Long-distance treks, big swells, and waterfront pitches attract caravan campers to Sawtell.
Soothing shoreline views and laid-back beach vibes welcome caravan campers to the coastal town of Sawtell. It’s a well-known surfing hotspot enveloped by many natural attractions. Moonee Beach Nature Reserve sits 25 minutes north with a caravan campsite that greets visitors just outside the park boundary. There are pet-friendly pitches, with a choice of concrete slabs or grass sites to park on. Most offer electrical hookups, and every camper gets access to laundry facilities and a BBQ area. Canoe down Moonee Creek in the hot summer months, or tackle a section of the 60-kilometre Solitary Islands Coastal Walk when temperatures cool down in winter and whales begin migrating past Moonee Beach. Or take a drive to the shoreline of Bellinger River where motorhomes can settle into large power-equipped campsites in Mylestom. Boat ramps give campers the ability to set sail upon arrival, plus Bongil Bongil National Park’s epic mountain-biking trails are only 10 minutes away.
