Mellows Ridge

16 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents40 acres · Calderwood, NSW
Nestled right up against the escarpment at an elevation of 450m, this high-end, off-grid 40 acre property effectively offers your own private slice of Macquarie Pass National Park - amazing views, giant cedar trees, fern forests, cascading waterfalls and palms surround. It feels remote but it's only 90 min from Sydney, 30 min to Kiama and just 15 min to the shops. The property also offers the only hiking path up to the top of the escarpment for some truly amazing views. As of September 2024, all the trails on the property have been massively upgraded and are passable with a 2WD car. If you're towing or it's wet we still recommend AWD or 4WD vehicles. We've just (mid December) added a spa half way up the driveway. It can be booked through the extras. We're not particularly price sensitive - until all those rate rises - but we are extremely value sensitive so we set out to make your stay extremely good value for your hard earned money. The land itself does most of the heavy lifting but also personal service and of course there's Lana to fall in love with. Note, Mellows Rd is 2.6km long and rises 400m - in parts the road is a 15 degree grade. It's all paved but narrow so if you are towing a large heavy load, it's going to strain your car.

Falls Forest

17 sites · RVs, Tents400 acres · Falls Creek, NSW
At Falls Forest, you'll find 400 acres of private native forest with an abundance of wildlife, welcoming self-contained campers to immerse themselves in nature. You'll be camped just 15 minutes drive from Huskisson, Hyamms Beach, and St George's Basin - a great location if you want laid-back bush camping, but also crave a restaurant meal and a swim in the beautiful waters of Jervis Bay. It is isolated from the overcrowded tourist parks and offers great secluded camping. At the right time, you will literally not see another human for days if that is your wish! At the current moment, a 4WD is essential to access the property. All campers must be self-contained, with their own camp toilet, and take all waste when they go. So if you are tired of that 6 metre x 6 metre tent site and don't want to hear the guy next door coughing and snoring, or if you just want to only hear the sound of the breeze through the trees, come and stay a few days or a week or longer if you wish. Seclusion this accessible from Sydney is a rare commodity. Pets are welcome, but please keep them under control as we value the wildlife. Sorry, no cats for that particular reason.

The best camping near Conjola National Park guide

Overview

About

Lakes, creeks, and ocean meet to dramatic effect at Conjola National Park, whether you’re looking for a scenic stopover along the Pacific Highway or a beachside getaway miles from the crowds of the South Coast resorts. Take your pick of two lakes where you can cool off with a swim or go stand-up paddleboarding, enjoy canoeing and fishing along the creeks, or explore miles of bushwalking, cycling, and bird-watching trails. There’s no camping in the park itself, but you’ll find holiday parks, campgrounds, and Hipcamps dotted around nearby Conjola Lake, Swan Lake, or St Georges Basin.

Caravan Camping Near Conjola National Park

If canoeing and fishing around pristine coastal lagoons, hiking and biking along forest trails filled with birds, and swimming or paddleboarding at secluded lakeside beaches sounds like your kind of adventure, drive your caravan over to Conjola National Park. West of Jervis Bay, the park’s two lakes are linked by several scenic bushwalking trails and plenty of picnic spots, and while there’s no camping in the national park itself, you’ll find scenic spots to park your rig right nearby. Check into a holiday park on the shores of Conjola Lake, Swan Lake, or St Georges Basin, where the spacious powered sites have waterfront views and amenities include a swimming pool and games room. For back-to-nature camping, there’s also a rustic caravan park and a choice of rural Hipcamps where you can escape the crowds and enjoy your very own slice of Aussie countryside.

When to go

Summer (Dec-Feb) is the most popular time to visit Conjola National Park, but it’s still warm enough to enjoy the beaches in late spring and early fall. Wildflower season kicks off in spring, when crimson waratah and yellow wattle flowers blanket the forest floor, and this is also the best time of year for bird-watching.
