Step into tranquillity and get ready for a truly authentic 'bush' experience at Kookaburra, a charming 20-acre farm tucked away between Ulladulla and Nowra on the NSW South Coast! Just under a three-hour drive from bustling Sydney and Canberra, Kookaburra offers a peaceful getaway that'll make you feel worlds away. Imagine setting up camp in our open paddock or nestling under the shade of our tree canopies! As an added bonus, there's a serene creekside just a short bushwalk away. Our area is home to a variety of wildlife, including friendly kookaburras, adorable wallabies and even the occasional wombat! It's definitely a haven for nature lovers! 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! See you soon!

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
