Kookaburra is a small farm on 20 acres. A quiet location less than two minutes off the Princes Highway, located halfway between Ulladulla and Nowra on the NSW South Coast (approximately 3 hours from Sydney and Canberra). Camping is available on lush green paddocks or under the trees, a short walk from the creek. We enjoy plenty of birdlife, wallabies, and wombats (keep an eye out at dusk). Guests will enjoy solitude and space, but please be aware that other groups may be visible. There are no restroom facilities here, so guests must be self-sufficient, take rubbish, and leave no trace. We have cows, chickens, and a pig. There are a wide variety of local activities to enjoy. National parks surround us for four-wheel driving, motorbiking, mountain biking, hiking, and climbing. We are also within 30 minutes of numerous beaches. It is a beautiful, quiet, and secluded spot to spend your next weekend or just overnight while passing through. No groups Fires are allowed, and firewood is available (cut/collect your own). We are pet-friendly and love our pets, too, but please ensure they are well-behaved and leave the animals and wildlife alone. Things to note: There is little phone reception (mostly none). 2WD is generally fine unless it gets very wet. Bring a pest repellent. Wombat holes do extensive damage to unsuspecting vehicles. Snakes (black and brown). Bee hives (keep clear or be stung). Beware of tree stumps.

Good spot
The camping area is very relaxing and my kids loved the nearby creek. Camp-site number 1 seems to offer the most amount of privacy, I would pick that if its available. I found getting to the camp site a little confusing, some more detailed instructions on the app and improved signage would help. To get to the site you have to open the hosts front gate and drive down their driveway and past their house. Nobody seemed to be home at the time and it felt a bit awkward to just head into someone's property without meeting the host. Aside from that, I do recommend camping here.

Not as expected
Didn't stay a second night, just wanted the option to stay late and return if we couldn't find another place.

Cow Paddock
We arrived very late on a spur of the moment decision in winter. It was freezing cold and we had 2 gates to get through which was a bit painful in the cold. Close to the highway and you most certainly can hear the road noise. Cow pats everywhere! We unknowingly set up on one as we set up at night. The creek, well at least what we could find of it was not like the images. No communication from the host, we sent a message as we booked the wrong site, but the one we ended up with was fine but we did not hear back. We booked a second night to have a late checkout but did not want to stay another night. Pretty place but not what we expected unfortunately.

Definitely recommend staying it was a really peaceful place that Christine has. Enjoyed the cows and the pig roaming around. You do need a 4x4 to stay at this camp. We loved it. Thanks again
