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.

There is a flushing toilet, a hot shower, running (dam) water, and firepits but no electricity or refrigeration.

We will refund your booking fee if you choose to cancel, or we close the property, due to the weather (it will need to be bad for us to close the property, so you won’t want to be there anyway).

This property is in Northangera with the Mongarlowe River running along the boundary. It's covered in trees and provides a pristine environment amongst the "Scribbly Gums". It has flat areas with plenty of free timber for the designated fire pits. I have tried to create a haven for wildlife including Kangaroos, wombats, echidnas and platypus. I cherish the cleanliness of the river and surrounds and wish to be able to share this special environment with others who care to preserve all it offers. You can explore the property along the tracks, paddle, swim or fish in the river, enjoy the fauna, wildlife and birdlife.
Located not far from Braidwood, a town steeped in history, with good shopping, coffee shops and great food.
Sloping to flat land amongst the Scribbly Gum trees offering a number of sites and walks through the property. It provides both sun and shade. Access is good for vans of any size along a track through the bushland.
Lovely swimming spots in the Mongalowe River, beautiful clear water, and several lovely bushwalks around the property.
There is only Telstra reception available in this area.
We offer 7 different sites and the maximum stay is 7 nights.

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.

Note - bookings are by arrangement only.
BEFORE YOU BOOK - PLEASE MAKE SURE THIS PROPERTY IS RIGHT FOR YOU
1. CAPACITY - We are able to host only a single campsite comprising a single tent or caravan for no more than two nights duration only. This will ensure compliance with NSW State Govt regulations that are policed heavily by Eurobodalla Shire Council. Please do not plan to erect a second tent – this may result in a fine that we will pass on to you. We apologise if this prohibits your larger family and small group from enjoying our property.
2. SITE AMENITIES - The camp is best suited to adventurous campers with swags, tents, rooftops, light camping trailers and small popup caravans. There is a flushing toilet, a hot shower, running (dam) water, and firepits but no electricity or refrigeration. We have fire pits available for guests use, please ensure there are no restrictions in place before lighting a campfire in the designated firepit. Firewood is available at additional cost.
3. ROAD ACCESS - The last couple of km of dirt track are undulating and dusty, but perfectly fine for all vehicles in dry conditions. Access and exit will become challenging for larger motorhomes and caravans, heavy camping trailers and 2WD vehicles (especially front-wheel-drive), after periods of heavy or prolonged rain. We will refund your booking fee if you choose to cancel, or we close the property, due to the weather (it will need to be bad for us to close the property, so you won’t want to be there anyway). Please message us in advance for advice if you are concerned about the weather or vehicle access.
4. PETS - Well behaved pets are welcome but must be controlled and cleaned up after.

Very tranquil, lovely views with a creek. Grass was a plus which was well maintained. You could stay creek level or higher for more expansive views. Elsie was very welcoming and her doggos. Milton was a charming town only 5 mins drive away.
We were there in heavy rain which made the lower levels access road a bit challenging. Elsie was very accommodating and let us move to a higher site.

We stayed at Country Camping on the Coast for 4 nights and 5 days in January with a group of 4 people, and it was an absolutely fantastic experience.
The campsite was plenty spacious and comfortably suited the recommended maximum of four people. The ground was decently flat, making it perfect for swags or tents with no trouble at all. The site has a great balance of shade and sun — while we did experience some heavy rain at night, we were still able to enjoy lots of sunshine during the day, which made a big difference.
Privacy here is excellent. Aside from the occasional car passing down the road, it felt very peaceful and secluded. The only people you’re likely to see are Ian, who is an absolutely amazing bloke and a great host, or his two lovely little inspectors🐕 who occasionally stop by to check on things, they’re very friendly so make sure to say hello.
This is a self-maintained campsite, so there’s no power, toilets, or showers, but that wasn’t an issue at all. A petrol station is only 2 minutes away, and the closest town is about 5–10 minutes down the road, which makes supplies easy to access.
The location is excellent, being close to Basin View and Sussex, which allowed us to enjoy kayaking, swimming, fishing, and plenty of relaxing. Wildlife is abundant around camp — we saw bulls, cows, sheep, birds, and other animals, which really added that country feel.
Any small issues we had were resolved swiftly and easily by Ian. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beautiful peaceful location. Sites were neatly maintained with a fire pit and small wood pile. Directions to the property were very clear. Possibly numbering the sites would be helpful as I'm not sure that we set up on the site that we booked as we had no directions where to head upon arrival. In all fairness, we arrived an hour later than I had estimated due to an electric issue with our car/caravan. I did send a message relaying this. We were unable to contact anyone when we arrived. Ended up going for a wander and setting up in a beautiful spot.
We have a 7 metre caravan with a 4WD and had no issue with the small, step grassy hill mentioned. If there had been rain we would probably have needed to put it in 4WD for better traction.
Would highly recommend for a peaceful getaway that's still not too far from the beach or town if you're looking for something extra to do.

We absolutely loved camping on Kate’s property. There is so much space, acres of lush land that feel open, calm, and beautifully maintained. Waking up to the sounds of animals in the morning was a real highlight and made the experience feel very peaceful. We barely heard the noise of the road despite being close to it.
The location is excellent, with very easy access to the popular beaches around the Jervis Bay area. A big plus for us was that the camping is dog-friendly, and the generous space between sites meant we never felt crowded or too close to other campers. Kate took the time to introduce us to her animals, the goaties, alpacas, and donkeys which was such a special touch. Overall a relaxing and memorable camping spot that we’d happily return to.

We had a wonderful four days at Pitch and Putt. Elsie is lovely and the site was perfect for us. There is plenty of flat space for tents / camp set up, and it’s a close walk to the river - which was perfect as I wasn’t worried about the kids jumping in without us knowing.
The site doesn’t have much shade in the middle of the day so it does get quite hot, although we were there during a heat wave, so this probably wouldn’t be an issue most of the time. It’s surrounded beautiful tall gumtrees, and you really feel like you’re in the middle of the bush despite being a 10 minute drive to the beach and close to all the great food and wine in Milton.

The best camping near Sussex Inlet with hiking guide
Where to go
Booderee National Park
Situated on Aboriginal land, Booderee National Park sits directly across the inlet. Hike to a beach-side campground that offers access to fresh water, toilets, and cold showers. Or get cosy in the caravan and enjoy a drive-in pitch with nearby hot showers and sheltered BBQ areas. After a good night’s rest, visit Cape St. George Lighthouse and wander along the numerous sandy beaches. With several activities to choose from, campers have their pick when it comes to whale watching, surfing, fishing, scuba diving, or snorkelling.
Jervis Bay National Park
Just under an hour from Sussex Inlet, Jervis Bay National Park offers world-class whale watching and sumptuous white-sand beaches. While there’s no camping inside the park, there is a variety of accommodations in the nearby village of Huskisson, from cabin rentals to holiday parks for tents and caravans. After setting up, check out Bull Hole Lookout, paddle Coonemia Creek, or saunter down the Hyams Beach Trail or Hare Point walking track.
Budderoo National Park
Head roughly two hours north to Budderoo National Park and get settled into a campground equipped with basic amenities like toilets and picnic tables, as well as easy access to Kangaroo River. Adventure over to Nellies Glen Picnic Area or conquer the Minnamurra Falls walk and Carrington Falls walking track—all of which reward hikers with outstanding waterfalls at the end of the journey. For more stunning views, head to Jamberoo Lookout—and don’t forget the camera!
When to go
The balmy summers of Sussex Inlet are perfect for visits to the beachy paradise of Jervis Bay National Park or aquatic adventures at Booderee National Park. As temperatures start to drop when autumn and winter roll around, wildlife watching opportunities quickly rise. Whales migrate just off the coast from May to November while rare birds head home for mating season in Budderoo National Park. The spring season brings gifts, too—swathes of colourful wildflowers come to life throughout the park’s grassy areas, making picture-perfect backgrounds and stunning hiking scenery.
