A Hidden Gem Near Coffs Harbour
17 ft pop-up camper · With pets
If you're looking for a peaceful, scenic camping spot just outside of Coffs Harbour, this place is an absolute gem! The views are incredible, with rolling hills and lush greenery stretching as far as the eye can see. Privacy is top-notch—you won’t feel like you're camping on top of your neighbours.
One of the highlights is the steep but rewarding hike right next door. It’s a bit of a challenge, but the payoff at the top is well worth it! Mobile reception is solid, which is a nice bonus for those who still need to stay connected.
A heads-up for those with larger trailers or campers: the site isn’t quite wide enough to turn around easily, but we managed by turning ours manually. Smaller setups will have an easier time.
Ray, the host, was absolutely lovely. We had a great chat about his property, and it’s clear he takes pride in maintaining such a beautiful spot.
Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for a relaxing, nature-filled getaway with a bit of adventure on the side!

We didn't end up making it all the way to Ray's place, but he was so helpful! It had just rained and our van didn't have enough tread to get up the hill, but Ray was kind enough to offer to tow us up in his 4WD. He is such a lovely guy and gave clear directions to his beautiful valley.

Great spot for a base to explore the area. Very private and well maintained with a nice shelter, table and not stinky composting toilet.
Ray was helpful and was also respectful of our privacy.
It isn’t really a destination on its own as there isn’t really much to do there - other than relax. Also there is a quarry nearby that has a bit of distant noise.
The proximity to Coffs and all the other features of the coast are what make it.
is a steep hill and there are good reasons 4WD is recommended.

We had a lovely stay at Ray's, the camp site was clean and maintained well.
The shelter and bench was a fantastic bonus.
The views are amazing from up the top and it was a short drive to the town.
The dogs enjoyed wondering around of leash.
We definitely recommend staying at Rays.
We had a small camper trailer which had to be turned around by hand as the turn circle was to small for our set up.
Thank you Ray! 😁

Beautiful view, loved feeling like we were in the middle of nowhere whilst being so close to a major township.
The undercover seating area was very handy as we had some rain during our stay.
Great location for our stopover visit.

Nice location close to the highway - the sheltered seating and table was a real bonus. We pulled into the site late at night and had a little trouble finding the location but the host was easily contactable and helped us on our way which was very much appreciated. Very private site too!

Perfect spot for a stopover. I would highly recommend contacting Ray if you are unsure where you are going when you arrive at the location as my GPS took me into the bush past the place. Ray was very approachable and friendly. Would recommend.

What a stunning and relaxing spot.
Lovely way to unwind with my little dog and not far from the coast either.
Ray was very helpful as I took a wrong turn and had to call him on Boxing Day so thanks for that Ray! Recommend you have a 4x4 to get up the hill as it quite steep.

Lovely spot, nice and high view on a hill. We had a trailer but we had no problem go to the site. Only when try to turn around the trailer, it was a little challenge, end up manually turning it, rather than that it’s all sweet. As google showed us the wrong route we called Ray a couple of times, Ray is very friendly and gave us tips upon our arrival. A very nice spot for over night stay, heaps of banana trees in the area.

We had a great time camping on Rays land. It is a single camp spot that is completely private. Make sure you bring everything along that you need including water and firewood. We used the fire pits which were great. It was very convenient having the compost toilet and undercover area when it rained. It’s a really beautiful spot, highly recommend to anyone looking for a camping spot near Coffs Harbour.

We had a very peaceful stay here. Was very secluded but was still so close to points of interest around the area. The space was a great size and being surrounded by all the green was nice. Loved having the undercover area, especially as we had some rainy weather during our stay. Would definitely come back.

Such a beautiful and serene campsite. Complete privacy. We felt like we were miles from everyone, but we were so close the beac b we could hear the sea, and a 5 minute drive to Coffs shopping centre. We had the best time. Ray made sure the site was top notch. Loved it.
