Whether you just bought your first caravan or you’re a seasoned traveller planning your next trip away, here are our favourite caravan parks in NSW to add to your travel bucket list.
The real bonus about a caravan holiday is the freedom to explore! You’re not tied to airport hubs, a train line or being a ‘short walk from public transport’. When you have your own wheels (and accommodation) you get to see the best bits of NSW on your own terms.
So with that in mind, these parks don’t just provide a fancy pool for the kids, where you pull up, plug in, and drive away again a day later. We’re taking you to some of the best spots in the state. This list takes you to truly spectacular parts of New South Wales, so you can explore the beauty and wonder NSW has to offer.
From beautiful beaches and awe-inspiring coastlines, to tranquil, untouched national parks and countryside, we’re sure you’ll find your new favourite on this list. Buckle up, it’s time to go!

5. NRMA Jindabyne Holiday Park
6 Kosciuszko Rd, Jindabyne NSW 2627, Australia
Away from the coast, Jindabyne is famous for one thing: snow. While this means you’ll get to enjoy a winter wonderland, it does also provide difficult road conditions. If you’re a confident driver who knows how to read the road, this is another must-visit location to include on our list.
Trading sunny beaches for snow-filled adventure, Jindabyne is a lovely town with some of the best skiing and snowboarding in NSW if not Australia. Using your caravan to get there, and stay there, brings a ski-holiday into very affordable territory. Make sure you prepare your wardrobe for the cold, then can venture out with both Thredbo and Perisher within reach and daily shuttle buses to help you get there.
All done on the slopes? Discover the picturesque landscape of Kosciuszko National Park via the various hiking trails, try out some water sports on Lake Jindabyne. For something a bit less strenuous, visit the award-winning Wild Brumbies Distillery to sample delicious schnapps and gin.
When it’s time to return to the park, relax beside the communal campfire. Jindabyne is different, it’s beautiful, and a very welcome change to the usual beachy locations we tend to gravitate to.

6. Reflections Caravan & Holiday Park Seal Rocks
Kinka Road, Seal Rocks, NSW 2423
Located in NSW’s Mid-Coast region, the Reflection caravan park in Seal Rocks has large, powered sites to give you a little more leg-room when you unpack the van and settle in. You’ll be able to take the largest of RVs and motorhomes with ease – something not every campsite accommodates. They also offer cabins with scenic ocean views if you want to travel with non-caravan friends.

Nestled between mature, thick green forest on one side with the sweeping views of open beach on the other, it’s perfect for a satisfying and stimulating stay on the coast.
This area is popular with surfers of all sizes and experience. Budding surfers will love Number One beach (seriously, that’s the name) situated right across the road. It’s a 1.3 km sweeping beach with waves around 1m tall, where you can practice your balance and enjoy a little protection from the ocean. Serious surfers will opt for the gigantic waves of the nearby Boomerang Beach.

7. Reflections Holiday & Caravan Park Red Rock
1 Lawson Street, Red Rock, NSW 2456
We go back to basics at Red Rock – a quiet, tranquil location where the stars light up the night sky in such an awe-inspiring display of nature that we can never experience when living in the city. This pocket of paradise is tucked between a coastline and a river, while being dog-friendly, too.
Found 40 minutes north of Coffs Harbour (and, more importantly, the Big Banana), Red Rock is a great place to stop off between southern New South Wales and Queensland.
The simplistic coastal lifestyle here is reminiscent of childhood holidays. The warm invitation for you to explore the stretch of coastline and clear waters are hard to resist.

When it’s time to head inland, pay a visit to Big4 Deniliquin Holiday Park on the banks of Edward River. If you’re looking for somewhere to relax, the calm grassy riverfront with the peaceful, gentle flow of the river is hard to beat. Go bushwalking , do some fishing or lay back and watch the river pass you by. Step up the activity with water-skiing and boating or have fun in the park’s pool and water slides!
Mark some time to explore local attractions like the famous Mosaic Ute, beautiful heritage listed churches, the peaceful Waring Gardens and a giant kookaburra mural. There’s also a playground right next door for the kids to spend some energy.
Deniliquin has a lot going for it, but it also serves as a great excuse to head in-land and explore an Aussie country town, especially for people looking to head onto Victoria afterwards.
If you can time your visit for spring, the town hosts the annual Deni Ute Muster. Thousands of utes converge on the town from all across Australiafor a car show that’s more Aussie than the Summernats in Canberra. In 2025, the Ute Muster is on 3 and 4 October in 2025.

9. Trial Bay Gaol Campground
63 Trial Bay Gaol Access Road, Arakoon, NSW 2431
The Trial Bay Gaol Campground itself has basic amenities – toilets, showers, BBQ area and a kiosk – but its the location, inside the Arakoon National Park along the coastline of South West Rocks that’s the real draw.
Trial Bay Gaol Beach has clear water perfect for swimming, snorkelling and fishing, with a tour of the gaol itself is a necessity while you’re there. This heritage listed prison and internment camp has thick stone walls, tiny bare cells and the harsh realities of solitary confinement in the late 1800s to ponder.
Whales migrate just off the coast each year, so bring your binoculars and try to catch a glimpse of the young calves swimming beside their majestic mothers as they head south in spring. Learn snippets of South West Rocks history via signage along the walking tracks of Monument Hill and Powder Magazine, with local kangaroos providing fantastic photo opportunities.
For a history-laden getaway that makes you grateful for what you have today, while appreciating pristine beach and coastal views, Trial Bay Gaol Campground is the perfect stop-over for a couple of nights or a weekend.
