About this campsite

Cascades Campground, nestled in Wadbilliga National Park, provides a serene escape in nature with only 6 unique campsites, offering almost a private camping experience. The campground is a gateway to adventurous activities such as walking tracks, river bathing, and kayaking in the Tuross River. Angling enthusiasts can indulge in catch-and-cook experiences for a rustic dinner. With an opportunity to encounter resident wildlife including the elusive platypus, Cascades Campground is particularly idyllic in Spring and Autumn, despite the pleasantly cooler nights.

After you’ve pitched your tent among the towering ribbon gums, stretch your legs on Cascades walking track or Tuross Falls walking track, and then cool off with a dip in Tuross River. Bring your kayak or canoe if you want to paddle upstream – and see if you can hook a catch to barbecue back at camp for dinner. Spring and Autumn are beautiful times of the year to camp, when visitation is low and the weather is beautiful. But be prepared nights can be chilly so pack a jumper. You’ll be sharing the space with resident wildlife, and if you’re lucky (and patient) you might even spot a platypus in the river.

How to Get There

From Canberra: Head south towards Cooma on the Monaro Highway. Exit just north of Cooma, turn left onto Polo Flat Road and then left again after crossing the train line onto Numeralla Road. Follow this for about 40 minutes, then turn right onto Badja Forest Road which turns onto a dirt road immediately after the turn-off. From here, follow the signs to Cascades by turning right onto Peters Road and then right onto Tuross Falls Road. Follow Tuross Falls Road to the end where you’ll find a parking area.
