45km from Stanwell Tops · 17 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · 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 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.

Look for the small orange arrow - it's pointing to the property which sits on a ridge line that leads right to the top of the escarpment.

45km from Stanwell Tops · 17 sites · Tents, RVs, Lodging · 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 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.

Where to go

Symbio Wildlife Park

Campers with families will want to plan a fun day at Symbio Wildlife Park. This private zoo and wildlife park offers opportunities to feed kangaroos, cool off in a splash park, or run off energy at an on-site playground. Reserve a pitch nearby at holiday parks that welcome pets, allow campfires, and provide toilets and water hookups. Or find cabin rentals near the beach for a cosier stay. Families who want to see the animals at their liveliest can visit during spring or autumn. However, the park is open year-round.

Dharawal National Park

Take an easy day trip from Stanwell Tops to Dharawal National Park. View the mystical waters of Madden Falls in winter after a short bush walk that is perfect for families, or pedal down the 10B cycling trail in spring to catch a glimpse of a yellow-tailed black cockatoo in the outback. Private campsites are abundant near the park with tent sites or glamping options at holiday parks that give campers access to hot showers at vacation rentals, power hookups for caravan sites, and beachfront cabins for families and groups.

Royal National Park

Campers will find almost too many outdoor activities at Royal National Park. Home to kookaburras, beaches, waterfalls, and coastal bushwalking trails, the park offers nearly 60 square miles of natural Australian outback, including a challenging trek to Figure Eight Pools. Cycle down trails, watch whales from clifftops, or spend a lazy day fishing from the shore. Then find unpowered private pitches inside the park as well as powered sites for the caravan or trailer. The campgrounds also provide picnic tables, drinking water, showers, toilets, and BBQ facilities.

When to go

Summer months bring crowds to Stanwell Tops for its sunny skies and hot temperatures. Hipcampers looking for a holiday at the beach during the school break will enjoy visiting in December or January. Those seeking smaller crowds and cooler weather should visit in spring or fall, especially if wildlife viewing is at the top of the adventure list.
