Caravan parks near Newcastle

Whether you're planning on swimming or surfing along the coast or want to head out onto hiking and mountain biking trails in nearby national parks, Newcastle's caravan parks provide a handy base. Summers are hot here, with average highs around 25°C, so many caravan campers make a beeline for the many beaches, especially the long stretch of sand at Nine Mile Beach. (Also look out for the numerous outdoor pools fed by ocean water.) Caravan parks near the city tend to be well-equipped with electric hookups and bathrooms, while those near national parks and nature reserves may have more basic facilities, or be "free range." Natural highlights around Newcastle include Glenrock State Conservation Area (the region's last surviving pocket of coastal rainforest), the mountains of Watagans National Park, and the wildlife reserve at Hunter Wetlands National Park. Newcastle caravan parks close to nature typically offer abundant biking, fishing, hiking, and swimming options.

9 nights at Banjo's Retreat

We had a wonderful 9-night stay at Banjo’s Retreat! Joanne was lovely and super responsive, helping us find a beautiful, private spot on the property. It was a great base to explore, with a short drive to town and the beach. Just keep in mind the nearest dump point is in Morisset, around a 30-minute drive away. We had a fantastic time, and Maverick absolutely loved it too! 🐾 Being a bushy property, Mav made a few little friends along the way in the form of leeches and bush ticks, so just something to be mindful of when exploring with your furry companions. Thanks so much, Joanne, for making us feel so welcome. We’d happily stay again! ❤️

Weekend Trip to Banjo's Retreat

Got to stay here for a couple of days over the long weekend, safe to say I will definitely be returning in the future. Location was quiet and provided the relaxation my family and I needed. The host was very polite upon arrival and made us feel welcome during our stay. Usually we don’t opt to stay at people’s properties where the house is in the same location but the camp sites made you feel like you were in the middle of nowhere! Will be recommending this spot to friends and family

Weekend Trip to The Farm 765

We loved our stay and will definitely be back. Great hosts, clear directions, beautiful outlook right on the river and lush freshly mown grass. Tucked in next to an enormous fig tree, we were a stone's throw to the jetty where we fished to our heart's content. We dined on whiting, bream and luderick...we also spotted a sting ray, and caught & released 2 eels and a turtle, so the river is teeming with life!

Our first time here, we were very lucky to have the space to ourselves. No hassles at all greeted at the gate and shown our location. Thanks for a relaxing weekend.

Fantastic property. Joanne and Barry were welcoming and could not be more helpful. Will definitely return. Thanks for having us.

Truly excellent sites at Banjos. Joanne was most accommodating when we arrived offering to show us the property to see where best suited us whilst not hindering the others there. Access is slightly rutted but our 21ft road caravan made it into the first area with no issues just take your time :) Landscape views were amazing and there was so much space and privacy which was perfect. Definitely recommend this camp to those who are self contained and who want some space for themselves. 10/10. Thanks Jo!

We loved the serenity of Banjo's Retreat! Plenty of space, the campground was really well maintained. Although we shared the paddock we were on with another camper, it was still a private feel. Joanne and Barry were great hosts and made sure that we knew if we needed anything they were more than happy to help. We highly recommend!
