We had a lovely time at So Much Grass. It was our very first stop on our lap of Aus. It’s lovely and quiet, lots of space to choose your preferred setup. Close by to Sussex Inlet town but then when you’re there feels like there’s nothing around at all. Would recommend. Thanks for having us!

We loved camping at Mark's property. There was a huge amount of space to choose from and the grass was kept well maintained, so the kids could run around and play. The goats next door kept our kids entertained. We stayed for four nights and there were only a couple of other campers on the property during our stay. However, they were quite a distance away so the place felt very private. Would definitely recommend this camp.

Great quiet place. Dana is a great host. Did a bit of bush walking that is on property. Dana will give you a map which helps. Highly recommend if you want a place to chill out.

Weekend Trip to Noonameena - Sleep in the Bush

Very peaceful. Yes you can hear the highway traffic all hours but it’s not significant enough to worry you. Lovely hosts. The only negative is the lack of signage. I think the sites should be numbered or named and allocated. The pathways through the bush to the river should also be sign posted, not easy to navigate, i can see visitors getting lost . Would I come back? Definitely

What a great spot to take it easy, Dana was the best with a great welcome. What a wonderful place to camp. Walk to the River it does takes a little effort to get down there but worth it, and not far from Berrima to walk around the town and have lunch at the pub. Lots of fire wood you just have to look for it. Thanks again, we stayed 9 nights lots of star to see while sitting around a fire. We will be back as not for from Sydney.

Our pup loved learning to practise her recall

So Much Grass is a nice & quiet spot, very basic- no amenities but a beautiful peaceful feel. The hosts Lynn & Mark very really good at communicating, answering any questions I had & welcoming us on arrival. While we were there, mother nature decided to dump a good 50mm on the area, so that made getting out a tad tricky, but it was a very isolated weather event. Otherwise our stay was amazing.

It was quiet and tucked out of the way of civilisation. Dana was very helpful in pointing out a great spot for us to camp on her property. Fire pits were available to use to minimise damage to the property.

Quiet, secluded but you feel safe, room galore, shade if you want it. Close to Sussex Inlet and about 25 mins from Huskisson. Basically a couple of nice paddocks with grass cut for campsites in several areas. $60 for 2 people a bit on pricey side, but it was Easter. Mark's mum Lynn looked after us very well.
