The Great Outdoors - Where To Go Camping

With this incredible start to the spring there is no excuse not to be outdoors, sleeping in a tent and hanging out getting some quality time in with your buds on the weekends. We have gathered info on some of the best camping spots around Sydney, varying from coastal to inland locations:

North Era Camp Ground - Royal National Park

Normally utilised by the Royal National Park coastal track hikers, this little camp spot caters for to a small amount of bookings making a great, isolated experience, nestled away between the grassy crests lining the coast of Sydney. A short hike in from Garawarra Farm, it is a quiet, peaceful spot for a one night camp. Though the facilities are limited, North Era requires a desire for minimal possessions and some fresh ocean air. Wallabies and Lyrebirds are an added bonus!

Bents Basin - Greendale

A short 1.5-hour drive out of Sydney, Bents Basin is a spacious, green and solitary campground. With plenty of room, you will feel like you are the only occupant on the campsite! A main attraction is the secluded river, just a 10- minute walk from the main campground. It’s a relaxing and refreshing way to cool off in warmer weather. You will leave feeling revived and very in touch with nature and what it has to offer. 

Euroka Campground - Blue Mountains 

If it’s mountains, waterfalls and 1000 step climbs you’re interested in, then Euroka campground is the place to be. Located in the Blue Mountains, the site hosts campers and kangaroos all year round, and is close to various walking tracks throughout the iconic Australian attraction.

Little Beach Campground - Bouddi National Park 

Beach side camping is perfect in the summer and Little Beach is a perfect, remote location for beach and camping lovers. One hour north of Sydney and close to Gosford, Little beach is great for relaxing, removing yourself from technology and a quiet little spot for friends and families to enjoy. There are many surrounding walks and site seeing opportunities if activities are what you’re after. Highly recommended for a quick, needed escape from the city.

So, if you are not already an outdoors, nature enthusiast, prepare yourself for what will be the first of many camping adventures.
