The best camping near St. Georges Basin with surfing

·

St. Georges Basin draws surfers with its easy access to rolling breaks along the coast and a line-up of campsites that know how to cater to board riders. You’ll find over 20 options here geared towards surfing, with sites tucked among native bushland and within easy reach of the water. The average night rings in at $30, with entry-level prices starting just as low. Crowd favourites include Misty Mountain Farm (183 reviews), Woodenhead Experiences (158 reviews), and Country Camping on the Coast (104 reviews). Pet-friendly policies mean your dog can tag along, and most sites allow campfires—ideal for warming up after a session. Showers are common, so you can wash off the salt before relaxing. Keep your eyes peeled for kangaroos at dawn. When the surf drops, there’s swimming and wildlife-watching to fill your day. It’s a straightforward set-up for anyone chasing waves on the New South Wales coast.
