Best Camping Spots in the Shoalhaven Region

With years of local knowledge, Peter from Shoalhaven Caravan Hire has created this list of the best camping spots in the Shoalhaven region and they are all parks that his vans can be delivered to.

Above:The beautiful South Coast has so much to offer!

 

The love affair with camping started when I was 5 years old, and I would go down to Merry Beach on the South Coast with my parents. We started in an old tent and one year we were flooded out by torrential rain. So my Dad and My Uncles purchased 3 caravans and set them up as permanent onsite vans. So year on year we would go there every holiday and fish, dive, surf and meet a lot of great people, some of those people are still friends today. These memories are my fondest as a child and will stay with me forever.

 

After years of being local in the Shoalhaven region, we often get asked to recommend caravan parks within our service area. As we are based in Ulladulla, we are ideally situated 2-2.5 hours from Sydney and Canberra. As we are truly blessed with great parks from Kiama to Narooma, it is difficult to recommend one or the other as every client has different needs and tastes. These are some of the best camping spots and our personal favourites.
