Hi Kegs, Heaps of places to camp

Not certain if you mean caravan parks or camping grounds si I will do both.

Minnie Water CP.. council run is s nice park. fishing in a protected bay like harbour under Minnie Water headland. scenery to die for.

Illaroo camp grounds run by National Park about 2 km from village of Minnie Water proper on a long scollop beach that runs up to Sandon headland see the other post.

Sandon is good but better to go to it from the Brooms head side. There is a caravan park at Sandon on the north side of the sandon river. Whilst you can tackle the beach from Minnie to Sandon on a falling tide with low tyre pressure in a normal car the climb off the beach into Sandon is loose and fine.

Diggers Headland is another coastal nice camp ground in Yuragir between Minnie Water and Wooli.

At Wooli there is a Council run caravan park and a nice ly refurbished private one called Solitary Island something. The park has river frontage at its rear. Fishing in the river behind Wooli is good some good muddies too and from a kyak would be perfect. You can camp on the southern side of the Wooli river if you ferry your stuff across in the kayak.

Good camping at Red Rock and Arrawarra too.

regards
SKI'er

Concur with all of those.

We have camped at Minnie Water a number of times and love it.

My parents recently stayed at the refurbished park at Wooli (I think its just Solitary Island resort ??) and thought it was very nice. Especially being righ on the river should give easy access for Canoe fishing

Redcliff/Lake Arragan, just North of Brooms Head.

Station Creek, North of Red Rock/Corindi. Beautiful, but loads of sandflies when there last Sept.

We have camped at the caravan park at Emerald Beach just North of Coffs. Outstadning caravan park especially if you have kids. Right on the beach and excellent amenities.
