At Kookaburra, we ensure all our guests enjoy privacy and space. However, do bear in mind you're in a shared space and you might see other groups around. We operate on a self-sufficient model, so please remember to dispose of your rubbish responsibly and, of course, leave no trace in nature. Our farm family includes curious and friendly cows, free-roaming chickens and a delightful pig – they might even come say hello when you first pull in! Come join us at Kookaburra for a weekend getaway or an overnight stop. You're always welcome to drive in, pass the house and park in the back paddock. We're generally around if you need anything, but a simple wave is enough! Please note that if you plan to arrive after dark, do let us know in advance so we can provide any necessary arrangements. We allow fires (subject to Fire Danger Ratings), and you can even cut your own firewood! We love pets too, so bring them along, remembering to supervise them around the farm animals and wildlife. Remember – at Kookaburra, phone reception is limited (pretty much non-existent), so be sure to come prepared. And although a 2WD vehicle generally suffices, adverse weather may require a 4WD. Don't forget to bring pest repellent, watch out for those wombat holes and keep an eye out for tree stumps and snakes! We can't wait for you to experience the magic Kookaburra has in store!

Mellows Ridge

9 sites · RVs, Tents40 acres · Calderwood, NSW

Nestled right up against the escarpment this high-end, off-grid 40 acre property effectively offers your own private slice of Macquarie Pass National Park - amazing views, giant cedar trees, fern forests, cascading waterfalls and palms surround. It feels remote but it's only 90 min from Sydney, 30 min to Kiama and just 15 min to the shops. The property also offers the only hiking path up to the top of the escarpment for some truly amazing views. As of September 2024, all the trails on the property have been massively upgraded and are passable with a 2WD car. If you're towing or it's wet we still recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles. We've just (mid December) added a spa half way up the driveway. It can be booked through the deluxe extra. We're not particularly price sensitive - until all those rate rises - but we are extremely value sensitive so we set out to make your stay extremely good value for your hard earned money. The land itself does most of the heavy lifting but also personal service and of course there's Lana to fall in love with.

Camping near Shoalhaven Heads guide

Overview

The picturesque coastal village of Shoalhaven Heads might be one of New South Wales’s most underrated getaways. Perched at the mouth of the Shoalhaven River, looking out across Berry’s Bay, it’s hemmed in by the forested peak of Mount Coolangatta and the sand dunes of Seven Mile Beach National Park. Once you’ve enjoyed surfing, kitesurfing, or horseback riding along the beach, go wine tasting at the Coolangatta Estate, sample oysters fresh from the Shoalhaven River estuary, or try fishing along the river. You can also ride the car ferry across Berry’s Canal to go bird-watching at Comerong Island Nature Reserve, or take a day trip to Jervis Bay or Budderoo National Parks. Campers have a wide variety of options in Shoalhaven Heads and nearby towns like Gerroa and Culburra Beach. Check into a caravan park or holiday park, snag a quiet spot at local Hipcamp, or rent a cozy cabin or glampsite.
