Discover the most magical spots to pitch your tent or park your rig on your next Killalea State Park adventure.
Surf breaks and beachside camping within day-trip distance of Sydney.
Golden sands stretch along the shores of the Killalea State Park, and sun-seekers can choose between Killalea Beach and Minnamurra Beach. Killalea is also a National Surfing Reserve, famed for its two renowned breaks, The Farm and Mystics. Sign up for a surf class, relax on the sandy shores, or paddle along the coast in a kayak. Once you tire of the surf, enjoy short walks in the surrounding bushlands, go fishing at Killalea Lagoon, or play a game of golf in nearby Shellharbour. Killalea Campground run by NPWS is the park’s only camping area—pitch your tent within walking distance of the beach and toast up some marshmallows around the campfire. There’s also a camp kitchen, backpacker bunkhouse, hot showers, BBQs, and a communal fire pit.
Summer is peak season in the Killalea State Park, but there’s plenty of sand to go around—make an early start to catch the best waves. For experienced surfers, winter (July through September) offers the biggest waves, and this is also the time to spot humpback whales along the coast.
