Retreat, relax, REWILD! Camp out in the hinterland of the stunning Sapphire Coast. Situated about 30 km inland from Eden, in the magical Towamba Valley, Rock Lily Springs has a lot to offer—seclusion, sweeping views, tracks through the bush, encounters with the (not-so-wild) wildlife, and golden moments. Maybe it's the last light of the sun colouring the sky, the moon rising big and bold over the fire pit, or the hush of the bush at first light before the birds begin their chorus... You’ll know it when it settles over you. What to expect: Suitable for tents and RVs. There are two main sites offering views that could easily accommodate more than one tent or vehicle. Currently, there are no toilets or showers—you will need to bring a camp toilet, etc. You will also need to take all waste and rubbish with you. We can: • provide rainwater from our tanks and water from our spring, which is suitable for showering and washing up • offer an evening round the fire pit, if the conditions are suitable • make a gas barbecue available, if you let us know • provide a picnic table and chairs for up to four people • a grazing basket for your arrival by prior arrangement.

Jenny and Arthur were great hosts, who made sure we were settled in with enough firewood to keep us going. We had a lovely grassy area to camp on all to ourselves over the New Year period and it was so private and peaceful. We brought our SUPs with us which came in handy as we were able to paddle across to the sandbar from the boat ramp (an easy swim) which was a great place to set up for the afternoon. Sightings of the resident wombats and deer was an added bonus.

Fred and Helen were absolutely amazing hosts. This was our very first Hipcamp booking, and it felt so special to also be the first Hipcampers at Rock Lily Springs. From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed and relaxed. We originally booked for just one night, but after waking up to the breathtaking views and exploring the beautiful surroundings around the Eden area, we couldn’t bring ourselves to leave—so we happily extended our stay for another night. There’s so much to see and do nearby, and the property itself is peaceful, spacious, and perfect for switching off and enjoying nature. Fred and Helen’s kindness and genuine hospitality really made our stay memorable. And a big thank you to Bella and Rosie, the two lovely dogs, for keeping us company and making us feel right at home. We’re so grateful for this experience and can’t recommend Rock Lily Springs enough. We’ll definitely be back and hope to see you all again soon!

Sooo much space — it very peaceful because the camps are so spread out and there were no bindis in the soft green lawn so we were barefoot the whole time. The river was warm and the perfect depth at low tide for our sausages dogs who love to swim. There are heaps of fish swimming around you as you swim. The hosts were very welcoming and accomodating. We had an amazing picturesque sunset on our last night.

Weekend Trip to Kiah Wilderness Camp

We absolutely loved camping with Jenny and Arthur. Arthur met us on the highway and escorted us to our site. The site was huge and level with mown green grass. For a small additional price, you can access potable water and power, which we did not need on our weekend trip, but is great for those planning a longer stay. The river ran up to the site. Unfortunately, the weather was too cold for swimming, but the water looked inviting. The toilet was a long drop, but it was immaculate, with tap water for washing your hands. The wildlife was diverse, and spotting the different birds and animals was a fun activity. I would thoroughly recommend Kiah Wilderness Camp.

1 night at Thurra Bush Camping

If you want to get away from the maddening crowd and completely turn off from your tech, this is the spot. Immersing myself in the isolation, the only sounds coming from nature and being able to sit by the rushing river or sit on the loo while looking at the bush, gave me the most alive feeling. The spot is perfect with the cleared circle and excellent fire pit all bringing such a sense of peace. Even heard a lyrebird go through its paces.

The best private sites caravan parks near Mallacoota guide

Where to go

Croajingolong National Park

Granite cliffs, rocky headlands, and white-sand beaches stretch along the coast at Croajingolong National Park, just a short drive south of Mallacoota. Paddle around the inlets in a kayak or canoe, hike along rugged coastal trails, and look out for wildlife, including koalas, platypuses, whales, and more than 300 species of bird. The five national park campgrounds have unpowered sites with BBQs, picnic tables, and non-flush toilets.

Gabo Island

Marooned off the coast of Mallacoota and Cape Howe, Gabo Island is known for its rocky shores, diverse wildlife, and historic lighthouse. Cruise out to the island by boat or take a short seaplane flight and spot Little Penguins, dolphins, and whales around the jetty. Glampers can even stay overnight in the old lighthouse keepers’ cottage.

Coopracambra National Park

If you’re looking to escape the crowds, Coopracambra National Park is the place. This is one of Victoria’s most remote and rugged conservation areas, where you can hike along wilderness trails or explore off-road in a 4WD. Bush camping is permitted within the park, but there are no facilities, so you’ll need to bring everything you need with you.

When to go

Blessed with cool summer breezes and the warmest winter temperatures in all of Victoria, Mallacoota is a year-round destination for outdoor adventurers. Summer is the best time to hit the beach, and the small town fills up with vacationers over the Christmas and Easter holidays. To avoid the crowds, come in late spring or early autumn instead, when it’s still warm enough to swim.
