GETTING THERE. Coledale Camping Reserve is accessed via a turn off from Lawrence Hargrave Drive towards Coledale Beach. It's approx one hour south of the Sydney CBD. The camping area can be approached from Sydney by driving south down the Princes Highway, onto the Southern Freeway, take the Helensburg turn off, down Stanwell Park Hill and finally along Lawrence Hargrave Drive past the new Sea Cliff Bridge. Coledale can also be approached from the South via Bulli Pass.

POWER.  There are no powered sites in the area where we will be camping.

CAMPFIRES. The caretaker has verbally advised that we may have small campfires provided there is no current fire ban and that the fires be “off the ground” ie in a brazier or such.

FIREWOOD. If possible please bring a brazier or off the ground fireplace and some firewood.

TOILETS. The amenities block has a number of flushing toilets.

DOGS and other animals are not permitted in the camping reserve.

RUBBISH. There are rubbish bins provided.

ACTIVITIES.
Coledale is a popular surfing beach, bordered north & south by flat rocky outcrops. Swimming (for the hardy souls), fishing, sight seeing and relaxing with a bunch of like minded people, is the theme for the weekend. The local RSL club is about a 700 metres walk away.

Communal happy hour 4.00pm Bring your table, chairs, nibbles & drinks along to the center of the camping area for a combined happy hour, meeting those you have not chatted with so far over the weekend. 

Come sit & relax with a bunch of like minded people. Check the modifications others have done to their camper trailers to make camping life all that more enjoyable. You might meet as complete strangers on the Friday evening, but will part old friends such is the camaraderie.

You do not need a camper trailer to attend. Members without a camper are more than welcome to come along & get a first hand unbiased opinion of a particular camper trailer from their owners. Come along & meet the faces behind the typing. You are also very welcome to drop in for the day.

Please keep in mind that the group owners will not accept any responsibility for members & non-members actions during the weekend get together. If you decide to attend, it is solely at your own responsibility, including any side trips or outings during the weekend meet.
