Traveling to Bermagui by RV

The drive to Bermagui follows the scenic Princes Highway (A1) south from Sydney, roughly 450 kilometers of mostly excellent road conditions suitable for large RVs. The final approach via Bermagui Road offers stunning coastal views but includes some winding sections that require careful navigation with longer rigs. Plan for fuel stops in Batemans Bay or Narooma, as Bermagui's single service station can get busy during peak periods.

RV drivers should note that some streets in the town center have tight turns and limited parking. The main caravan parks are easily accessible from the highway approaches, but avoid attempting to navigate through the old town area with anything over 25 feet. The boat ramp area has good turnaround space but gets congested during fishing season weekends.

Stock up on groceries and supplies in Bega or Narooma before arrival, as Bermagui's shops are limited and prices reflect the remote location. The IGA supermarket covers basics, but specialty items and caravan supplies require a trip to larger centers. Mobile phone coverage is generally good with Telstra, but other carriers can be patchy in some camping areas.
