The best camping in South Coast

Name: South Coast
Address: South Coast
Rating: 4.8315

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.

Kioloa, NSW · 135 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

Wake up to the sounds of the waves crashing, mere footsteps away from Merry Beach in the small, beachside town of Kioloa, when you stay at Ingenia Holidays Merry Beach! With many sites and cabins offering direct beach access and ocean views, choose from an array of accommodation options including private villas, cabins or two-story presidential stays, or get back to nature on a powered or unpowered camping or caravan site. If you do decide to stray from the peaceful surrounds of Ingenia Holidays Merry Beach on the New South Wales South Coast, make the short trek to Murramarang National Park, where you can soak up nature by tackling one of the beach-hugging hiking trails. Back at home base, soak up the amenities which include a new playground and resort-style pool. While your togs and towel are definite packing essentials for this holiday park, don’t forget your camera to capture the local eastern grey kangaroos who call Merry Beach home.

Mystery Bay Campground

3. Mystery Bay Campground

Corunna, NSW · 165 sites · Tents, RVs

Mystery Bay Campground is a beautiful, primitive coastal campground surrounded by bushland and dramatic coastline on the NSW South Coast. Set among shady trees just moments from the beach, this is a back-to-basics camping experience for those who love being close to nature. Spend your days swimming, exploring the shoreline, wandering along the beach or simply relaxing at camp and enjoying the peaceful coastal surroundings. The campground sits near rugged coastal cliffs and rocky shoreline, which are part of what makes Mystery Bay so spectacular. Please take care when exploring, particularly around cliff edges, rocky areas and with children, and always keep a safe distance from exposed edges. Facilities here are primitive, so come prepared for a simple, low-key camping experience rather than the amenities of a holiday park. In return, you’ll be staying in a wonderfully natural setting with beaches, clear water and beautiful coastal scenery right on your doorstep. Mystery Bay is also a great base for exploring the wider Eurobodalla region, including nearby Narooma and Tilba. Whether you’re stopping in on a South Coast road trip or settling in for a few quiet days by the sea, it’s a special place to switch off, reconnect with nature and enjoy this wild stretch of coastline.

Calderwood, NSW · 11 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging

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 2025, many of the trails on the property have been degraded by the rains and are now challenging for 2WD cars. If you're towing or it's wet we recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles. Since this is coastal rainforest and it has been very wet, expect leeches anywhere it is damp. These are easily kept at bay with deet and or trousers tucked into socks. 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 had such a lovely at 'Mogo Creek Homestead'. Darcy & Stacey have a fantastic huge, very well maintained area for camping, with a stream & kayaks to use, fire pits and wood available. It’s lovely and peaceful, but still really close to the cute little shops in Mogo. Stacey & Darcy were very welcoming. Honestly, it’s a little slice of heaven. We’ll definitely be back and would highly recommend staying here to everyone. ❤️

Located right between Mogo township and Mitchell road trail access, you can ride straight from camp. Farm fresh eggs are available and delicious, the sites are ginormous, we stayed on 4 and got great arvo sunshine. Also has the nicest grass we have seen. Easy walk up to the distillery for awesome pizza and drinks. Thanks Stacey and Darcy, we will be back.

Great location close to Huskisson. We stayed in our 16ft caravan. Found a great level spot up the top. Large open area with firepits. Firewood available for $10 a bag. I had a question on arrival and Michael answered my call straight away. Directions were easy to follow. Will stay here again 😊
