No,

But someone over your way has though. I think it was Steve H
He recommended it late last year when I was looking for an alternative to the Vic High Country when the fires were at their worst.

It looks a great place to go though, The camping rates were very reasonable as well.

Kev

I tend to keep away from emus as you have to get up to kiss em :)

Emma

Beachcomber is a spectacular place but I suspect you would have had to book last easter to get a spot. Just last night I was speaking to some friends in the Tourist Park industry on the south coast and they said their easter sites have been booked out for months in fact they are expecting to have their best easter in a few years.
No matter where you go it will be crowded. Just make sure you have a good time

I have booked 4 sites for Beachcomber park this Easter and this was booked about 3 months ago. It is now and has been for the past 4 weeks fully booked out. Great little spot and can't wait to chill out on the beach....

Of course Emma you want it to yourselves, nice & private... You could try, Bendalong, Conjola, Pebbly Beach, South or North Durras, Tabourie, Burrill lake, Dolphin point...
Closer to Nowra you could try Currarong, Honeymoon bay, Callala bay/Beach.

G'day Emma,

Kangaroo Valley, just west of Berry, has a sensational camping area maintained by the local water authority. River fishing alongside the camp ground, although no motors allowed on boats. Wombats and kangaroos graze each evening and you'll get some great up-close pics. Flushing toilets and drinking water on tap but it's a bring your own shower. And it's all FREE.

Lots of bird life; we coaxed a bower bird into our camp last November with a blue bottle top. However, if you take a camper trailer or caravan, be prepared for a sleep interrupted night as the wombats enjoy a good scratch courtesy of your chassis.

Whilst it is a huge cleared and regularly mowed area, its probably a bit much to not expect crowds at Easter. Others may have had some Easter experience there.

Cheers,
Shep

I used to camp at North Head , Batemans Bay . I guess it's a National Park as a guy tried to kick us out with our dogs 20 years ago . Caught snapper and tailer of the rocks there . It was bush camping . I guess now you would have to book a bloody site with the NP.
