28km from Tuross Head · 1 site · Tent, RV

We are located just south of the Mogo township on the NSW south coast, in prime position for mountain biking fanatics as the Maulbrooks Mountain Bike Park and Mogo State Forest are just to our west. We are 5 mins from the New MOGO MTB trails! On hot days you can grab your swimmers, snorkel and surfboard, and head down to a number of beaches at Tomakin and Broulee (15 mins from camp). When exploring the region, don't forget to stop in at the famous township of Mogo. This gorgeous village offers a quirky mix of art, crafts, homewares and collectibles, as well as fantastic food, clothing, specialty items, and well known favourites like Mogo Fudge or some marshmallows to toast on the campfire. The campsite is nestled amongst the tall gum trees and overlooks the dam. There is a firepit with a hot plate for delicious camp out dinners and firewood is available for sale under Extras. There is access to a toilet and rubbish facilities, but you will need to bring your own drinking water and shower. We can cater for all types of camping vehicles and tents, including 2WD. The campsite is generally flat but your vehicle may require a little levelling. We welcome well behaved pets (we have dogs ourselves so your pet must be friendly).

2. Bega Valley and Mountain Views

Space, privacy, wilderness, quiet. Stunning views across the Bega Valley, looking over the culturally significant sites of Biamanga and Guluga. A beef farm, with significant ecological diversity. You will be surrounded by wildlife - wallabies, wombats, and echidnas, with a vast array of bird life. Our cows are raised to be super friendly, perfect for children to pat and hand feed. We also have horses that will wander by hoping for an apple or carrot. Walk through native woodland forests, enjoy the views, and if you have a four wheel drive explore down to our fresh water creek deep in the valley. The most accessible camping locations are along the private bitumen road that winds across the hilltops, providing easy access. Other locations can be chosen, that are tucked away in the wilderness. The beach is half an hour away, and you can catch glimpses of the ocean (just) from various places on the farm. The night sky is breathtaking, with no light pollution, and the quiet (other than the wildlife) is serene. We love guests and look forward to hosting you and your family.

376 hectare operating dairy farm next to Biamanga National Park with access via secret 4WD track to the mountain and 22km to Brogo Dam for bass fishing. Brogo Dam is excellent location for a swim and to take your dogs for a walk or swim. 16.5 kms to shopping centre of Bega. & 34 km to Tathra beach. The property has eucalyptus forest, rainforest gullies, fresh mountain water and abundant wildlife include bellbirds and lyrebirds. The campsite is at the original 1908 selection block by the late John Pearce (one of the first settlers in the area) and has extensive views. in dry weather you can get here in 2WD towing a small camper trailer. There is a steep hairpin bend so I do not recommend caravans with 2WD vehicles (4WD vehicle and caravan could handle this). If you have queries regarding access check photos in gallery or please ask me. Flushing toilet on site. Dogs permitted. Good telephone and internet reception. Ideal for flying your new drone.

Conveniently located off the Princes Hwy, a few minutes from the quiant village of Mogo, just five minutes from the beautiful Broulee Beaches and boat ramp, and less than 10 minutes drive from the township of Moruya, this farmstay provides a convenient and relaxing base to explore this wonderful South Coast region. The farm covers some 600+ acres, mostly untouched bushland. We have over 50 head of cattle, several Clydesdales, a donkey, chooks, peacocks, guinea fowl, rabbits, and more. You are welcome to explore the paddocks and the bushland and meet and greet our animal residents. Dogs are welcome, so long as they're kept under control, and restrained at night. There is a large shared swimming pool guests are welcome to use. Campfires are permitted in the designated fire pits, or you are welcome to bring your own fire pit that is elevated off the ground. Firewood is available to purchase - see extras. We offer two sites for self-contained campers, and for a slightly higher price, one site that allows campers access to the toilet and hot shower facilities. The camping area is a general, level grassed area overlooking the creek, where you can pick the spot that best appeals to you.

Julie was available and extremely kind. We arrived very late, yet she still came out to meet us and did her best to help us with a problem we had with our car. She also gave us excellent recommendations for places around the area. We truly appreciated her help and hospitality.

We parked up on the grassy hill and had a fantastic view of hills and valleys. Plenty of room to take the dogs on nice long walk. After expressing interest in some local wildlife we even received a little rough map for sightings on the property. Would definitely stay again if we travel back down to NSW

We had a great time at Julie's place, she gave clear directions on how to get there and where we could camp. We found a lovely spot just off the road and only had a few cars pass over our 2 night stay We enjoyed hearing all the birds, going for walks and taking in the fantastic views. We had a couple of horses visit us which the kids loved. There was also plenty of space for them to run and ride around without bothering anyone. Julie was friendly and quick to respond to queries.

Weekend Trip to Sapphire Coast Dairy-Homestead

Camping at The Dairy (site 1) at Sapphire Coast Dairy was a glorious experience for our party of five adults. Beautiful views in all directions. Norm and Narelle welcomed us warmly and provided information about the property and the area. We had fun driving the 4WD track up to the road that takes you to the falls and two of our group explored the walking track up the hill. The facilities in the shed were appreciated including hot showers and the outdoor bathtub with the most amazing vista. We enjoyed every moment and will be back to explore more of this beautiful region.

Great stay! Beautiful little spot by the dam and we were lucky enough to have the place to ourselves. Just a short stop but it was easy to find, toilet was clean and perfect for tent camping.

My partner, myself and our 3 small dogs camped here and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We set up camp on top of a hill and had extensive views of the property! We enjoyed watching the cows graze and listening to the bird song. We woke up early to watch the sun rise while we soaked in the outdoor bath. There is also the option of a hot outdoor shower!! The directions norm gave were clear and there was plenty of signage directing us to the camps. Norm saw us driving through the cows and called us on arrival, he came to say hello ant our site and gave us a run down of the facilities. There is a flushing toilet, a basic kitchen with kettle, microwave and fridge, an indoor rustic shower and outdoor dining with tv, games and a speaker. There’s also a fire pit here which we didn’t use due to the warmer weather. During the day we visited Tathra beach and Brogo Dam, both dog friendly locations and only 30 min drive from camp. We will definitely be back, thanks Norm!

Perfect. It was picturesque, calm and secluded. The perfect week, friendly calf, cows and horses which children loved. Beautiful bell bird sounds and bowerbirds, an array of wallabies. Julie was so accomodating and gave us alot of space yet made us feel comfortable reassuring we knew all the best local spots! Thank you so much for having us!

Very friendly hosts and a peaceful campground, with no other campers we slept safe and sound, with the only noise being the sound of an owl. Very close to Batemans Bay, Mogo, Broulee, and Tomakin, for all your coastal needs. Was lovely to be able to have our 3 dogs off lead. Will definitely be back.

Fantastic spot! It was really nice to find a spot away from overcrowded camp grounds. This spot is perfect if you’re looking for a place where it’s just you/your group and nature! The grounds were clean and well maintained and having the dam close by was awesome for the kids and dogs. Being dog friendly and off leash meant our pooches could have a nice holiday too! The onsite toilet, fire pit and table/benches made things easy. Hosts Sarah and Tom were great to deal with, communication was easy and we all had a blast. Would recommend to anyone camping withe family/friends especially those who want to bring their dogs. We will be back!

Absolutely stunning. This place is a must do if in the area. Located close to Bega makes seeing the town very easy. We had the luck of being the only ones here during our 3 nights and would happily have stayed longer. The camp is located all by itself on the property making it feel truly secluded, with an amazing outlook over the property. Thanks Norm & Narelle for allowing us the opportunity to enjoy your backyard.

We loved our stay. The site is terrific – very large and very private- we specifically chose it because we knew we were going to be the only campers there.. We felt like we were in the middle of the bush far away from everything. It was a real bonus to be able to have our dog with us. Tom and Sarah are excellent hosts – friendly, helpful, very hospitable. We will definitely be back again.
