Dreaming of your next adventure? From the North Coast’s peaceful beaches to the historic villages of country NSW, there are destinations to suit every family. With a vibrant tourist scene and incredible views around every bend, endless adventures await on the north and south coasts of NSW. The only thing left for you to do is choose a direction. Would you go north or south?
Water sports, rainforests, and relaxation await on the NSW North Coast. From Sydney to Kingscliff, Ingenia Holidays has conveniently located parks spread all along the north coast, so you need only pick your parks to plan your trip, then stay a few nights in each to uncover the adventures on your doorstep. Your next holiday could look a little like this:
Less than two hours north of Sydney, pull your van into Ingenia Holidays Lake Macquarie. Here you’ll find excellent sites and facilities just steps from the waters of Australia’s largest coastal lake. Hire kayaks and paddle from Mannering Park to Deadwood to see the best of the lagoon. Head to Blacksmiths Beach for surfing, picnicking, and fishing off the breakwall. Then try the Sculpture Walk from Warners Bay to Eleebana.
Next up, stop at Ingenia Holidays Middle Rock in lovely Port Stephens. You’ll be right on One Mile Beach, perfect for a picnic or a refreshing swim, and not far from Stockton Beach if exploring the vast sand dunes is more your speed. If you have time, visit the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary.
Four hours north is laid-back Nambucca Heads, where you’ll find Ingenia Holidays Nambucca Heads. If you’re looking for a perfectly positioned holiday park, this is it. Set where Nambucca River greets the ocean it overlooks the V Wall outdoor gallery. Main Beach is great for swimming and surfing or take a river cruise to see nature in all its glory. A stroll to Captain Cook’s Lookout is a must with stunning views all around.
There’s a certain vibe in Byron Bay that you have to experience for yourself. Stunning beaches, eclectic shopping, and celebrity sightings are some of its many attractions. Park your van at Ingenia Holidays Byron Bay and gorgeous Tallow Beach will be your backdrop each day, along with a throng of native wildlife. Stand at Australia’s most easterly point at Cape Byron Lighthouse, wander through the Byron Farmers Markets (held each Thursday) or explore the delightful rainforest hinterland before the journey home!
The NSW South Coast offers a certain kind of magic unlike anywhere else. From beaches and bays to walks and wineries, the coast between Sydney and Eden offers a world of adventures and plenty of Ingenia Holidays locations to park your van. With multiple parks to choose from, create your own itinerary or try the one below:
If you're ready to hit the road, heading south from Sydney, make sure to stop at the beautiful Lake Conjola for a truly memorable getaway. Just a couple of hours down the coast, this serene destination offers a perfect balance of relaxation and adventure.
