Kiah Wilderness Camp

3 sites · RVs, Tents65 acres · Eden, NSW
Full privacy with only one group per secluded site. Spacious level grassy campsites on the Towamba River, a pristine estuary that runs into Twofold Bay. 10 minutes on bitumen south of Eden and close to many of the Sapphire Coast's stunning coastline, National Parks and attractions. We are not and never will be a 'caravan park' - your group will have exclusive use of the campsite. Each are far from each other, both are right near to - or very close to - the river. Our guests love the tranquility and not having to share! Fish the river for flathead or bream and enjoy it for dinner by the campfire. Bring your kayak or SUP or just enjoy a swim in the clear sandy-bottom river. Once your booking request has been confirmed, let us know if you need more specific directions so you can find us easily. Well behaved (spoilt) dogs okay but please no hunting type dogs. Both sites have access to separate taps for fresh drinking water. Site #2 has access to our composting toilet. You'll need to bring your own chemical toilet for Site #1 (near) Boatramp site. Firewood can be collected from the property or supplied at a small fee (you can book this when you book your site). Feel free to collect your own kindling - plenty around). Good mobile reception on the Telstra network. PLEASE NOTE: the property is currently listed for sale. We are happy to take forward bookings with this understanding and will contact all booked parties well in advance if we sell. The market is very slow so we do not expect a fast sale and will ask for a long settlement so please still book :)

The best camping near Croajingolong National Park guide

Overview

About

Stretching for more than 100 kilometres along the coast of far-east Victoria, Croajingolong National Park encompasses some of the state’s wildest coastline. Hike rugged sea cliffs and sweeping sand dunes along the Wilderness Coast Walk, admire the views from Point Hicks Lightstation, or go boating and canoeing around Mallacoota Lakes and Wingan Inlet. Coastal camping doesn’t get much better than this, whether you pitch your tent by the beach, park your campervan by the creek, or paddle out to camp on a remote island in the Tamboon Inlet. Wildlife lovers will also be in their element—whales, dolphins, and more than 250 bird species can be spotted in the park.

Notable campgrounds

  • Best for families: Thurra River Campground has 46 unpowered sites, some suitable for campervans and camper trailers.
  • Best for caravans: Peachtree Creek Campground has 11 unpowered sites and is the only campground with sealed road access suitable for caravans.
  • Best for getting on the water: Wingan Inlet Campground has easy access to the Wingan River Rapids and the islands of Fly Cove.

Tips for snagging a campsite

  1. Advance bookings are required for Shipwreck Creek, Thurra River, Wingan Inlet, Mueller Inlet, and Peachtree Creek campgrounds. 
  2. You can book online via the Parks Victoria website up to six months in advance. 
  3. Campsites can book up fast during peak season (December to February), especially over weekends and school holidays. Book at least three months in advance to avoid disappointment.

When to go

Boasting some of Victoria’s warmest winter temperatures, the state’s far-eastern coastline is a year-round destination. Come in summer to swim and paddle along the coast, in spring to go bird-watching and admire the wildflowers, or in winter to fish, hike, and spot southern-right and humpback whales—whale-watching season runs from August through October.
