Camping sites at Dalmeny campground   banner image

Camping grounds

Wake up to the sound of waves and the smell of salt at a beachfront campground on the Eurobodalla coast.

Mystery Bay is one of the remaining natural camping sites on the NSW south coast, while Dalmeny campground offers modern amenities and prime ocean views right in the middle of town. The campgrounds are operated by an external contractor.

Mystery Bay campground is set among native bush, overlooks the beach, and is surrounded by National Park. It is arguably one of our state's best natural camping spots.

Dalmeny campground has powered and unpowered sites and modern amenities with stunning views over the ocean and is located next to the local shops.

Before you make a booking, please read the general conditions for campground use to ensure an enjoyable stay for all visitors. We thank you for your cooperation.

The campground at Moruya North Head is temporarily closed to tourists due to the accommodation crisis. Please visit Mystery Bay or Dalmeny for beachfront camping on the Eurobodalla coast.
