Coolendel Bush Camp

Coolendel offers idyllic bush camping on the beautiful Shoalhaven River, 30km west of Nowra. With Australian wildlife your only distraction, Coolendel is the perfect place to enjoy a getaway with family and friends anytime of the year.

Pitch your tent in any of the open or secluded grassy areas in our 52 hectare park. Regardless of where you set up, you will only be a short walk from the river or a hot shower in one of our amenities blocks. Alternatively, we have cabins and a bunkhouse for those of you who prefer some home comforts.

Relaxation is a popular pastime at Coolendel. However if you are keen to explore, Coolendel and the surrounding Morton State Conservation Area provides a playground for outdoor enthusiasts. Walk, ride, swim, canoe, fish or wildlife watch! Later you can share your adventures with everyone around the camp fire.
