Quick Overview

Ulladulla sits along one of Australia's most spectacular coastal stretches, where the Princes Highway hugs pristine beaches and the Shoalhaven River meets the Tasman Sea. This charming fishing town offers dramatic headlands, protected bays, and some of the South Coast's best whale watching opportunities from May through November. The harbor bustles with commercial fishing boats, while nearby Mollymook Beach consistently ranks among NSW's top surfing and swimming destinations.

RV camping around Ulladulla centers on several well-established caravan parks, with some free camping options available. Most parks offer full amenities including powered sites, dump points, and camp kitchens, though the coastal location means booking ahead during school holidays and summer months. Several parks provide direct beach access or short walks to swimming beaches, while others focus on family-friendly facilities with pools and playgrounds.

From your campsite, you're perfectly positioned to explore the region's diverse attractions. Pigeon House Mountain in Morton National Park offers challenging day hikes with panoramic coastal views, while the calmer waters of Lake Conjola provide excellent fishing and kayaking just 20 minutes north. The famous Cupitt's Winery sits inland near Milton, offering tastings and lunch with vineyard views. Ulladulla's working harbor delivers fresh seafood daily, with the local fishermen's co-op selling directly to visitors each morning.

Full-service caravan parks dominate the area, catering to families and couples seeking comfort close to beaches and town amenities. Most sites accommodate large rigs with concrete pads and powered site, though some parks have size restrictions on powered sites. Bush camping enthusiasts will need to venture inland to Morton National Park for unpowered sites, or consider the basic facilities at Burrill Lake for a more natural setting.

Summer brings peak crowds and premium pricing, while autumn and spring offer the best balance of mild weather and reasonable rates. Winter sees fewer visitors but maintains comfortable temperatures for exploring, though some seasonal activities like whale watching tours operate reduced schedules.

Traveling to Ulladulla by RV

The Princes Highway provides the main access route to Ulladulla, running directly through town as Burrill Street. From Sydney, it's a straightforward 230-kilometer drive south taking roughly three hours, with the route becoming increasingly scenic past Nowra as it hugs the coastline. The highway handles large RVs comfortably, though some steep grades near Batemans Bay require attention for heavily loaded rigs or those towing vehicles.

Fuel stops are plentiful along the route, with major service stations at Nowra, Batemans Bay, and within Ulladulla itself. The Caltex and Shell stations on the highway can accommodate large motorhomes and travel trailers. Stock up on supplies at the Woolworths or IGA in town, as grocery options become limited heading further south toward Batemans Bay.

From Melbourne, the coastal route via the Princes Highway covers approximately 450 kilometers and takes about six hours. This scenic drive passes through numerous coastal towns, each offering fuel and rest stops. The inland alternative via the Hume Highway to Goulburn, then the Braidwood Road to Batemans Bay, saves about 30 minutes but misses the coastal scenery.

Local roads around Ulladulla are generally caravan-friendly, though the steep descent to Ulladulla Harbour requires caution with larger rigs. Milton Road provides an alternate route to avoid the town center when heading to southern caravan parks. Beach access roads can be narrow, so check with your chosen park about the best approach route for your specific rig size.
