The amenities were modern and clean. Overall I was so impressed, our stay surpassing any caravan park we’ve stayed at since being on the road for 13 weeks. The beach is stunning.

We loved our stay at Horses for healing at Sussex Inlet and would highly recommend this spot for anyone who is looking to stay at quiet and secluded spot. The property was easy to find and host met us at arrival. Campground is located near the paddock with alpacas and a donkey (host told that we could pet them, but they were shy and kept their distance, so we decided not to disturb them). We saw many kangaroos during our stay as well. Overall nice spot and would try to come again during warmer months.

Great spot, with a fully fenced paddock for those with dogs. About a 25 min walk to the town of Hilltop. Site has Optus mobile coverage. There is a bit of road noise. Tabitha is very friendly and helpful.

4 nights at Surfside Cudmirrah Beach

We enjoyed our experience at Cudmirrah Beach, the concrete slabs were great, nicely spaced, new and in great condition. The amenities were spotless and clean. The location to the beach is mint! We went in winter and had the beach to ourselves. Kangaroos coming through the area at dusk and morning were nice . The only downside is there isn’t any shops close - so bring supplies in with you. Although this also makes the spot nice and quiet. Would love to go back in the summer.

4 nights at Surfside Cudmirrah Beach

I loved teardrop camping at Surfside Cudmirrah Beach. The facility was very well maintained. The showers had strong water pressure and hot water. The toilets were clean. The powered site P5 was nice and spacious. The beach is stunning and pretty much secluded this time if year. I do wish I could bring my own firepit and not pay $10 a night, that said, not a deal-breaker. Would easily return annually.

Weekend Trip to Oak Hill.

We really enjoyed our three nights at Glinda Hill. Wed originally booked for two nights but decided it wasn’t enough time so extended for a third. Tabitha has mown a lovely, large, open space. Very private and loads of sunshine for charging our solar panels. Wilson Drive is close by so you can hear some cars during the day, but we didn’t mind it at all and the nights are super peaceful. Our doggoes enjoyed free ranging in our paddock. Hill Top village is very close by and has everything you might need. Mittagong, Bowral and Berrima are only a short drive away, so this is a fantastic base for exploring the area. We can recommend the Eden Brewery (Mittagong) for a beer and burger, as well as 1834 if looking for a pub lunch in Berrima (both dog friendly). We also rate Baked in Berrima for delicious bread and baked goods. We’ll definitely keep Glinda Hill in our “Favourites” list, especially given its relatively close proximity to Sydney. Thank you Tabitha!

Wonderful location with absolute privacy, we wish all campgrounds are like this. We enjoyed three days at Paperbark with stunning views, cozy campfires and the pool for the warmer days. Hot shower and bathroom all to ourselves was a treat. Michael and Pip were great hosts, and even the Easter Bunny made a visit with some chocolates.

We loved Lisa’s farm. It’s a lovely big flat area with great fire pit and small covered shed that you can use. There is a porta a loo on site. It is peaceful with birds wallabies and horses around, walks into the bush and a short drive into Sussex inlet, lakes and Cudmirrah. We explored the area and found lots of beaches good surf and coffee too! Would definitely return. Lisa and her husband were very helpful and kind.
