Pitch your tent or park your campertrailer in the native bushland with the pristine Numeralla River as your boundary fence. This 3000 acre property is located close to Nimmitabel and not too far from Cooma.
Try your hand at trout fishing and enjoy endless tracks for bushwalking and observing the native wildlife. Wander along the river banks just enjoying the serenity of the location and witness platypus feeding, water dragons sunning themselves and the brown trout fly feeding and one of Australia's beautiful but lesser known native rodents, Rakali (intelligent semi aquatic water rat who's scientific name translates to golden -bellied water mouse). One of Australia's two aquatic mammals, the platypus being the other.
This campsite suits self-contained campers who bring their own camping toilet/shower. IF NO CHEMICAL TOILET, DIG A HOLE AT LEAST 30CM DEEP .
There is access to a drinking water supply (mountain river water), or you can bring your own water. After heavy rain you may need to boil/filter for drinking.
You will need a 4WD to access the campsites closest to the river as there is a shallow gully crossing. Camper trailer or off road pop up campers will be able to negoiate the tracks. Good clearance necessary to pass over one gully crossing.
Dogs are welcome, however, we do run sheep in an adjoining paddock so they need to stay close to your camp.
Kids aged 16 and under camp for free.
There is a dedicated campfire pit so you can stay warm on chilly evenings (please check to see if there is a seasonal fire ban in place). Fire wood can be provided - chainsaws are permitted but be mindful of structures that are animal habitats.
Your family may enjoy taking a bushwalk that takes you around the 300 acre native bush paddock. Climb up and get a birds eye view down into a gully of magnificent granite boulders above where the river disappears deep below. Identify the unique sounds of the native birds and follow the tracks wildlife create. We are centrally located - just 1.5 hours from the snowfields and from the best beaches of the NSW coastline.
There is a small general store, 2 takeaway cafes and a pub at Nimmitabel, or you can get all supplies in Cooma 25 mins away. Please note that we have very limited reception service for mobiles, so let's communicate via messages before you arrive in our area.
I can provide a camping setup if you need extra bedding or you don't have any camping equipment or tent.

3 m pop-up camper
With pets
Wow, this is exactly as described plus more! We had the most relaxing private peaceful stay over 3 nights by the river. We watched the fish constantly jumping, even a stingray cruise by. The birdlife was abundant, with a kingfisher visiting! We had an open fire with wood that was almost too good to burn! Our border collie had a ball too. Brook Glen and Cash were incredibly friendly and accommodating. They look after their land exquisitely. The description is exactly as stated being unpowered, and the directions are easy to follow and very clearly communicated by Brook. It has to be the most peaceful river frontage camp we’ve ever experienced and we are so thankful that this young family are kindly sharing the opportunity. The price is incredible value considering all these factors! We would love to return and will tell all our camping friends!

We had such a relaxing, wholesome weekend at Glennbrooke River Camp. We were lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves, and enjoyed sitting by the fire, listening to the birds sing and the fish splash in the river. We even had the cows come down to the paddock near our site to have a graze, our dog was so interested in them. Brooke and her family are so lovely and hospitable and we wish we could’ve stayed longer. We’ll be back 😊

Church Point was a beautiful spot, easy to find, plenty of flat ground and access to a lovely bend in the river. Easy trip in to Bodalla for a meal at the pub or ice creams for the kids at the Dairy Shed. Only downside is the lack of shade to pitch the tent in, but plenty of shade by the river to escape the heat of the day. Will definitely be back, thanks Darren and Sharon for sharing your beautiful place!

Our first night was a bit hairy as the January storms peels through Narooma! But fortunately, the pub in Narooma is spot on and 5 mins down the road. When we woke, we were surprised to find the paddock drained incredibly well and we had no issues with mud or ensuring our caravan was stable.
Fortunately the rain eased up the next day and after a trip into see the seals and Bodalla (a must go to town), we settled into Anchorage early afternoon, we had the paddock to ourselves, lit a fire, watch wallabies and wombats float freely around Mark’s paddock, then capped it off with some great star gazing.
Mark was an incredible host, saving us from disaster and lending his generator after our awning was unable to retract after a flat caravan battery (rookie error by me)!
Would recommend for a cheap, peaceful paddock, and remarkably close to sleepy Narooma which is a great town.

Very easy access and well signed to get to your spot. The amount of space on the paddocks is crazy and nice and flat. We got lucky and were the only ones there, very quite and have fire pits at spots, we were unlucky to use them due TFB.
Perfect location to do your day trips from and take your small tinny or kayak.

The best dog-friendly caravan sites near Tathra guide
Where to go
Mimosa Rocks National Park
Just across Bega River sits Mimosa Rocks National Park, only a 10-minute drive from Tathra. Find holiday parks for tents, camper trailers, and caravans in the area with on-site amenities like picnic tables, BBQ facilities, and toilets. Avid divers can wake up and scuba dive to the Paddle Steamer Mimosa, a shipwreck that lays just off the coast, while beginners can swim, snorkel, and fish in Moon Bay or Nelson Lagoon. Take in the picturesque views from a variety of different headlands, and watch for waterfowl along the shoreline year-round.
Bournda National Park
Found 15 minutes south of Tathra, Bournda National Park abounds with outdoor activities. Kayak the Bournda Lagoon or the waters of Wallagoot Lake before sauntering down Sandy Creek loop track, then keep an eye on the trees for native bird species while walking. Bournda campgrounds welcome swags, tents, camper trailers, and campervans with a range of facilities and amenity blocks with flush toilets, showers, and BBQ areas.
Beowa National Park
The stunning rocky coastline of Beowa National Park sits an hour and a half from Tathra. Take on Boyds Tower walking track, a favourite for beginners, or conquer the multi-day Light to Light walk for experts. History buffs can check out Green Cape Lighthouse, where wildlife watchers can also scan the seas for migrating whales. Campgrounds in the park offer basic amenities, but there are more luxurious accommodations available too. Take a break from the tent and get pampered in a bunkhouse or heated cottage vacation rental with bathrooms, fully equipped kitchens, and fresh linens.
When to go
Every season in Tathra offers something special, which makes it a first-rate choice for year-round camping trips. Feathered friends flock to Mimosa Rocks National Park throughout the year, and if whale watching is top priority, plan to visit in spring between September and November. The hot and humid summers that last from December until March are an ideal time for beach lounging and exploring the waterways in Bournda National Park. Campgrounds will be at peak capacity in summer, so plan ahead and reserve a pitch when possible.
