Bristol Point

South Coast NSW


This rustic national-park campground has forested sites within a short walk of a beach on Jervis Bay. It's for tents only and there's no power. You can walk to Green Patch beach and campsite at low tide; it's a short clamber but involves ducking trees and navigating a rock-pool-dotted plateau.
