Stories from the community

2 nights at Glennbrooke River Camp

Fabulous location, private with heaps of room on the water. Wonderful hosts. We will definitely stay again.

1 night at Little Forest Farmstay

Elsie and her dogs has been so welcoming. It's a large farm with plenty of space to camp on. I would definitely recommend booking here for a camp out.

Weekend Trip to Mogo Creek Homestead

We spent a long weekend with two other families and loved it. Six adults and seven kids aged 3-11. Flat, grassy camping spots with a fire pit, next to the river with a kid-proof fence. Swings, and plenty of space for the kids to run and play. Even the Buffalos from the adjacent Mogo Zoo came to say hi. Darcy and his family are super friendly. The bags of wood are generous and kept a bit fire going. The toilets and nice, small and clean. The mountain bike trail around Mogo do not disappoint. Overall, a great experience. Not even affected by the cold or the rainy exit.

Weekend Trip to Mogo Creek Homestead

This is a beautiful spot, really well set up with fire pits and toilets, and lots of space to spread out. Our kids had an awesome time playing on the paddock and loved hearing the zoo animals next door. Very close to the new Mogo mtb trails, and super friendly and responsive hosts. Thanks for having us Darcy and Stacey!

Weekend Trip to Glennbrooke River Camp

What a spot! Did not disappoint. Great big site right in the river, sound of bellbirds, awesome big fire pit. Definitely worth getting the trailer full of wood. Excellent value 👍 we didn’t leave our site for the 3 nights. Kids fished, lots of room to set up badminton. We were lucky enough to be the only ones there. Lush green grass. Very friendly hosts. Will definitely be back. We have a large rig and had no trouble on the road in or getting down to the river. Thank you for sharing your wonderful property.

1 night at Mogo Creek Homestead

We loved our time at Mogo Creek! Such a beautiful property, each site with their own fire pit and seat. The property was located in such a cute town, it felt like we were tucked away in the country yet just minutes away from some beautiful beach's. Loved having the creek onsite with a kayak to use. Such a bonus having a compost toilet too! Darcy and Stacey were so lovely and welcoming. Highly recommend!

2 nights at Millingandi Station

We loved our stay at Millingandy station. The paddock was perfect for the kids to run around and ride their bikes. They loved going down to the river too and meeting Milli the dog! Perfect location too, an easy drive into Merimbula and Pambula. Would definitely stay again.

Weekend Trip to Otford Park nr Royal National Park

I had such an amazing time at Otford park! Natasha’s property is stunning, and she was an extremely friendly and hospitable host. The tent-only site was surrounded by lush rainforest, and extremely well maintained. The facilities, including firepit, kitchenette, toilet, shower were amazing, and the option for Natasha to provide firewood was really handy. I was a little nervous about accessing the property in my 2WD sedan, but it was totally fine and Natasha sent through instructions with pictures before my arrival which were helpful. The property is also really well located for walks to nearby beaches, lookouts and national parkland. Thanks Natasha, I can’t wait to come back!

Nerrigundah Tuross River Camping

1 site · Tent200 acres · Nerrigundah, NSW

Based near Mount Utopia, Nerrigundah, we fell in love with our little sanctuary in 2020. There are two families Dwayne, Michelle, Robbie and Sharon and their four boys Blake, Taeg, Cooper and Flynn. Campers at heart, we started spending nearly every second weekend in our campers and this lead to many a night discussing what else we could do to make this property a place for others to use. It is a work in progress and there is plenty more to come, currently there is a ablution block that is up near the old house site, we decided it was best to have the camp area closer to the river. We have since added a camp kitchen, large undercover area and two cabins (for our own use at this stage). Enjoy direct access to the river plus more swimming areas on the property. Campfires are permitted. There is some firewood on the property but probably best to bring some of your own. There is Telstra service enabling mobile coverage if needed especially for emergencies. 4WDs are recommended to access this campsite. During the rain we recommend 4WD only. In dry you can access with an all wheel drive. Please message us if you're unsure about weather conditions and your vehicle. Our little piece of Utopia is still a work in progress but is picturesque as well as peaceful. Your furry family member is welcome to join you. We hope you enjoy our little Utopia.

Mellows Ridge

16 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Calderwood, NSW

Nestled right up against the escarpment at an elevation of 450m, this high-end, off-grid 40 acre property effectively offers your own private slice of Macquarie Pass National Park - amazing views, giant cedar trees, fern forests, cascading waterfalls and palms surround. It feels remote but it's only 90 min from Sydney, 30 min to Kiama and just 15 min to the shops. The property also offers the only hiking path up to the top of the escarpment for some truly amazing views. As of September 2024, all the trails on the property have been massively upgraded and are passable with a 2WD car. If you're towing or it's wet we still recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles. We've just (mid December) added a spa half way up the driveway. It can be booked through the extras. We're not particularly price sensitive - until all those rate rises - but we are extremely value sensitive so we set out to make your stay extremely good value for your hard earned money. The land itself does most of the heavy lifting but also personal service and of course there's Lana to fall in love with. Note, Mellows Rd is 2.6km long and rises 400m - in parts the road is a 15 degree grade. It's all paved but narrow so if you are towing a large heavy load, it's going to strain your car.

We are on acreage (approx 7 acres) in Otford, surrounded by forest, backing onto the very southern end of the Royal National Park Sydney/Wollongong. Sleep under the stars, and to the hoot of our local owls, and yips of the gorgeous feather-tail gliders. Lovely, peaceful and private in a bushland backdrop but so close and just a hike to famous sites, beaches, cafes and bushwalking - so the perfect spot to stop, unpack and then go exploring. Max of 3 camp sites booked at a time. Each camp site is within shouting distance of each other, so if looking for absolute privacy, please talk to me first. As bookings come throu

Camping in South Coast guide

Overview

Stretching from Sydney down to the Victorian border, the South Coast of NSW is a laid-back, unpretentious year-round destination filled with uncrowded white-sand beaches, crystal-blue bays, whale-watching opportunities, and wildlife-filled national parks. Adventurous travellers can find plenty of opportunities for surfing, diving, and bushwalking, while those who just want to relax can set up camp beachside and take in the natural beauty. As this region is far less-visited than the north coast, you might even feel like you have the place all to yourself.

Where to go

Illawara

On the Illawara Coast, Shellharbour is home to the National Surfing Reserve of Killalea, and the area is also a favourite of snorkellers and divers who can explore the many shipwrecks and marine life-filled underwater cliffs. Beachfront and just a short walk from the centre, various tourist parks offer a range of accommodation including powered sites, ensuite cabins, and self-contained beachside cottages. A little farther south, Killalea State Park has a secluded camping area in the park’s grassy meadows with access to facilities including toilets, hot showers, and an undercover electric barbecue area.

Shoalhaven Coast

Another favourite among surfers and divers, the Shoalhaven Coast is also known as a wine-growing region and for the powder-white sands, crystalline waters, and whale- and dolphin-spotting opportunities of Jervis Bay. Within Booderee National Park at Jervis Bay, the Cave Beach camping area offers some of Australia’s best secluded beach camping with access to cold showers and barbecues. Farther south, beachfront caravan sites and campgrounds in Murramarang National Park let you can camp alongside resident kangaroos.

Eurobodalla Coast

The Eurobodalla Coast is home to the seaside town of Batemans Bay, famed for its fresh seafood, particularly oysters, as well as the Clyde River National Park, where you can go bushwalking, kayaking, and fishing. Just south of town, Batemans Bay holiday parks offer villas as well as powered sites with access to laundry facilities and BBQ areas. Farther south, Tuross Head is perched on a headland between two tidal lakes, making it the perfect spot for kayaking, fishing, boating, and swimming. Look out for peaceful holiday units, plus powered and unpowered caravan and camping sites with ocean views and easy access to the beach and lake.

Sapphire Coast

At the southern end of the NSW coast, the tranquil Sapphire Coast is home to the small town of Eden, one of the best places in Australia to spot humpback whales on their annual migration from May through September. Just outside town, waterfront holiday parks offer large powered and unpowered caravan sites, as well as a range of cabins, with access to camp kitchens. Forty minutes north, rustic Hobart Beach Campground in Bournda National Park has unpowered sites that make the perfect base for swimming, hiking, and exploring nearby secluded beaches.
