We left booking extremely late, got into Coffs Harbour around 6pm in a campervan and didn’t realise all the park receptions shut at 6… found this place and checked in at 7:30. Super easy and efficient, beautiful stay with lots of animals and toilets.

My partner and I stayed at the Oasis of Hope camp for 3 nights and were amazed by how gorgeous the location is from the very beginning of the drive to our campsite. The campground is located right in the middle of a lush, green, and vibrant rainforest, with the sounds of the creek being able to be heard from your tent or swag. One of the owners of the property, Donald, even came by on our second day of camping to check in with us. We had a lovely conversation about the area and some exciting encounters with the local wildlife he’s had in the past. All in all, it feels like you’re camping in paradise, and we would also like to mention that the whole property is extremely well maintained. The showers and bathrooms are super clean, and the lawn is cut to perfection. We will definitely be back here in the future and recommending the Oasis of Hope to our friends and family!

Oasis of Hope was just what I needed. A little paradise away from it all. I stayed in the unpowered area by the creek, there were only a couple of other campers on the property during my stay so it was very peaceful. I’d love to visit again.
