Bellingen tempts caravan campers with whitewater rafting, snorkelling, and access to big surf swells.
Caravanners can discover the charming community of Bellingen, just a 30-minute drive south of the world-class surfing at Coffs Harbour. Settle into a Bellingen holiday park that features powered sites and comforts like flush toilets, hot showers, and laundry facilities. Or, pay a visit to Arakoon National Park on the coast, roughly one hour south of Bellingen, where caravanners can roll onto campsites with electricity hookups, drinking water, BBQ facilities, and boat ramps before going out to snorkel, swim, and surf at Front Beach. Spring promises the best swells in the area, while winter is the time to watch the annual whale migration. Year-round walking trails run through historic ruins in the South West Rocks area, while campers can find sweeping views along Monument Hill Walking Track. For whitewater rafting, head north of Bellingen to Nymboi-Binderay National Park, where the campground offers picnic tables, firepits, and toilets, along with riverfront pitches that allows caravanners to effortlessly slide the canoe right into the water.
