Yalwal Recreational Area is open for Day use only – No Camping.
Yalwal is an old gold prospecting area located 30 kilometres south-west of Nowra.
Yalwal is ideal for relaxing in an unspoiled wilderness with abundant wildlife, or as a base for active pursuits such as bush walking, canoeing, swimming and cycling.
An historic cemetery and the remnants of some old gold mines can be found there.
