Escape to Wattle & Wave Hip Camp, a peaceful 1500 sqm coastal bush block overlooking the ocean. Set along quiet Thompson Drive just minutes from Tathra Beach, this secluded haven combines the best of both worlds — nature, adventure, and relaxation. Wake up to the sound of kookaburras and the distant crash of waves. Watch the sunrise over the ocean from your campsite, surrounded by native wattles, gums, and visiting kangaroos. At night, enjoy wide open skies perfect for stargazing and listening to the rustle of the bush. Bring your bikes or hiking shoes — this is a rider’s paradise. From your campsite, you can roll straight into the Tathra Mountain Bike Trails, one of the Sapphire Coast’s most scenic and flowing trail networks. Whether you’re here for adventure or tranquility, there’s a rhythm here that invites you to slow down and reconnect. It’s only a 3-minute drive or 15-minute walk to Tathra Beach, and just 5 minutes by bike if you prefer the scenic route. The Bega River and nearby estuaries offer fishing, paddling, and swimming, while Tathra’s village cafés, pub, and shops are close enough for a relaxed lunch or supplies run — yet far enough that you’ll feel worlds away once you return to camp. Facilities & Access Large 1500 sqm cleared site with ocean views Room for tents, campervans, or small off-grid setups Running water available (bring your own tap fittings and hose if needed) No power, toilets, or showers — self-contained campers only Flat ground and easy vehicle access (2WD accessible in dry weather) Campfires permitted in designated areas (seasonal restrictions apply) What you’ll love ✔ Peaceful, private, and quiet setting ✔ Ocean breezes and native wildlife all around ✔ Direct connection to the Tathra mountain bike network ✔ Perfect base for beach days, bush walks, and river paddles ✔ Just minutes to Tathra’s surf beach, cafés, and general store If you’re looking for a simple, scenic, and authentic coastal camping experience — with nature at your doorstep and adventure just down the track — Wattle & Wave Hip Camp is the perfect place to unwind, explore, and reconnect.Guests have the entire block to themselves — plenty of flat, open space to set up tents, a rooftop camper, or a van or 2, surrounded by native trees and ocean breezes. The site offers privacy, peace, and sweeping views of the coastline. Access is via Thompson Drive, Tathra, with a clear, sealed entry and easy turnaround space on the block. The ground is firm and generally suitable for 2WD vehicles in dry conditions. There is access to running water on site, ideal for washing up or filling containers (please bring your own tap fitting or hose). The site does not have power, toilets, or showers, so guests must be fully self-contained and take all waste with them when leaving. Activities are right on your doorstep: Mountain bike riders can head straight from camp to connect with the Tathra Mountain Bike Trail network, just a short pedal away. Beach lovers can enjoy a 5-minute bike ride or 15-minute walk to Tathra Beach for swimming, surfing, or fishing. Nature explorers can wander through the bush and nearby tracks to spot kangaroos, wallabies, and native birdlife. The Bega River is only a few minutes away for kayaking or peaceful picnics. At night, relax under a wide sky full of stars, surrounded by the sounds of the ocean and the bush — a quiet and rejuvenating escape in the heart of the Sapphire Coast.

Doesn’t match the description

Tent

Pretty much just a gravel car park on the side of someone’s driveway. Might be ok if you’re just looking for somewhere to pull up and sleep for the night but certainly doesn’t match the description given. My son and I chose a 3 hour drive home rather than stay the night.
