BONNIE VALE CAMPING GROUND
BUNDEENA
After spending a few years bushwalking and
walking many times in various places in the Royal National Park there was just
one little spot which had not been visited, Bundeena.
On checking on the web we found Bonnie Vale Caravan/Camping
ground this was a very pleasant family friendly park.
Located on the north end of the Royal
National Park it is an easy pleasant drive from the main park entrance at
Loftus or catch a ferry from Cronulla, with a 15minute walk for Bundeena
wharf.
Bonnie Vale faces Port Hacking
which allows for canoeing, small tinnies or inflatables and swimming, lots of
walking tracks and fishing.
The grounds have been upgraded and the
amenities although basic were superb.
No powered sites, this is not a problem.
No wood fires or wood barbeques allowed, there are several
gas barbeques and picnic tables dotted around the area.
These grounds are fully wheelchair
accessible with wheelchair accessible toilets and disabled parking.
This is a very popular spot in summer and
holiday times so bookings are essential at the Royal National Park Visitor
Centre at Audley Weir and fees must be paid in advance.
On our visit we found the camping ground
deserted as it was at the end of winter but still perfect walking around and
watching the bird life, we were able to see spoonbills in a creek wading around
in their natural habitat, a wonderful sight and in other areas cranes and other
water birds enjoying their freedom.
This is a spot we will definitely revisit and camp a while.
