State Forest Campsite

Currambene, Jervis Bay

Located within State Forest National Park. State Forest Campsite is a 30 minute drive from Jervis Bay Territory and is suitable for all types of camping, including campervans and camper trailers. There are also dedicated 4WD roads and cycling tracks, making it one of the most accessible campsites in the area.

Here, you’ll find yourself camping in scenic woodland and surrounded by nature, so it’s ideal if you’re looking to escape from it all. You do need to keep in mind, however, that the amenities here are limited to fire pits, although you are allowed to use a generator. This site isn’t dog friendly either, so if you’re travelling with your canine companion it would be best to skip this one.

FEATURED AMENITIES

• Fire Pits

Jerrawangala Rest Area

Tullarwalla, Jervis Bay

Another great free camping spot just 30 minutes from Jervis Bay, Jerrawangala Rest Area offers a good place to pull up for the night. Unlike many rest areas, you’ll find some good amenities here, including drop toilets, rubbish bins, and covered picnic tables. It’s also really accessible, thanks to its roadside location, and is suitable for campervans, camper trailers, and big rigs.

While accessible and offering plenty of room, it is important to note that this rest area is right next to the highway and, as such, things can get pretty noisy. However, if this doesn’t bother you too much, you’ll find yourself in an excellent place that is also dog friendly and has access to some nice walking trails.

FEATURED AMENITIES

• Drop Toilets
• Rubbish Bins
• Covered Picnic Tables

Endrick River Crossing

Nerriga, Jervis Bay

Ideal for those looking for a quiet spot, Endrick River Crossing is suitable for campervans and camper trailers and provides easy access for people who want to explore the Endrick River Firetrail. The amenities are limited, but you will find picnic tables and fire pits, but you’ll need to bring your own drinking water.

As well as being a secluded spot, you’ll find opportunities for fishing and swimming here in the river. It’s also dog friendly, and the surrounding walking trails and open spaces make it a great free camping spot for families embarking on a Jervis Bay adventure!

FEATURED AMENITIES

• Picnic Tables
• Fire Pits
• Non-Drinking Water

Toorooroo Campground

Buangla, Jervis Bay

This is another great spot if you’re looking for a smaller, quieter campsite, and you’ll find room for campervans and camper trailers across three designated sites. However, this does mean that you’ll need to get here early in the day if you want to grab a space, but it’s worth it for the surrounding nature and walking distance to Morton National Park.

There are a couple of important things to note before you head to Toorooroo Campground, though. Firstly, you need a National Parks Pass to camp here, so make sure you have this before pulling up. Second, the spaces are only suitable for vehicles under 8 metres long, so if you’re in a bigger campervan, it wouldn’t be a suitable choice.

FEATURED AMENITIES

• Drop Toilets
• BBQ Facilities
• Fire Pits

Army Camp

Falls Creek, Jervis Bay

One of the closest free camping spots you’ll find near Jervis Bay, Army Camp is a secluded spot with space for campervans and camper trailers to spend the night. The quiet bushland area you’ll stay in has some basic facilities, such as fire pits and picnic tables, but you’ll need to bring your own food and drinking water as you’ll be tucked away from civilisation for the night!

This site is also dog friendly and it’s a wonderful place to go for long walks. The surrounding trees and bushes are ideal if you want to spend the day searching for native wildlife or birdwatching, too.
