10 nights at Cracknback Riverside Campground

Peaceful serenity at Cracknback, beautiful river with amazing views of the mountains nearby. Definitely will be a go to campground

Weekend Trip to Oasis of Hope

Beautiful property with wide open green spaces and a nearby creek

3 nights at Missabotti Wia Ora

Absolutely beautiful spot next to the Nambucca river. So peaceful and the river was flowing well. Would recommend this spot to anyone wanting a bit of solitude. The visiting cows with their babies was a treat! Thank you Nick for sharing your special piece of paradise! We will return!

3 nights at Anchorage Park

Anchorage Park is a beautifully maintained camp with sites right on the Kalang River. Perfectly positioned for stunning views and sunset is particularly scenic. When we had campers on both sides of us we did feel hemmed in though and wished the sites were bigger. We appreciated being able to fill up our water tanks before we left.

Weekend Trip to Oasis of Hope

Stunning setting, beautiful & serene! Lovely facilities, lovely people, will definately return for a longer stay!

Weekend Trip to Coffs Harbour Camping & Farmstay

5 stars – A peaceful farm stay with the kindest host! Staying at Sharon’s farm was such a wonderful experience! Sharon herself was absolutely lovely—so friendly, welcoming, and full of great information about all the animals on the property. You can tell how much she cares for them, and it made the whole stay feel really special. The facilities were great—the toilets were very clean, which is always a plus when camping. One of the highlights was having breakfast by the pond on the wharf; it’s such a peaceful, beautiful spot to start the day. There’s so much space on the property, so even with others around, it never felt crowded. And the animals… just beautiful. It was such a treat to be around them in such a relaxed, natural setting. Highly recommend this stay if you're looking to unplug and enjoy some genuine farm hospitality!

2 nights at Coffs Harbour Camping & Farmstay

Beautiful place to stay for a few nights. Very cozy and quiet, lovely to see all the farm animals

1 night at Oasis of Hope

Nice and quiet camp amongst the trees with lush grass campsites. Amenities were nice and clean.

2 nights at Bonville Camp Ground

A beautiful and peaceful place and the communication was great. Good access into property and really quiet

1 night at Oasis of Hope

Amazing place to stay. So peaceful. Grounds are beautiful and maintained. Great facilities. All the facilities of a caravan park but without all the people! The creek is amazing and swimming holes are great. This is our second time here and we will be back!!

1 night at Bonville Camp Ground

The campsite is quite an expansive area. There are plenty of sites with fire pits & they are well set apart. The forest behind the campsite is beautiful & well worth a walk.

1 night at Anchorage Park

Angela is a very nice host that has a great well kept area, this would one of the best that we have stayed at, have recommended it to many already and we will definitely be back. And good fishing as well.

1 night at Yellow Butterfly

Beautiful spot! Lovely little campsite with all the necessities! Thank you for a wonderful stay :)

Weekend Trip to Oasis of Hope

We loved camping at the Pasis of Hope. The hosts were very welcoming and the facilities were great and very thought through. You can see a lot of care has gone into designing and keeping the campsite in great condition. It has everything you could want and more. The location is stunning and we had such a great time. We will be back for sure.

4 nights at Anchorage Park

What a spot!! Troy and Angela greeted at their property and guided us down to our spot. Highly recommend campsite 5 for fishing and having your own waterfront spot. The weather wasn’t great while we were there but there is plenty of things to do around town, Nambucca, Bellingen and Coffs. The campsites are big enough to be private and also having a water point is awesome feature.

Weekend Trip to Bundilla River Camp

Beautiful drive in to property and lovely location with good amenities. Creek was easy to access and great to swim in. Close proximity to Port Macquarie. We had a lot of rain and were flooded in for half a day, which made the site a little slippery to get out of. Rick and Cheryl were extremely helpful and accomodating though!

10 nights at Kooinda Farm

Beautiful quiet property within easy 20min drive to some of the best beaches. Kangaroos, birds....fies allowed. Can't ask for more. Linda was a lovely host too.

5 nights at Coffs Harbour Camping & Farmstay

Such a beautiful place! Serene and peaceful until the geese and ducks and chooks come for a visit 🥰🥰. I wouldn’t have it any other way. Definitely recommend it. Very safe for families and solo travellers.

Weekend Trip to Yellow Butterfly

Convenient stopover as it’s not too far off the highway (it feels remote, though!). Beautiful nature sounds, showers were lovely and hot, long drop toilet was clean and maintained. Hope to visit again when it’s less rainy, so we can enjoy one of the outdoor tubs :) thanks for a great stay!

Weekend Trip to Bonville Camp Ground

Great location just off the highway in a beautiful spacious area.

Waterfalls & More

11 sites · RVs, Tents104 acres · Sherwood, NSW

HIDING IN THE MIDDLE OF EVERYWHERE! Pure. Unadulterated. WILD. 104 very private acres, securely sandwiched between a National Park Nature Reserve and State Forest. On a dead end road. No agriculture or farms upstream, only one other like-minded property owner. Secluded, but hiding smack bang in the middle of everywhere! From vertiginous sandstone cliffs on which epipetrics cling tight, right through to palm-filled rainforests, and with two quite different creek systems (including a monster waterfall), you'll be spoiled for things to do and places to explore - without even leaving the property! HISTORY This land is Gumbaynggirr land. Please be particularly mindful of our First Nation's long presence on this land. In the 1800's, white men came seeking Red Cedar, closely followed by settlers having a go at dairying; though logging has remained this area's mainstay. This special property, despite last being selectively logged about 50 years ago, hosts many huge old-growth trees remaining steadfast for your discovery and wonder. And many more are continuing to grow out too. About 35 years ago about nine of this property's eastern-most 104 acres became part of a far larger nashi pear orchard which filled much of the flats of this top end of the valley that you see today. Ultimately they failed to set good commercial fruit, and the rootstocks took over. You can see remnant rows of these trees just south of the property, from along the road. (Beware though - they have spikes that could puncture Caterpillar tracks!) MORE RECENTLY extensive lantana control efforts have been undertaken as we now move into revegetating with native species and implementing a permaculture plan. Today the property is registered with Land For Wildlife and hosts a very wide mix of native vegetation communities. ACTIVITIES Bird watch. Climb. Abseil. Photograph wildflowers. Paint. Swim. In the next valley there's even gold to be found. Explore trails by mountain bike. Whale watch. Surf. Learn SCUBA. Go beach-combing. Catch a mudcrab. Go whitewater river rafting. Ask your host about where to find all the local waterfalls, the best walking, how to find gold, the gnarliest off-road tracks, Anything is possible here in this magnificent part of the world, except perhaps snow and ice.

Levenvale Farm in Bellingen

9 sites · RVs, Tents500 acres · Valery, NSW

We are farmers, living the dream on 500 acres in beautiful Bellingen. Our farm is called Levenvale Farm. You will feel a million miles away, yet we are only 7mins into the town of Bellingen. We run an organic cattle property and have found a few spots around our farm to share with campers and glampers. Our campsites are "Beyond the Bridge" and "Old Flat Camp". Both are on cattle paddocks and have private access to Hydes Creek. Hydes Creek is a murky sandy base creek. There's lots of logs so its not recommend to jump in, but it's beautiful to cool off in the creek on a hot day. Both campsites have access to our compost toilet, and open air outdoor camping shower (gas hot water). If you prefer a bit more comfort or don't have your own camping gear, you can escape the hustle and enjoy being perched up on one of the highest points on the farm (with incredible views), in our Farm Huts. Both the Hut and the Tent are furnished with beds and linen but have no power. Both share access to a Drop Loo and a compost toilet, with gas hot water shower (in our very rustic Horse Float ensuite). At all our sites, we welcome you to have a small fire, and cook up a BBQ. Our Farm Shop is open 24/7 to self serve and grab some organic beef sausages or steaks. Reach out if you want us to have them defrosted for your arrival. All of our listings offer spectacular sunrises, sunsets over the mountains and wanderings through lush rainforest. Experience all the adventures of Levenvale Farm and reconnect with nature.

Camping in North Coast guide

Overview

The North Coast of New South Wales has it all. Golden sands, surf beaches, and billowing dunes stretch along the coast from Newcastle to Tweed Heads. Inland, UNESCO World Heritage-listed rainforest and award-winning vineyards blanket the mountainous hinterlands, where you can hike and camp in some of the state’s most popular national parks. Campers have plenty of choices, whether you’re road-tripping along the Legendary Pacific Coast from Sydney to Brisbane or venturing into the rainforest. Park your motorhome at a national park campground, seek out a secluded bush campsite, or check into a 5-star holiday park or caravan park along the coast.

Where to go

Hunter Valley

Just north of Sydney and Newcastle, the Hunter Valley is one of Australia’s most renowned wine regions. Sip semillon and shiraz at cellar door tastings, visit family-run boutique wineries, then pitch your tent or park your RV amid the vineyards or along the Hunter River. Just to the north, the World Heritage-listed Gondwana Rainforests of Barrington Tops National Park afford endless options for bushwalking, fishing, and camping.

South North Coast

Beautiful beaches and wild bushlands await along the southern stretch of the North Coast between Newcastle and Port Macquarie. Go sandboarding at the Stockton Bight Sand Dunes, take a dolphin-watching cruise from Port Stephens, or enjoy kayaking, fishing, and camping at Myall Lakes National Park. Further north, Port Macquarie is the gateway to numerous lakes, lagoons, and wildlife reserves.

Central North Coast

Holidaymakers flock to Coffs Harbour for its water sports, wildlife-spotting, and whale-watching cruises, but the coastal town is also the gateway to some of NSW’s most popular national parks. Dorrigo National Park has spectacular waterfalls and scenic trails through UNESCO-listed rainforest, while there’s great camping at nearby Guy Fawkes River National Park and Nymboi-Binderay National Park.

Northern Rivers

Byron Bay is the quintessential NSW beach town, known for its epic surf and bohemian vibes, but Ballina, Brunswick Heads, and Tweed Heads are equally good choices for coastal campers. Don’t miss the Rainforest Way scenic drive, the beaches and lagoons of Bundjalung National Park, and the Cape Byron Headland Reserve, Australia’s easternmost point.
