Weekend Trip to Hazy Stays

We loved camping at Camp Hazy. It was peaceful and the views are beautiful! The grounds are flat and well maintained. The hosts were very obliging and communication was excellent! The only visitors we had were an old dog that came and said hello when we arrived, and some geese and a couple of ducks. It was very private. It’s only a 3 minute drive to town and beaches! We had a spectacular night watching meteors in the uninterrupted sky 💫☄️⭐️ We will definitely be back

3 nights at Burringbar Camping - The Haven

Stayed for 3 nights at Kates property and it was great. We had the area to ourselves and stayed in front of the bamboo area facing the road so we got full max of the sun for our solar. Was not an issue facing the road side at all. Welcomed on arrival by Kates husband (sorry, forgot his name). Like others have mentioned, firewood & firepit supplied and even down to fire starters! Communication with Kate was excellent. 40 minute drive to Tweed Heads so location is pretty good. Will definitely be back if we need a getaway from the Gold Coast or see another show in Tweed Heads.

Weekend Trip to The Sleepy Hollow Manor Estate

We loved our stay at Sleepy Hollow Manor! The property is incredibly peaceful, and waking up to cows grazing right outside the van was such a cool experience. The location is perfect too, so close to Pottsville Beach and an easy drive to Byron. We had an unexpected issue with our van and had to leave it on the property while waiting for a tow truck. Tom was amazingly accommodating the whole time, with great communication and a genuinely helpful attitude. Couldn’t recommend this spot more. We’ll definitely be back! 🌿🚐🐄

Overview

About

Pottsville Beach, in the Tweed Coast region, is the perfect destination for natural retreat-seekers. Its long, sandy coastline curves around crystal blue waters, offering visitors a glimpse of paradise. Whether you stay in the comfort of a natural bushland caravan park or pitch a tent on the beach, Pottsville’s camping lifestyle has you covered. After a lazy day camping and sunbathing, carve up the waves for some ocean adventures like surfing and stand-up paddle boarding. Bring your fishing rod along and head out during the high tide to reel in some local treasures. With tranquil café-lined streets and endless ocean views, Pottsville Beach is the ultimate escape.

When to go

The best time to visit Pottsville Beach is during the warmer months, from September to April, when the weather is ideal for beach activities and outdoor dining. However, it's wise to avoid peak holiday periods if you prefer a quieter experience. Winter can be less inviting with cooler temperatures and fewer open establishments.

Know before you go

Check the local weather forecast before planning your trip to ensure a pleasant experience.
Be mindful of the environment and adhere to sustainable practices while enjoying the beach.
Accessibility options are available, but it's best to confirm in advance if you have specific needs.
Local markets are a must-visit for fresh produce and unique crafts, so plan your visit accordingly.
Remember to bring sun protection and stay hydrated to make the most of your coastal adventure.
