Our top 5 Caravan and Camping Destinations in New South Wales

Are you ready for an adventure on the New South Wales coast? These are our top 5 pristine locations to visit, whether it be camping, staying in a cabin or caravan I will list 2 places to stay at each destination. With something for everyone in the family, strap in while I take you on this coastal journey.

Bawley Beach

1. First up is Bawley point on the beautiful south coast. Located 30 mins from Ulladulla and 30 mins north of Batemans Bay this is the ideal location for the avid surfer as visitors are drawn to this location for the uncrowded beaches. Don't forget the fishing rod either with quality beach fishing at bawley beach and racecourse beach. Stay at the Tasman Holiday Park for a caravan park option or pitch a tent at the pretty beach campground in the murramarang national park. whatever your choice you won't be disappointed.

   
   
   
   

   

   Hyams Beach

   
   

2. A little bit further north in Jervis Bay, we have Hyams Beach. This beach is known for its squeaky white sand and spectacular turquoise waters. Again, there is plenty of fishing, snorkelling, and diving on offer, making it an ideal stop for those water activity lovers. If the water isn't for you, there are some beautiful coastal walks which give stunning views of the bay. For a caravan park option, you will have to go a little further north into Huskisson to the White Sands Caravan Park or stay at one of the hotels in Hyams Beach itself. For camping lovers who like to immerse themselves in nature, I recommend Green Patch Campground within the Jervis Bay Territory, with a picturesque lagoon, beach and private campsites this location is ideal for families.

   
   

   

   Neranie campground

   
   

   

   Seal Rocks

   
   
   
   

3. We move 5.5hrs north now to the spectacular Seal rocks. This place truly never disappoints. this beach is the ideal family beach with it being a beach that doesn't get much swell and it being fairly shallow in the southern end. The beach is located directly across the road from the Reflections holiday park, so you don't have to go anywhere. Be sure to keep an eye out for the dolphins as they are frequent visitors to the area. It also has some world class surf breaks in close vicinity of seal rocks beach. On the way into seal rocks, you will go past Neranie campground which is an awesome little spot right on the Myall Lake. with grass going right down to the water's edge and it being very shallow this is the ideal spot for the little ones. Don't forget the boat, paddleboards and the Lilo for a truly relaxing getaway on the lake.

   
   

   

   Crescent Head

   
   
   
   

4. A couple of hours up the road we have Crescent Head, if surfing long point breaks gets you excited or maybe just a float down the creek with a beverage in hand this is the place for you. With the Crescent Head holiday park situated right on the point you can get up and hit the waves early. After an epic surf maybe a round of golf tickles your fancy, hit up the only 6-hole golf course in Australia with the Pacific Ocean as your backdrop. If roughing it is a bit more your style, there are numerous campgrounds down at the back beaches of crescent head, but the one i recommend is Point Plomer in limeburners creek national park.

   
   

   

   South West Rocks

   
   
   
   

5. Last only 40 minutes from crescent head we have South West Rocks. Boasting jaw dropping beaches and world class fishing and diving. Close by we have the only true ocean cave dive in Australia running 125 m right through fish rock. For bushwalkers we have an array of walks ranging from easy to hard winding their way through Arakoon national park. For history buffs we have the trial bay gaol, take a tour of the 19th century prison and museum while taking in some amazing coastal views. The NRMA park is a winner with a discount being applied if you are an a NRMA member taking quite a substantial amount off, so becoming a member is well worth it. For campers i recommend going a little bit south to the beautiful Smokey Cape campground in Hat Head national park with some lovely little secluded camp sites. See if you can spot the giant goanna that roams the campground, and you will be sure to see some kangaroos as well.
