So Good Farm

11 sites · Lodging, Tents200 acres · Wyndham, NSW
We purchased our 200-acre property after it was devastated by the Summer 2019/20 bushfires. We are new to farming and are learning to live on the land. The property came with sheep which we are also learning a lot about, we also have an extremely friendly kelpie named Sage. We are interested in the idea of becoming organic farmers, love to do our bit for the environment, and want to live a more sustainable lifestyle. We grow herbs and vegetables, have a few fruit trees, and can't wait to plant more. We have fallen in love with farming life and want our farm to be a place of learning and enjoyment and can't wait to share the little place we call home. So Good Farm is situated 20 minutes west of Pambula Beach on the Sapphire Coast. The property is surrounded by trees and is filled with an abundance of wildlife. There is a creek that runs through the property and a spring feed dam. Plenty of walking tracks throughout the hilly property with amazing views at various spots, especially the peak of the property, if you are up for the challenge. The property also backs onto a national park. The closest town is only 5min away where you can pick up food supplies and fuel.

The best camping near Ben Boyd National Park guide

Overview

About

Beowa National Park, a coastal haven of natural beauty, offers a plethora of activities for the adventurous spirit. From the multi-day Light to Light walk to tranquil beachside campgrounds, the park invites visitors to immerse themselves in its diverse landscapes. Whether you're snorkelling in crystal clear waters, whale watching from majestic headlands, or exploring significant Aboriginal sites, Beowa National Park is a treasure trove of outdoor experiences.

Notable campgrounds

  • Green Cape area campgrounds provide a scenic retreat amid historic lighthouse views and prime whale watching spots.
  • Pambula-Haycock area offers secluded beachside camping, perfect for a serene escape into nature.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  • Book early, especially for peak whale watching season from September to early December.
  • Consider visiting during off-peak times for a better chance at securing your preferred campsite.
  • Check for cancellations regularly as plans change and spots may open up.
  • Explore nearby camping options to maximise your chances of an unforgettable stay.

When to go

The best time to visit Beowa National Park is from September to early December, when whale watching is at its peak. The mild climate makes it a year-round destination, but be mindful of park closures due to poor weather or fire danger. Avoid peak holiday periods for a more tranquil experience.
