Caravan parks near South West Rocks

·

Perched on a rocky promontory where the Macleay River meets the Pacific Coast, South West Rocks has all the ingredients of a North Coast beach town: sun, sand, surf, and world-class scuba diving. If you're road-tripping along the legendary Pacific Highway from Newcastle to Byron Bay, this tranquil seaside getaway makes a worthwhile detour, and caravan campers have plenty of options. Check your caravan or motorhome into a holiday park along the coast, where powered sites come with top-notch facilities, including camp kitchens, barbecue areas, and swimming pools. Or, choose a state campground or private Hipcamp with easy access to the hiking trails of nearby Yarriabini National Park or Hat Head National Park. Adventurous campers can also stay at rustic beach campgrounds, but these sites are best suited to self-sufficient campervans, as facilities include little more than a compost toilet.
