Caravan parks near Ballina guide

Overview

With its sandy shores and surf breaks hemmed in by lush river valleys and verdant hinterlands, Ballina is one of New South Wales' most beloved beach towns. While the international crowds head to nearby Byron Bay, local families and in-the-know campers come to Ballina to enjoy the laid-back vibes, sandy Pacific beaches, and year-round sunshine. Whether you're cruising the coast in search of whales and dolphins, fishing or paddling along the Richmond River and North Creek, or exploring miles of coastal walks and rainforest bike trails, Ballina affords plenty of ways to get outdoors. Park your campervan or caravan amid World Heritage-listed rainforest in Nightcap National Park, camp right by the beachside at Bundjalung National Park, or opt for a tranquil farm stay. You'll find powered sites, dump stations, and full amenities at Ballina's holiday parks and caravan parks—other campsites typically provide basics such as picnic tables and barbecue grills.
