Berlang campground
Wheelchair access: hard
Wheelchairs can access this area with some difficulty.
For bushwalkers who like to stay for the night, this campground is ideal. And with its proximity to Shoalhaven River, this is a picturesque place you’re bound to enjoy.
Once you’ve arrived, selected your campsite and put up your tent, it’s time to start exploring. For those who enjoy seeing the park by foot, enjoy a pleasurable and easy walk on The Big Hole walking track - keep an eye out for the occasional goanna sunning itself along the way. Or head to Deua’s Marble Arch, where you’ll see a boulder the size of a car.
This campground is adjacent to Shoalhaven River, so bring your canoe and travel along the water, taking in the landscape that surrounds you; swimming is particularly enjoyable when the weather is warm. And when the sun starts to set and it's time to eat, cook up a rustic feast on the wood barbecues to the serenading frogs of Shoalhaven River and start planning the next day’s adventure.

Deua River campgrounds
Wheelchair access: hard
Wheelchairs can access this area with some difficulty.
Deua River, Bakers Flat and Dry Creek, spaced along the she-oak lined Deua River, are all great places to camp. Whatever the season, come and enjoy these scenic riverside camping locations, from where you can explore the park or take a day trip to the coast.
In the warmer months, goannas patrol the campgrounds while the semi-aquatic eastern water dragons oversee the goings-on in the river. You’re most likely to spot them sunning themselves on a rock or a branch overhanging the water. Their long muscular tail helps them swim. So make like a water dragon and jump on in.
There are plenty of things to do at Deua River campgrounds, all of which involve relaxation. Walk alongside the river to explore the area a bit more, find a picnic spot on the bank, do a bit of birdwatching to see how many species you can see, and then enjoy a barbecue dinner back at your campsite.
Activities: walking, motor vehicle use, paddling, liloing, swimming, birdwatching, picnics and barbecues
