Dreaming of your next adventure? From the North Coast’s peaceful beaches to the historic villages of country NSW, there are destinations to suit every family.

With a vibrant tourist scene and incredible views around every bend, endless adventures await on the north and south coasts of NSW. The only thing left for you to do is choose a direction. Would you go north or south?

Drive north and discover Paradise

Water sports, rainforests, and relaxation await on the NSW North Coast. From Sydney to Kingscliff, Ingenia Holidays has conveniently located parks spread all along the north coast, so you need only pick your parks to plan your trip, then stay a few nights in each to uncover the adventures on your doorstep. Your next holiday could look a little like this:

Begin in Lake Macquarie

Less than two hours north of Sydney, pull your van into BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Lake Macquarie. Here you’ll find excellent sites and facilities just steps from the waters of Australia’s largest coastal lake. Hire kayaks and paddle from Mannering Park to Deadwood to see the best of the lagoon. Head to Blacksmiths Beach for surfing, picnicking, and fishing off the breakwall. Then try the Sculpture Walk from Warners Bay to Eleebana.

Next stop: Nambucca Heads

Four hours north is laid-back Nambucca Heads, where you’ll find Ingenia Holidays White Albatross. If you’re looking for a perfectly positioned holiday park, this is it. Set where Nambucca River greets the ocean it overlooks the V Wall outdoor gallery. Main Beach is great for swimming and surfing or take a river cruise to see nature in all its glory. A stroll to Captain Cook’s Lookout is a must with stunning views all around.

Beautiful Byron Bay

There’s a certain vibe in Byron Bay that you have to experience for yourself. Stunning beaches, eclectic shopping, and celebrity sightings are some of its many attractions. Park your van at Ingenia Holidays Byron Bay and gorgeous Tallow Beach will be your backdrop each day, along with a throng of native wildlife. Stand at Australia’s most easterly point at Cape Byron Lighthouse, wander through the Byron Farmers Markets (held each Thursday) or explore the delightful rainforest hinterland.

Last stop: Middle Rock

On the way back, stop at Ingenia Holidays Middle Rock in lovely Port Stephens. You’ll be right on One Mile Beach, perfect for a picnic or a refreshing swim, and not far from Stockton Beach if exploring the vast sand dunes is more your speed. If you have time, visit the Port Stephens Koala Sanctuary for a final ‘wild’ adventure before heading home.

Start off at Shoalhaven Heads

Next stop: Broulee

Set the GPS and head off on a two-hour drive to BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Broulee. Shark Bay and Broulee Beach are both easy strolls from the park for swimming, surfing, or beachcombing.
