Never Never Park is a Sub-Tropical Rainforest property which borders the ancient Gondwana World Heritage National Park on 2 sides including along Coopernook creek. Located half an hours drive Northeast of Dorrigo and 1 hour West of Coffs Harbour (via Eastern Dorrigo Way) in the beautiful Bellingen Shire, surrounded by various National Parks with 4WD tracks, crystal clear creeks, waterfalls, cascades, swimming holes and picnic areas.
The property is 400 acres featuring spring fed mountain streams, cascades and waterfalls that run through its central gorge. First surveyed in 1906 and logged in the days of bullocks and hand saws, remnants of a bygone era remain including the “Jack Feeney Memorial Giant Tallowwood Tree”, a Champion Tree of Australia listed in the National Register of Big Trees. It’s over 50m tall, more than 1000 years old, and was around long before Captain Cook reached our shores.
The landscape starts in dense Sub-Tropical Rainforest opening up to lush green pastures overlooking the amazing views to the west showcasing hedge-rowed rolling hillsides and 1600m high mountain range towards Marengo.
The local fauna is amazing and quite rare, featuring the locals of the Gondwana Rainforests, Koala’s, Wallabies, Paddy Melons, Lyre Birds, Satin Bower Birds, Glossy Black Cockatoo’s, King parrots, Crimson Rosella’s, Wedgetail Eagles, Catbirds, Riflebirds, Fairy wrens, Diamond pythons, Water dragons, Giant Panda snails, Glow Worms, Fire Flys and many more… including our Horses, Cows, Chooks and Bees.
Similarly, the flora is very diverse including Native Tall Hardwoods, various types of Palms and tree ferns, Rainforest and flowering Trees, Vines, flowering grasses, Stag Elk horns and other epiphytes, Crows nests, Mosses, Orchids and more.
A magical land that time forgot - Tranquil and Peaceful. Hang out in the lush greenness and read a book, walk barefoot in the paddocks, explore the creeks and waterfalls, walk the many trails through lush rainforest, birdwatching, gold panning, mountain biking or just sit around and enjoy the spectacular scenery…360 degree sky watching, see the Milky Way come alive at night, Clouds being birthed out of mountain gullies after rains, rolling mists and magical sunset views to the mountains… take your pick….

The Bungawalbin Wildlife reserve is 100 acres of natural wetlands that backs onto the Bungawalbin Creek. I have owned the property for 35 years and have spent that time re-establishing the diversity on the property. over the years the property had been logged mercilessly and used for cattle production. It was also subject to the devastating bushfires of 2019. The Bungawalbin wetlands is home to a vast selection of wildlife and I have created a purpose built waterbird sanctuary to attract and provide habitat to the many species of waterbirds that frequent the property.I know you will enjoy your stay at the Bungawalbin Wildlife Reserve.

One of the most welcoming, warm and peaceful spots we have been to. Shanti is such an amazing host who instantly made us feel part of the family but also allowed us our space and time to enjoy her stunning property. Having the horses come to the campsite and literally under the caravan awning was an amazing experience and they made themselves at home around the campfire. They are so well looked after and extremely friendly. We will be back as soon as we can.

Oasis of Hope is a great little site up the rain forest above Coffs Harbour and was a treat to find. Excellent, very clean shower and toilet facilities and a large communal BBQ area. I was concerned about the 10 volt power supply but Lars was very quick to provide me with an adaptor. A very peaceful spot so I slept soundly! If you want to stay off grid in fabulous surroundings, this is the place.

We loved our 3 nights at Oasis of Hope. We were at camp 2, right beside a trickling stream. Crystal clear cool water to lounge in, under shady trees, the best way to beat the heat. Good amenities, water available and a camp kitchen area. Really an Oasis, or at least it was for us👍

We love our stay at the Oasis of Hope, the property is perfectly maintained, beautiful views, a lots of nice spot for swimming, the water was crystal clear in the creek, the camp site was very good size. The amenities was great, shower, toilets, family friendly. We had a super relaxing 3 nights there, done a lots of bike riding, racquet sports, card games, and swimming etc, we just love the peaceful and tranquillity of the surroundings. We went to the Coramba Hotel for lunch on Sunday, it was great, only a very short drive, but have great food, even have a live band there that afternoon, it was so lovely. We will definitely come back again to stay. Thank you so much Lars for providing great service and top job for keeping the property so beautiful.

The best luxury caravan sites near Grafton guide
Where to go
Clarence Valley
Rocky gorges and pockets of rainforest line the banks of the Clarence River, which curls its way from the Dividing Range through Grafton to the North Coast. Head west to canoe through the rapids at the Clarence Gorge, hire a houseboat, or pitch your tent at riverside camping grounds. To the east, the lagoons, islands, and beaches around Yamba and Iluka provide ample opportunities for fishing and water sports, as well as surfing along the coast.
NSW North Coast
Less than an hour’s drive east of Grafton, the North Coast is home to golden beaches, lush rainforest, and coastal estuaries. Hike along the coast and camp by the beachside in Yuraygir National Park, then hop between beaches such as Woolgoolga, Red Rock, and Sapphire Beach. To the south, Coffs Harbour has surf breaks, seafood restaurants, and the popular Big Banana Fun Park.
New England Tablelands
West of Grafton, wild rivers tumble through gorges, and swaths of World Heritage-listed rainforest blanket the tablelands. There are six national parks to choose from where you camp in the bush, hike through the jungle, or venture off-road along rugged 4WD trails. Highlights include white water rafting in Nymboida National Park, rainforest walks in Washpool National Park, and canoeing through Guy Fawkes River National Park.
When to go
Grafton blushes with purple flowers in spring (September through November) when the city’s iconic jacaranda trees bloom. Time your visit for the biggest event of the year—the week-long jacaranda Festival at the end of October—when thousands of visitors flock to the town. Grafton has four distinct seasons, but it rarely gets too hot or cold for camping and outdoor activities.
Know before you go
- Grafton has bus links to the surrounding towns, but you’ll need your own vehicle to explore the tablelands and national parks.
- Grafton has a selection of shops where you can pick up camping gear and stock up on supplies.
- Fire bans are common during summer and dry periods, so check local recommendations before lighting a campfire and always use the designated fire pits.
- A permit is required to camp within NSW’s national parks, and campsites must be booked in advance.
