Best Beach Campsites Sydney Near Me

Mark Powell: The Basin is spectacular this time of year. Hot sunny days and cold nights, perfect for sitting around one of the fire pits enjoying a bottle of red with friends or loved ones. Easy access via ferry. Highly recommend

Siamak Moradi: Nice place to camp on the weekends.

Jacky Fourie: Beautiful place to escape too! Perfect spot for a picnic!

Marty Middlebrook: Great support staff greet guests at the ferry stop, very clear designated camping area, lovely lush grass and fun in the sun. Just be sure to get to the ferry early - droves of people with carts take up too much room.Restrooms: Large with hot showers.Dog-friendliness: It’s a National Park, so no dogs

Vincent Chagnaud: Really nice place to stay over the weekend.

Dan Coleman: Perfect campsite for younger children. All the amenities you could need; showers/flush toilets, fresh water, vending machine, helpful rangers. A great place to test if your kids (and yourself) are into camping before trying somewhere with less comforts.

P Mitch: Amazing place

salvatore grimaudo: Beautiful weather, camp site was clean and well maintained. Ferry ride was quick and easy. Recommend for a nice day out.

Tash Jamieson: Lovely spot for a picnic and a swim! If you are boating over, just be careful where you anchor (don't dock at the pier and read the signs). Ate lunch next to some curious goannas.

Caleb lbj: No Dogs sadly if you want a lizard eating it no car camping at this spot

Józef Ochocki: Great campground, you can get there by ferry from Palms Beach

Nik Ayliffe: Good camp site and location for families - facilities good, swimming and nice hiking. Some logistical challenges with gear and ferry.Was way too crowded however and our camp was spoilt on the last night by a large group (who likely hadn’t even booked) setting up their tent less than 2 meters away from our camp site. Do not go here if you’re looking for your own camping space.

Andrew Leslie: Great, but long walk in and out

Billie Gosling: Beautiful camping spot. We visit several times a year and always have the loveliest time. Clean, peaceful spot and the facilities are always clean

Reza Karim: Perfect

Charlie Fa: Beautiful camping that has a very nice family and community atmosphere. People seem quite respectful and self aware.Even at full capacity it doesn’t feel overcrowded.The only downside is the amenities could be cleaned a bit better / more frequently but that is typically expected on camping grounds.

Dina Shcherbakova: Great place but still crowded and hard to get there with camping gear

Saumyya Bharadwaj: Quite, relaxing camping grounds. You can enjoy a day trip too..

Luz Marina Osorio: Lindo lugar para camping

Anthony Critchley: A beautiful campground - quiet, clean and close to services. Well worth a stay - we’ll be back

Adrian W: Stayed on 19th March 2023 to 20th March 2023.Great clean grassy campsite areas. Very clean bbq areas and bathrooms, well looked after by park rangers as well as fellow campers. The showers are newly renovated and provide warm water. The bbqs are plenty along with drinking water taps and power outlets. I stayed at site 69 which along with sites 62-69 are right along the waterfront with uninterrupted views. Some sites are closer to grass and bushland. The only downside for some would be the number of crickets and mosquitoes at night.Restrooms: Clean but plenty of black crickets dropping from the roofs and on the bench top and in the basinPicnic area: Clean but black crickets flying around at night

Wayne Everett: Beautiful but the facilities get swamped by noon campers trying to use the shower and toilet block. Some people don't know how to control their children, especially new COVID campers. My car was hit several times by kids playing cricket on the road. They were not allowed to play next to their dads AMG ohh nooo.Rooms: 5/1|Service: 5/4|Location: 5/5 …More

Joey Parker: Nice and secluded. A bit tricky to find a good camping site

Aleksandra Deren: Remote but actually not that far from civilization. Quite small so you will have trouble pitching larger tent. Good if you want to have some time alone without the noise of others or maybe start training for the longer overnight hiksNo facilities.Presence of the river make it great resting spot.

Vitaliy Podstreshniy: Was a bit busy

Chloe Wang: Very nice place. However that whipbird... Let's you down big time

Morgan Eyles: Very nice for a swim, however campsite was a bit muddy and only really one rock to sit on to stay off the ground.

Kristy K C (kathkristu): Peaceful and isolated lake.

hendry gan: Nice view yet easy to get there from pipeline trail.water may be deep.

Troy K P: The hidden jewel of Heathcote national park, very clean and snorkelled there finding some freshwater Bass.

Mathew Sharwood: Nice and quick looks like a good place to swim in the summer

Rizwan Nawaz: Nice little spot to swim. Someone has set up ropes to swing from the trees which is fun!

Suah: There was a rat inside the tent 😱

AFC: I was a bit worried after reading some of the other reviews but our stay was wonderful! The Tandara is gorgeous, especially the bathroom which has a bathtub and double shower. The bed is huge and extremely comfortable. We had lots of visitors from bush turkeys and a very friendly water dragon who sat with us on the deck. We didn't find any issue with noise or location like some of the other reviews mentioned, we could mainly just hear birds. Overall, a really relaxing stay and we will definitely come again!

Linda Ly: Went here for 1 night with husband as a gift for his birthday.The PROS:- The bath and shower was nice, instant hot water- Deck was nice to eat and sit outside with - not sure about views overlooking Lane Cove National Park but it was nice still- Nice touch with the fake fireplace inside tent, good for cold evening- Large fridge for storage- Bed was soft and large- Reasonably close to walking Riverside walking trail and picnic pointsThe CONS:- We didn't know this, but the tent/area is directly under flight path. There were so many planes up until the late afternoon about 6pm, so it was quite noisy on the deck.- At night still, you can still clearly hear traffic/main road sounds from tent- The tent is weathered and tired-looking- The tent strongly smelled like wet umbrella which is understandable being out against the elements for ages. You need to try ventilate as much as you can. The tent had mould, dust and webs along ceiling.- Surfaces along bedhead, bedside tables, light shades needed wiping from dust- Nowhere on site mentioned what type of cutlery would be provided or not etc. Didn't know a microwave was provided. There was a kettle and toaster provided. I couldnt find, but there was no plates, no cutlery, any BBQ cooking utensils, dishwashing sponge/liquid, and no tissues. There was however 2 wine glasses, 3 mugs and 2 glass cups provided, with some tea/coffee + 1 milk. If you go, please bring those items to eat/clean with.- Had a mouse in the tent which... freaked us out. Guess that's what you get #natureOverall, it was OK the stay. Although you may feel physically you're out of Sydney being in the national park, the noise of traffic and planes made that impossible to completely take you there. You are literally next to the caravan park so just bear in mind you wont be secluded completely, you're pretty close to other people. The tent needs a bit of a refurbishment and work and airing.If you can, bring some mosquito repellent or coils as there is quite a number around or be mindful to close the tent net. And try not leave food scraps in bin outside next to BBQ as there was a possum that ransacked through it at night keeping us up and climbing on our tent. This review is trying to neutral and observant, if you decide to go just keep these pointer in mind for the visit.

Dave Williams: Wow this place last time we were here amaz ing this year gone down hill mould all through out bathroom all over roofing everywhere of course no internet tv almost falling off stsnd disappointed to all this wsy as stsff have let it go great wildlife a bonus

evie cartwright: We loved our stay here. Everything was perfect. Thanks for a great stay.

Vanderlei de Oliveira: Legal

Derek Proud: Glamping on the edge of the Lane Cove River National Park is sublime. Tandara is luxurious and secluded and sits right at the top of the hill leading down to the river (although you can't see it from the deck in front of the spacious tent). Remember to bring your own food and booze as there's not much to buy on site and it's a car ride to get anything. The tent is amazingly well appointed and has a permanent bathroom attached to the back of it, along with fridge/toaster/kettle. But the BBQ area outside is where the cooking occurs right next to the bush Turkey nest. Those, along with parrots, cockatoos, possums, dragonflies and more accompany your stay. Highly recommended.

Scott Cousins: Yea pretty good, worth the bucks

Alexandra O'Brien: We booked in for an anniversary treat. We are quite competent campers used to no amenities so when we found this we thought it would be the perfect compromise for a quiet weekend away with no tent pitching. What we actually discovered was that we would have been far more comfortable in our own tent and with our own gear.The idea is lovely and probably well appointed when it was first built but unfortunately it has not been maintained.The tent was shabby, the setting felt extremely over grown and scrubby with no view of the valley as described in the reviews. The powered camp site next door was brighter and had a much nicer outlook. Perfect to pitch our tent. Had we brought it.There was large mouldy patches on the tent and tears in the zips leaving large holes for any number of creepy crawlies to join us.We were harassed by a family of brush turkeys who seemed far too comfortable for our liking and even hoped on the table to join us for dinner.During he early evening we noticed a family of (bush) rats also making themselves at home near the large deck while we enjoyed our evening wine. Fair enough, we are in the bush. Can deal with wildlife...outside... I draw the line at the rats being inside nibbling on the soap left next to the sink and causing no end of disturbance. I would have happily, at this point relocated to the car to sleep had it not been for the warmth of the tent. THis was a positive as was the large single fridge inside and tv that we used to block out the road, air and rat noise.At one point my husband and I discussed driving home it was that ridiculous.Given the amount of weekends that are booked out for the coming year, I suggest some serious maintenance is done as it is certainly not the experience we were expecting. If you have a booking, please be aware it may not be as glamourous as the images... it was more Camping than GlampingWould never recommend or stay again and will be asking for a refund at this point.

Juan Diego Arcuri: The way to the camping is super confusing and difficult, and it’s far far away from the parking area. The camping has nothing but the land to put the tent. The spot is beautiful but it’s not worth it

MANULUST: Purtroppo ci siamo beccati il temporale, ma è stato bellissimo lo stesso. Area camping su prenotazione, lontanissima dal parcheggio (a pagamento) circa 50 min di discesa e altrettanti dj risalita. I bagni sononsecchi, quindi dovete portare con voi acqua e tutto il necessario

Steven Tsang: Peaceful camping ground. Can become busy so it is advised to book in advanced. The hike from Garie Beach is quite steep however slow and steady! Nice coastal beach, but be cautious as the beach does not have a lifeguard.

Max Staples: Super scenic walk in and out. For walkers doing the full coastal route, the North Era campsite is the only place you are permitted to stay. There is no shade. The site is exposed to winds. Most of the ground is boggy. The site is downstream from its own toilets. We set up, thought better of it, struck camp and walked out.

Andy Warboys: Right on the beach. Drop toilets as expected. Bring plenty of your own water.

El sama: Awesome place

Brayden Grant: Nice little place to camp but never go after wet weather- the toilets are a nightmare to get too with up to half a metre of mud in some areas

Anoji Thevarajah: Beautiful scenic location however toilets were not in great condition. No running water or toilet paper. Keep this mind when coming here

Robert William Reid: hot winds wash the midden out to seasix thousand years olda herd of deer ears pricked stare our way

Noor A Nazia: Only 3 pit toilets are available. Need to carry own food, water and tents if wanna stay. Thelma head hiking takes approx 1 hr from Garie beach.

James Naimo: The toilets were surrounded by marsh were gum boots 👢

Sam M: Nice scenic campground. Only facilities are a drop toilet, byo toilet paper.

tony hughes: You can catch the ferry from Cronulla warf to Bundena warf.Very relaxing.I have then walked from Bundena to Ottford several years ago now via the beautiful coastal track on three occasions.Its different each time and I can thoroughly recommend it if your fit enough.Camp over night at North Era.A tent is needed and the associated camping kit.Carry it in carry it out.Then you can catch the train back to the burbs from Ottford stn.Ensure to book with the National Parks first though prior to doing the walking treck.🌅

Gary B: Beautiful scenery and walk

Nadeem Hashmi: Best for camping specially on the full moon night...

matt swanson: On occasion, good surf

melandallan: Absolutely magical, nice secluded campsite right next to a beautiful beach!

Adam Long: Beautiful, peaceful spot with enough space to camp away from other tents. 3 toilets on site. Wallabies and deer will keep you company, but are quite shy.

Megan H: Stunning location halfway through the Royal National Park Coastal Track. It has an expanse of grassy areas, 3 (drop/environmental) toilets but no other services. You must prebook accomidation prior to arrival. There is no access to fresh/drinking water, rubbish bins or electricity. You will need to bring everything you need in and out. Also phone /internet service is limited. Great place to spend the night while completing the 2 day coastal track hike.

C F: Good campground but National Parks need to maintain the toilets better
