The best romantic campgrounds near Tathra, New South Wales

Set on the shores of Boulder Bay in the south coast, Tathra promises campers prime coastal views, sandy beaches, and excellent fishing. This seaside town may be on the smaller side, but the abundance of natural activities and national parks make it a haven for camping. Tathra beachside accommodations vary from rustic campsites for motorhomes to glamping in cosy cabins and safari tents. After a good night’s sleep, zip across the bridge to Mimosa Rocks National Park to scuba dive to shipwrecks and birdwatch along the shoreline before jetting off to Bournda National Park. Spend the day here trekking along the coastline while watching for more local bird species. Beowa National Park highlights even more wildlife, with incredible whale watching from a historical lighthouse.

We purchased our 200-acre property after it was heavily impacted by the Summer 2019/20 bushfires. As newcomers to farming, we’re learning what it means to live and work on the land. The property came with a flock of sheep—who continue to teach us new things every day—and we share the farm with our incredibly friendly kelpie, Sage. We’re keen to move toward organic farming, do our part for the environment, and embrace a more sustainable lifestyle. We grow herbs and vegetables, tend a small collection of fruit trees, and are excited to plant many more. We’ve fallen in love with farm life and hope our property becomes a place of learning, enjoyment, and shared experiences. So Good Farm is located 25 minutes west of Pambula Beach on the Sapphire Coast. Surrounded by trees and rich with wildlife, the property features a creek running through it and a spring-fed dam. There are plenty of walking tracks across the hilly landscape, offering stunning views from various points—especially from the peak, for those willing to take on the climb. The property also borders a national park. The nearest town is just five minutes away, where you’ll find food supplies and fuel.

Weekend Trip to So Good Farm

My mum and I stayed in one of the glamping So Good over the weekend while we visited friends in Pambula, and had the best time! The property is absolutely gorgeous, Bec & Stu are so much fun, and the facilities they’ve built are just magical. 100% recommend.

A fabulous place that we would love to visit again. The glamping tent was put to the test with hours of heavy rain and passed - we were dry, warm and cosy inside. The surrounds are beautiful and peaceful, whilst the camp kitchen and sitting area is well equipped and cosy. Bec was an amazing host, making sure we had everything we needed, lending us equipment and providing tips on where to visit. We have no hesitation in recommending So Good Farm to others.

The site was perfect, we had our caravan facing the creek to take in the surrounding views, it was private and secluded.. the property offered open spaces to walk our dogs, the river also a haven for swims and observing the bird life. The compost toilet was private, clean and a welcome nessesity at a Hipcamp site if your not completely off grip as a camper! The proximity to surrounding towns is surprisingly close by for small day trips. Yet the location of this stay is completely emerged In nature, quiet and calm. The locally communizes are very welcoming. The communal kitchen was excellent, great facilities and a good opportunity to meet other campers!! Shanti and Sol are such warm hosts, very generous and welcoming. This was our first hip camp experience and it was an excellent start.. we will be back !!

Best experience - different league to all other places we found. Rebecca's and Stuart's passion and excitement about nature regeneration as well as enriching guest experience are contagious. Beautiful camp sites, glorious vistas, inspiring walks, very tasteful common areas and the most beautiful outdoor/indoor shower... Our kids and us loved it so much we were back within a week.

Great setup in the caravan with lots of little bits and pieces for cooking etc, having a tap with drinking water and a gas cooker was really helpful. Nice quiet spot with lots of space for a tent as well. Creek was great to cool off in, kids loved it and want to come back, really lovely and thoughtful hosts.

I loved camping at the tent sites, the location was amazing and the views are beautiful. It was so relaxing, peaceful and tranquil.

Our dogs loved the open space loved. Bec and Stuart were the best host. They are so welcoming and friendly. We left feeling so refreshed and charged up. If we get a chance will definitely be back!

The best romantic camping 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.
