Beaches, rivers, and hinterland parks are within easy reach of this Northern Rivers Town.
Hidden away between Lismore and Ballina in the NSW Hinterlands, Alstonville provides a quiet spot for campers to escape the crowds of the coastal resorts. Start by taking in the town’s many attractions, including meeting the animals at Summerland Farm, exploring three levels of trails at Duck Creek Mountain Bike Park, and cooling off with a swim by Tosha Falls. Next, head to the North Coast beaches to swim and surf, take a whale-watching cruise, or go fishing and kayaking along the Richmond River. Alstonville camping options include an array of caravan parks with spacious, powered sites suitable for large motorhomes; rural Hipcamps dotted around the Hinterlands; and fully furnished cabins, mobile homes, and country cottages available for rent. Within day-trip distance, you can also hike through UNESCO World Heritage-listed rainforest in Nightcap National Park or pitch a tent right by the beachside at Bundjalung National Park.
