NSW Seal Rocks Camping Reserve


Seal Rocks is one of our favourite spots. We usually stay in a little cottage on Boat Beach but this was our first time camping in the park. The park is across the road from First Beach. We would get up in the mornings, walk to the end of the beach and do a walk / jog back and then swim at the beach. There was good surf for beginners while we were there as the surfing schools were at the beach each day. There are two amenities blocks, both small but clean. The new block also has a laundry, two dish washing areas and a family bathroom. There are also few cabins. Our site was 1B facing the beach.
You can walk up the hill to get the paper or minimal groceries from the little shop. The only hot food they have is pies and sausage rolls so don’t get too excited.
If you bring your bikes, there is a good ride to the light house which is a must to see. In whale watching season you can spend hours up there watching the groups of whales go by as well as the resident dolphins. There is a longer and harder bike ride, on gravel roads to Treachery and Yagon Beaches which are on the surf side, south of the light house. There are also a couple of other camping spots near these beaches.
This very friendly resident wanders around all the time in search of food.
