The quiet seaside villages of Wooli, Diggers Camp and Minnie Water, and the stunning Yuraygir National Park that surrounds them, are the perfect destination for your next camping trip on the NSW North Coast.
Whatever your preferred level of comfort, and whether you’re looking for beachfront, riverside or bush, there’s a caravan park or camping ground to suit your wishes.
There are 7 camping grounds and parks in this area, and we list them all below, complete with details about facilities, number of sites, telephone numbers and links to websites.
The camping and caravan parks/grounds at Minnie Water, Diggers Camp and Wooli fall into these general categories:
- 1 privately managed holiday resort with large sites and full facilities
2 Council-managed caravan parks with some facilities- 1 Council-managed summer-only camping ground with limited facilities
- 2 National Parks-managed campgrounds with basic facilities
- 1 National Parks-managed camping area with no facilities
Camp a few nights at one of these pretty spots and we predict you won’t want to leave.
Most campers return to their favourite camping ground around this part of Yuraygir National Park time and time again.
Others come back to the area to try one of the other camp sites or caravan parks for a different experience.
What’s always the same is the feeling you’re getting away from it all and you’re completely immersed in natural surroundings and close to river or ocean and wildlife.
