North NSW Coast Trip December / January

Tens of thousands of people holiday along that stretch of coast at that time every year so if you get wet you will have plenty of company.

School Holidays ... unless you're stuck to that time - avoid it like the plague ....

As mentioned already, it's a very very popular area and will be super busy, so get in early and don't think you'll be alone at all. Have camped over the Xmas / New year period there several times previously and weather was fantastic, though Southerners may call it hot.

If you are near the beach you can drop into the water at any time to cool off.
It rains but rarely for more than 2-3 days at a time, and when it does rain it tends to be heavy then clear up, unlike prolonged southern drizzle.
As long as you make sure your camp site is water proof for a heavy two day event you will be fine. We camped last Xmas east of Grafton and received 40mm, didn't really disrupt our holiday. We have a large silver tarp which we put over our camper trailer and we stay dry, even one Easter north of Coffs and received well over 100mm of rain, again with nothing getting wet. We have been camping there for over 20 years.

Complaining about humidity on the NSW-Qld coast is like complaining about the flies in the inland, it goes with the territory. The fact that it gets crowded that must tell you that people still think it's well worthwhile year after year.
