We have been working the last few years on Rewilding the land and it is the healthiest it has been in my lifetime. Encompassing salt marsh, casuarina forests, open grassland and gumtree groves there is an incredible diversity of species to be found on this relatively small property. Bordered by Mangrove Creek it is protected on all sides by sandstone mountains yet remains sunny and open. A lush and powerful place.

We also have a quarry surrounding most of the property, so they sometimes operate machinery early. This is not generally too disruptive though.

Great place to camp! We stayed in spot 9, which situated between the orchards on a well kept grass. Plenty of space to set up your camp and have privacy between neighbours. Toilet and shower were easy walk away, and there were also cute goats, pigs and alpacas to mention a few. The area was overall very beautiful and quiet (Saturday-Sunday night).
Toilet doors would need some fix as the locking was bit sketchy, but they were clean and toilet paper was provided.

Such a beautiful spot. We had it all to ourselves and it was very peaceful. The host had freshly mowed out a lovely area for us, but unfortunately our dog went into the long grass and came out with a snake. We would still absolutely return to this camping spot, I just wanted to make other dog owners aware. Thank you for having us

We loved this campsite! Site 3 is a secluded little oasis. There were lots of pickers weaving through the campsite when we were there on the weekend, but once picking closes in the arvo it feels like you’re the last people on Earth. The hosts were super friendly and accommodating. We will definitely book again!

Great campsite. I stayed at Site 5 which was quiet, spacious, and right next to the pond. The place was clean, well maintained, and easy to navigate with clear signage.
Really enjoyed walking through the orchard (grabbed an apple along the way) and the steep walk down to the dam. It’s definitely steep, but the view at the bottom is beautiful. Just be ready for the climb back up.
Woke up to ducks quacking around 5am which added to the experience. With the pond and plenty of shade nearby, it can get quite cool at night.
Tip: bringing a camp toilet is useful as the main toilet is a bit of a walk.
Overall a great stay — I’d happily come back.

Well maintained site, peaceful and quiet. A few horses nearby, and orchard right behind (we weren’t in season for fruit picking though). Portaloo and tap to wash up close by. Flushable toilet and showers a few minutes walk away.
Mini easy hike to a waterfall nearby - watch out for leeches though!
Our highlight was toasting marshmallow under the stars and spotting Jupiter with the kids ✨

What a great place to relax and unwind and so close to Gosford. Sites were generous, a little slope but nothing to worry about. A stroll through forest with the 7m waterfall was stunning. The facilities were in the process of getting a major upgrade but we found the existing ones still worked fine. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

Overview
About
Avoca Beach is a picturesque coastal retreat where the sun-kissed sands meet the gentle lap of crystal-clear waters. Here, adventure beckons with every tide, inviting you to surf the waves, paddle across the serene Avoca Lake, or simply unwind amid the natural splendour. While camping isn't on the agenda, the array of water sports, beach strolls, and local events promise a memorable visit.
When to go
The best time to visit Avoca Beach is during the warmer months, from September to April, when the sun is out and the water is inviting. Winter can be a bit chilly for beach activities, but the coastal walks are still splendid, offering a peaceful off-season escape.
Know before you go
- Check the weather forecast before your visit, as conditions can change rapidly by the coast.
- Avoca Beach is accessible, but some areas may not cater to those with mobility needs, so plan accordingly.
- Be mindful of the local wildlife and adhere to any posted signs or warnings.
- Local shops and eateries are available for your convenience, offering a taste of the region's fresh produce.
- Remember to pack sun protection, especially during the sunny summer months.
