This property is in Northangera with the Mongarlowe River running along the boundary. It's covered in trees and provides a pristine environment amongst the "Scribbly Gums". It has flat areas with plenty of free timber for the designated fire pits. I have tried to create a haven for wildlife including Kangaroos, wombats, echidnas and platypus. I cherish the cleanliness of the river and surrounds and wish to be able to share this special environment with others who care to preserve all it offers. You can explore the property along the tracks, paddle, swim or fish in the river, enjoy the fauna, wildlife and birdlife. Located not far from Braidwood, a town steeped in history, with good shopping, coffee shops and great food. Sloping to flat land amongst the Scribbly Gum trees offering a number of sites and walks through the property. It provides both sun and shade. Access is good for vans of any size along a track through the bushland. Lovely swimming spots in the Mongalowe River, beautiful clear water, and several lovely bushwalks around the property. There is only Telstra reception available in this area. We offer 7 different sites and the maximum stay is 7 nights.

Imagine a mesmerizing camping destination nestled along the banks of the serene Clyde river. Towering trees provide a natural canopy overhead, dappling sunlight onto the lush forest floor. The tranquil sound of water gently flowing creates a soothing ambiance, perfect for relaxation. Picture yourself setting up camp near the riverbank, with the refreshing breeze carrying the scent of wildflowers. As the day fades into night, marvel at the starlit sky mirrored on the shimmering surface of the river. It's a breathtaking experience that seamlessly blends nature's beauty with the joy of outdoor living. Brooman rests approximately half way between Ulladulla and Batemans Bay on the fresh water section of the Clyde River. The property stretches south on both sides of the river from the Old Sawmill Town located at its northern end. Brooman is a working farm and encompasses lots of beautiful spaces, restored old buildings, two small mountains, fertile river flats, native forests, grasslands, deep water holes, tree covered rapid sections of river and sweeping views. Brooman is less than 30 minutes drive to some of the most beautiful beaches on the south coast. Shallow Crossing is 10 minutes to the south. North is Pigeon House car park, Yadboro and the base of The Castle. To the West there are hundreds of kilometres of Forestry and National Park roads through some of the most spectacular forested mountain country east of the Coastal Range. The Clyde River Berry Farm is just minutes down the road. Local fish and chips, great coffee and handmade bread is 25mins drive at Burrill Lake. Some of the best restaurants and bars on the coast are less than 40 minutes drive at Milton and Mollymook. If you are looking to relax and recharge in nature or explore amazing country, then Brooman is it.

We have fire pits available for guests use, please ensure there are no restrictions in place before lighting a campfire in the designated firepit. Firewood is available at additional cost. 3. ROAD ACCESS - The last couple of km of dirt track are undulating and dusty, but perfectly fine for all vehicles in dry conditions. Access and exit will become challenging for larger motorhomes and caravans, heavy camping trailers and 2WD vehicles (especially front-wheel-drive), after periods of heavy or prolonged rain. We will refund your booking fee if you choose to cancel, or we close the property, due to the weather (it will need to be bad for us to close the property, so you won’t want to be there anyway). Please message us in advance for advice if you are concerned about the weather or vehicle access. 4. PETS - Well behaved pets are welcome but must be controlled and cleaned up after.

Whynot is a bush block at Nerriga, only 10 minutes from the Nerriga Pub and Oallen Ford. There are no facilities so you'll need to be self sufficient and you'll need to have your own camping toilet, and leave no trace.This corner of the world features fantastic mountain air, undulating hills and pockets of forest. Nerriga is a small locality and there is a pub serving meals, which is popular with day tourists. For outdoor adventure lovers, there is Morton National Park which is great for a daytrip or excursion.

Wake up to the sounds of the waves crashing, mere footsteps away from Merry Beach in the small, beachside town of Kioloa, when you stay at Ingenia Holidays Merry Beach! With many sites and cabins offering direct beach access and ocean views, choose from an array of accommodation options including private villas, cabins or two-story presidential stays, or get back to nature on a powered or unpowered camping or caravan site. If you do decide to stray from the peaceful surrounds of Ingenia Holidays Merry Beach on the New South Wales South Coast, make the short trek to Murramarang National Park, where you can soak up nature by tackling one of the beach-hugging hiking trails. Back at home base, soak up the amenities which include a new playground and resort-style pool. While your togs and towel are definite packing essentials for this holiday park, don’t forget your camera to capture the local eastern grey kangaroos who call Merry Beach home.

What an amazing property for campers! Peaceful, well maintained property, with welcomed powered sites by the river with really close access to the river via boat ramp. Ross and Lisa are exceptionally welcoming hosts and ultimately main contributors to the wonderful experience. The only regret we had was our stay of 3 nights was too short! Will definitely be taking the time to get back to Ross and Lisa’s great camping grounds.

What a beautiful spot! I will say that I found the drive in quite stressful with my little 2WD sedan and I did get lost finding the place, but once I was there all my worries went away. Beautiful spot right next to the river. Saw a Kangaroo and a Wombat and loved just relaxing by the river with a beautiful mountain in the background. There were a few other people booked into other campsites but I barely saw them. Was beautifully secluded.

The best camping in Budawang National Park, NSW guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure at Budawang National Park, a haven for experienced bushwalkers and nature enthusiasts. Traverse steep mountainsides, explore tall moist forests, and enjoy the solitude of river camping. With opportunities for hiking, swimming, and scenic views, this park promises a true escape into the wild.

Notable campgrounds

  • Long Gully campground: Nestled by the Yadboro River, this site offers a rustic camping experience for self-sufficient travellers.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early to secure your spot, as the remote nature of the park means limited availability.
  • Check the park's official website for the most up-to-date information on campground openings and reservation procedures.
  • Be flexible with your dates, as some periods may be more popular than others.
  • Explore nearby camping options to maximise your chances of finding a site during peak times.

When to go

The best time to visit Budawang National Park is during autumn, with clear weather ideal for hiking, or spring, when the warmer climate is perfect for camping. Winter offers cosy drives amid the park's scenic ranges, while summer provides lush greenery and vibrant wildlife.

Know before you go

  • Ensure you're well-prepared with sufficient water and survival gear for the park's challenging terrain.
  • Be aware of park closures due to poor weather or fire danger by checking local alerts before your visit.
  • Mobile phone reception is limited, so plan accordingly and inform someone of your travel itinerary.
  • Pets and smoking are not permitted within the park to preserve its natural beauty and wildlife.
  • Remember to leave no trace and respect the park's unique ecosystems and heritage.
