Hi there intrepid travellers.
We are looking at going to
Coffs Harbour for a look see in September School Holidays next year and thought we would start doing some homework. we take 2 weeks each year to travel and
camp. This year it is
Flinders ranges, so we thought we would plan our next one, and have gone through many of the Threads on the forums and have lots of info to help out, so thanks to all those who have previously commented.
The thing that amazes me is that all of Caravan parks listed seem to be booked out a year or more in advance for powered Camping sites. Is this real? Do they really book out this far in advance and is it hard to get accommodation if staying in a camper at a park?
Alternatively, we can be independent of any park, and can
camp remote for the two weeks, but not ever having been to this region at all, we were a little concerned about finding a
camp site after travelling from
Melbourne to get there.
Does anyone have any advice for a
camp site in the bush, near water, for a camper and small tent, that is quiet?
Any help is greatly appreciated, and thanks to all in advance,
Have a great day!

You can also look south of Coffs.
We have stayed at
Urunga (many years ago). Brigalow is on the south side of town and on the river. It used to be very nice with lots of
open space (even at Christmas). Because it is away from
the beach it does not attract the surfers which means it is quieter and tends to be
young families or the retirees.
There is also a park near
the beach in
Urunga, could be called
Urunga CP. It too used to be very nice. Closer to
Urunga shops but a bit slower getting into Coffs.
There must be another dozen between
Urunga and Coffs. I would be very suprised if in September you couldn't just turn up and find something.
