Our story
Camp & Coast was born by the sea
In a small coastal town where turquoise waters meet white sands, and the air always smells like salt and sunscreen.
Weekends are spent chasing sunsets, skating along beachside paths, and soaking up that easy, sun-drenched coastal lifestyle — sun-kissed skin, salty hair, bikinis and boardshorts, music playing from a speaker somewhere in the distance.
That’s what summer is all about here.
We’re surrounded by so much natural beauty — the deep blue of the sea, some of the whitest sand in the world, a famous Aussie surf break (Aussie Pipe), and coral sunsets — all wrapped around our beautiful coastal tourist town of Huskisson, the very heart of our home.
I felt a deep calling to reflect this energy through design. Originally, the desire was to add more colour to our glamping set up’s here in the bay, but it soon evolved to beach rugs.
While we’ve always loved the boho aesthetic that became so popular, we wanted to take a different path — one that felt more surfy, nostalgic, and distinctly ours.
That’s when Camp & Coast’s design style truly came to life — born from the rhythm of coastal life and the people who live it.
Drawing inspiration from surf culture, retro motifs, and coastal symbols — think shells, sunbursts, surfboards, waves, hibiscus blooms, palm fronds, sea creatures, and the nostalgic checker patterns of vintage surfboards — our designs bring together that laid-back Aussie beach energy with bold, playful colour.
Made for laid-back beach days, post-surf hangs, eskies full of chilled drinks, road trips in sand-dusted vans, and nights spent under starlit skies.
Each piece tells a story of freedom, sunshine, and seaside living — a reminder of those endless summer days.
Camp & Coast is more than a brand
It's a feeling, and a nod to salty hair, sandy feet, and the endless magic of life by the coast.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. How do I wash and care for my rug?
We recommend spot cleaning for small marks or spills. For more heavily soiled areas, use a cold, gentle machine wash and hang to dry.

Yes! Full-price items can be returned if you’re not completely satisfied. Please note that sale items are final and cannot be returned.

We collaborate with talented artists, mostly from Australia, who bring unique creativity to each design. Occasionally, we also work with artists from around the world to create special pieces.
