Visit These Great Camping Spots Along the Coast of New South Wales

At some point, you are going to need to take a break from the noisy city life, and I think I may just have the right destination for you: New South Wales, Australia. A location that remains undisturbed, you are sure to appreciate every moment with nature and the unremarkable scenic views it has to offer whether alone or with company.

Here are the most recommended camping spots for those craving for some adventure or some peace and quiet:

Saltwater Creek Campground

Located in Ben Boyd National Park, Saltwater Creek campground is a more private camping site which offers a dramatic view of the coast. Once you have the campsite all set-up, whale and dolphin watching are just some of the activities you can do because whether you are a thrill-seeker in dire need of a surf, or a person longing for a private fishing session, this is the perfect place to be. Here, you will be able to relax and maximize that Australian experience you have been waiting for.

Pebbly Beach Campground

Approximately three hours away from Ben Boyd National Park, Murramang National Park houses the infamous Pebbly Beach Campground where people can encounter kangaroos going for dips, and hear birds calling onto each other. Like Saltwater Creek, you may opt to swim, surf, fish, or just relax while being in Mother Nature’s reliable hands. In this campground, getting to know other tourists during a bonfire at night is the best way to end the day in order to keep your mind off of the stress.

Diamond Head Campground

If you’re the kind of person who wants to observe the sunrise with a steaming hot coffee with sand between your toes, Diamond Head Campground is best for you. Despite being inside Crowdy Bay National Park, like the name suggests, its location is quite intimate. Aside from water activities, setting up picnics and barbecues are allowed so this is perfect for you and your friends. Not to worry for those who brought campervans because it has enough room for tents, and trailers alike.

Euroka Campground

Home to the World Heritage-listed Blue Mountains National Park, campers can enjoy 247,00 hectares of beautiful scenery on their way to the Euroka Campgrounds. They can choose to traverse the trail going up the Three Sister lookout at Echo Point, or get more spectacular views at Hargraves Lookout, Govetts Leap Lookout, and Evans Lookout. You may also ride the steepest railway at Scenic World or visit one of the world’s oldest cave systems in the Jenolan Caves.

As a last tip, a campervan rental is highly recommended, especially if you’re a first-timer, to be able to explore the state as much as possible while being a hassle-free camper. Read more about these great campsites here to know what else you need to prepare for an awesome New South Wales camping!
