With coastlines of soft, white sand, sun-soaked wineries for long lunches and a rich cultural history, the Shoalhaven region has plenty to offer for your next NSW adventure.<\/h5>\n

You may be familiar with the famous white-sand beaches of the Shoalhaven region, but chances are you aren\u2019t across just how far-reaching the area is. Running from tucked away Kangaroo Valley and its serene bushland right down to the beginnings of the NSW South Coast<\/a>, there\u2019s much to do and see, no matter what kind of traveller you are.<\/p>\n

The best way to explore is by car or caravan, giving you flexibility. Thankfully, Holiday Haven has 12 holiday parks dotted throughout the Shoalhaven region, with options to suit all kinds of travel plans, from romantic getaways to family time with the kids.<\/p>\n

Here are some of our favourite spots, whether you\u2019re pitching a tent, pulling up the RV or indulging in a glamping experience.<\/p>\n

1. Huskisson<\/h2>\n

Nestled in pristine Jervis Bay<\/a>, Huskisson is a captivating, sleepy spot filled with natural beauty. A short drive away you\u2019ll find the stunning white-sand beaches the Shoalhaven region is known for, with crystal-clear turquoise waters and abundant marine life. If swimming, snorkelling, diving and dolphin or whale watching are right up your alley, this is where to head.<\/p>\n

Holiday Haven White Sands<\/a> is colloquially known as \u2018the caravan park on the point\u2019 in Huskisson, thanks to its enviable position that offers uninterrupted views of Jervis Bay. The romantic safari tents are a highlight; these feature all the mod cons, like a kitchenette and spacious ensuite, while allowing you to immerse yourself in the stunning coastal atmosphere. Imagine the soothing sound of the ocean as you drift to sleep, then the gentle calls of birds as you wake.<\/p>\n

2. Lake Conjola<\/h2>\n

It doesn\u2019t get more peaceful than Lake Conjola. This stunning freshwater lake in the Shoalhaven region stretches over six kilometres, is surrounded by lush greenery, and is known for its water activities like swimming, boating, fishing and kayaking.<\/p>\n

Holiday Haven Lake Conjola has it all: beach access, lake proximity and the tranquillity of a bushland setting. Kids will have a ball on the climbing spider and jumping pillow after they\u2019ve exhausted themselves out on the lake. For the best morning cuppa views, pick a waterfront cabin or powered site.<\/p>\n

Holiday Haven Ulladulla<\/a> is well-placed in town, with views across Ulladulla Harbour and easy walking access to shops and entertainment. You\u2019ll find whatever type of accommodation you\u2019re looking for here, including powered and unpowered sites, ensuite sites, and cosy cabins for couples through to spacious family-sized offerings that can sleep up to six.<\/p>\n

Holiday Haven Shoalhaven Heads<\/a> capitalises on its majestic waterfront location between Seven Mile Beach and Shoalhaven River.

Holiday Haven Lake Tabourie is right in the thick of it, nestled between Lake Tabourie and Tabourie Beach, with 12 hectares of prime beachfront and lakefront coastal land.

Culburra Beach is an angler\u2019s paradise, and is known as one of Australia\u2019s best deepwater and estuarine fishing areas.<\/p>\n

One of the highlights of Holiday Haven Culburra Beach is its prime location, as it\u2019s just steps from the beach and in close proximity to boat ramps. There\u2019s also plenty for the entire family to do, with a cricket pitch, mini golf course, solar heated pool and splash pad.

Holiday Haven Kangaroo Valley is conveniently located within walking distance to the quaint boutiques and cafes of town, but is hidden away in bushland so you\u2019ll feel like you\u2019re miles away from the hustle and bustle.
