Planning your trip

Most campsites here are run by NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service. A few have a different manager, including Richmond Valley Council and the caretaker of Cabarita Beach Pony Club Grounds, so arrange those stays directly with them.

Coastal campgrounds on this stretch can be popular in school holidays, and some are reached by unsealed roads or are affected by flooding after heavy rain. Use the NSW National Parks site to confirm bookings, access and current alerts. The word beach or bay in a campground name is not a promise about access or facilities. Check the campground page for what is provided before you go.
