All the ingredients for family memories are right here. Port Macquarie accommodation or a campsite just metres from the sand. A resort-style pool for that pruney-finger kind of fun. A place where the kids can roam free with new pals. A friendly, welcoming atmosphere where the good times flow as easily as the tide slipping out past the breakwall. With facilities and activities for rollicking family fun, you may never want to leave our Port Macqaurie holiday park. But then you remember the waves, the bush and the koalas, and the world outside looks bright indeed. NRMA Port Macquarie Breakwall Holiday Park is located in the heart of Port Macquarie on the Mid North Coast of NSW, a four-and-a-half-hour drive from Sydney. Bordering the beach and the break wall at the mouth of the Hastings River, holiday parks don’t come much more ideally situated than this.

47km from Coorabakh National Park · 5 sites · RVs · Riverside, NSW
Part of a 101-acre property on the North Shore of Port Macquarie, this 1-acre lot fronts the Hastings River. Two powered sites are available for either a caravan or motorhome (that are self contained) with each offering spectacular views and breathtaking sunsets across the water. The site provides one of the best fishing spots in the area if you’d like to cast a line, or you can simply relax on the private jetty—or at your van—and watch the activity along the river. A slipway is also available should you wish to launch your canoe. As we are located on the North Shore of Port Macquarie, you will need to either access the property via the Settlement Point Ferry or take the dirt road through Kempsey (which can be in poor condition at times). The Hibbard Ferry is only 300 m from the campsite, making it easy to pop into town, explore Port Macquarie’s attractions, or visit the region’s wineries. For longer stays, a discounted ferry pass can be purchased on your behalf. North Shore Beach is a 5-minute drive away, and the local gin distillery is just a 15–20 minute drive up Maria River Road. PLEASE NOTE the property only permits Caravans or Motorhomes as no facilities are available

If you want to avoid the crowds our property is only 10 minutes drive to great local surf and fishing beaches at Crescent Head. There is an abundance of bird life, the odd kangaroos and wallabies, and other wildlife. There is a melaleuca forest that children are welcome to play in and build a cubby house, and 2 pretty little dams to catch yabbies, and for dogs to enjoy a swim. The property where camping is provided is approx 20 acres with a limit of 10 groups so you can find your own little piece of paradise. There is plenty of fire wood for you to collect on the property on your way in. Please help yourself to any fallen timber for firewood but please do not cut any standing trees down. When checking out, ensure you properly extinguish fires and return any unused firewood to the bush. Dogs are welcome to be here off leash as long as they are well socialised and reasonably obedient. There is large areas for them to run freely and dams to swim in. It is accessible via a 2WD dirt road, even with a little wet weather. If rainfall is extreme we recommend 4wd's. The property is completely off grid so we have a 'leave it as you found it' approach. This means you will need a camp toilet, and to take all of your rubbish with you. We are a rural property so do not have rubbish collection services. (Fees apply for any left behind rubbish). Happy camping!

Firewood can be purchased when you arrive for CASH for $20 per load and must be collected from the house upon arrival. Eggs also are available - $8 CASH on arrival. Lemons are free.

Great campsite by the river, the site was super well kept with clean toilets and enough activities for families to come along with kids and keep them entertained. The generosity of Rick and Cheryl was outstanding. My partner and I felt safe and was greatly appreciated of the hospitality. Firewood was offered once arrived and sites were clearly marked, with supplied fire pits. Would highly recommend going as this was such a beautiful area and the river was so warm and relaxing to be next to

We enjoyed our 2 night stay at Bundilla site 2 with power, it was a spacious grassy site close to toilets and river access. The river is amazing to swim and kayak in and was very refreshing and a great temperature! Kayaks are provided free of charge which is fantastic. The toilets are spotless and clean and we appreciated the herb garden which you are welcome to pick from. There are small fire pits for use at the camp site. Rick and Cheryl were both friendly and helpful and we'd love to visit again one day.

This is a great place to stop for the night, so close to the highway yet surrounded by nature (no road noise). The directions were very clear and signage made it even easier. Accessibility is great for large vehicles towing large caravans. The sites are very well maintained and spaced out. Would recommend.

Linda is an incredibly accommodating host. We stayed for our annual footy trip and all the boys had an awesome time! We had some loud music on but always turned it down respectfully as it got later. The property has heaps of space to spread out and enjoy yourselves. We played a few big games of cricket and even managed to set up a slip ’n’ slide for a laugh. 10/10 — would absolutely recommend!

The best camping in Coorabakh National Park, NSW guide

Overview

About

Embark on an adventure through Coorabakh National Park, a haven of volcanic formations and lush rainforests. Explore scenic lookouts, venture along tranquil streams, and immerse yourself in the park's 18 distinct forest ecosystems. While camping options are not available, the park offers a plethora of activities including hiking, birdwatching, and picnicking amid nature's splendour.

When to go

The best time to visit Coorabakh National Park is during spring, when wildflowers bloom, or in winter, with its mild climate and clear skies perfect for sightseeing. Summer offers a cool retreat in the subtropical rainforest, although it can be quite warm. Avoid the wettest month of March for the most comfortable experience.

Know before you go

  • Always check the weather and park alerts before planning your visit to ensure the park is open.
  • Mobile reception is limited within the park, so plan accordingly and download the Emergency Plus app for safety.
  • Pets and smoking are not permitted within the park to protect its delicate ecosystems.
  • Remember to bring your own water and supplies, as facilities are limited.
