Planning your trip

All campsites listed here are run by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, but they vary widely. Some coastal campgrounds can be reached by car, while others are walk-in or boat-access only. Several Great North Walk camps are numbered, and similar numbers appear in other regions, so match the full campground name before you book.

Popular coastal campgrounds can fill up in holiday periods. Use the NSW National Parks site to confirm whether you need to book ahead, how you get in and whether any alerts are current. Billy Camp does not describe beach conditions, fees or facilities unless the official source records them.
