Bendameer is a 100 acre hobby farm running beef cows on the South Coast. The farm is located just 15min drive to pristine beaches or 10min drive to national parks, walking tracks and swimming holes. We provide Elevated camp sites over looking Lake Illawarra and Warilla Beach or stay on the farm and enjoy bush walking to water fall and swimming holes plus heaps of other attractions close by.Arrive and meet Warren, Mandy and the family before being escorted to your elevated camp site on the eastern side of our property. Guests will need to be fully self contained with their own toilet/shower facilities and must take all waste and rubbish with them on departure. Over looking Lake Illawarra and the surrounding beaches. Set up your camp and enjoy the quiet surrounds, catch a glimpse of the wild life including deer, wallabies, wombats, kangaroos and bird life. Sit around an open fire with plenty of wood available or investigate surrounding activities including Jamberoo Recreation Park, down hill bike track, bushwalking, beaches, local coffee shops and restaurants.

We had a great Easter long weekend at the farm. The views were spectacular and the teens loved feeding the cows. The spot is peaceful and private. Thanks Warren and family.

Such a beautiful spot! Amazing views and a large clearing all to yourself. The hosts are super lovely and even let us feed their cows during our stay. Also a great location for exploring, we went to kiama, Wollongong and the mermaid pools using this as our base. Highly recommend :)

Perfect space over looking vally and surrounding area. Great host with as much interaction as you would like. Great access in and out of site, tight bridge on entry but would accommodate many vans and vehicles (Hilux with jayco crosstrak - no issues)

Such a convenient location. Love that it’s a one group site so it’s just us and our friends. A great base for exploring the waterfalls and rainforests in the area. Fire was lovely and the kids enjoyed rolling down the hill in their old tonka trucks. We’ll definitely stay again. Thanks Warren!

We absolutely love Warrens camp site, we had a hybrid and Jayco base station, both vans fit perfectly and plenty of room for the kids to run around. Nestled in the hills you have amazing views, and beaches are only a short drive away.. perfect location. This is our second time visiting warrens site and can honestly say we will be back for a third.

I loved camping here with distance view of the ocean and town lights at night with plenty of wood to collect for the campfire. Many attractions close by including the beaches. The host was welcoming and friendly 👍

Wow, it’s hard to describe in words how beautiful Warrens site is. Nestled in the hills with views of the town and the ocean, it’s truely amazing, best of both worlds, the country side and the beach so close. The Hosts are wonderful, very easy to talk to, and even took us to feed the cows, which was most definitely a highlight for my kids. No one wanted to go home, We will definitely be back.

Awesome place, great to have the whole thing to yourselves. Great view, lots of bushwalaktans exploring close by. Hosts were really nice and let our little ones feed the cows. A little steep and narrow at the entrance of you have a large caravan, but worth it.

Fantastic spot, really easy to find/get to. Great view with peaceful noises of cows in the distance. Lovely hosts offered our kids the experience of feeding the cows and left out fire wood. Level grassed area for camping.
