Traveling to Mollymook by RV

The Princes Highway (A1) provides the main route to Mollymook, offering a scenic coastal drive from Sydney that takes about 2.5 hours in good traffic. Exit at Ulladulla and follow the signs to Mollymook Beach - the roads are well-maintained and suitable for large RVs, though some caravan park entrances can be tight for big rigs. The drive from Canberra takes about 2 hours via the Kings Highway through Braidwood, which includes some winding mountain sections that require careful driving with heavy rigs.

Fuel up before leaving major centres, as coastal petrol prices run higher than inland areas. The BP and Shell stations in Ulladulla handle large RVs easily and stock basic camping supplies. For major grocery shopping, hit the Woolworths and Coles in Ulladulla rather than relying on smaller coastal shops. The IGA at Mollymook covers basics but has limited selection.

RV-friendly routes avoid the steep, narrow roads leading to some clifftop lookouts. Stick to the main beach access roads and established caravan park entrances. The Ulladulla bypass keeps heavy traffic away from the harbour area, making navigation easier for larger motorhomes. Check tide times if planning beach driving, as some access points become impassable at high tide.
