We all love to go out into nature and explore new areas in our tents and caravans, and one of the best places to check out has to be the beach. Swimming, surfing, fishing, or building sandcastles – there’s so much to do at the beach. So, if you want to find out more about campgrounds that are just a few steps from the beach, read on!

Get two bodies of water for the price of one at Seven Mile Beach Holiday Park! In the stunning town of Gerroa, both Seven Mile Beach and Crooked River aren’t too far away. You can hire peddle-carts, bikes, paddleboards and kayaks from reception, or try your hand at fishing or surfing. The unspoilt forest of Seven Mile Beach National Park is also right there for you to enjoy and explore.

When you get back to camp, feel free to enjoy the two swimming pools, playground, inflatable pillow, friendship farm, half-sized tennis court, and camp kitchens and on-site kiosk. During the cooler months, you can also take advantage of Seven Mile’s glowing fire pits.

And, outside of high season, you can bring your dog along, pampering them at the park’s doggy wash bay after a long, mucky walk.

Located just opposite Dolphin Beach while also bordering the Eurobodalla National Park, Dolphin Beach Holiday Park is a great holiday park for anyone who wants to explore everything nature has to offer. Even within the park, the natural bush surroundings lead to many frequent visits from the native wildlife!

The park itself is home to a wide range of activities, from beach volleyball and tennis to the kids’ club, bike hire, lending library and movie hire, a spa and swimming pool, and even a giant chessboard and outdoor movies! You can even gather around the fire pit during the cooler months.

Dolphin Beach Holiday Park is home to 3 pet-friendly campsites and 3 pet-friendly cabins, with some restrictions during busy times of year, such as dogs being kept on a lead. The camp also has one fully accessible cabin, though it has plenty of motorhome and caravan sites.

You’ll find the Holiday Haven Currarong park at the northern edge of Jervis Bay Marine Park, right in between Currarong Creek and Currarong Beach. The sleepy coastal town is a perfect base for a family to explore nearby landmarks like Jervis Bay, Beecroft Peninsula, Point Perpendicular Lighthouse, and Honeymoon Bay.

Even the furry members of the family are allowed to come along on your beachfront and creekside walks here, with both pet-friendly sites and cabins available. Plus, the campsite offers a wide range of school holiday activities, as well as a children’s playground, mini golf, a tennis court, a swimming pool, and a water park. There are accessible facilities and cabins, and of course, WiFi!

Never mind walking – ever visited a holiday park that was practically ON the beach? Here at Brooms Head Holiday Park, that’s exactly the experience you’ll get. While the stunning beaches are perfect for fishing, surfing, and other family fun, the views from the headlands are even more breathtaking. The beach is your gateway to both Red Cliff, north of the park, and Sandon, on the south end of the area. You can also try out the wonderful cycle tracks in the adjacent National Parks.

You have the choice of spacious cabins with gorgeous views of the lagoon and ocean, or the equally spacious caravan and camp sites, both powered and unpowered.

The camp features accessible facilities, as well as school holiday activities, a tennis court, a children’s playground, and a kiosk shop, all right there on the beach.

Located in Chinderah, the Royal Pacific Tourist Retreat’s sub-tropical climate, along with its relaxed lifestyle and amazing beaches, makes it a brilliant holiday spot for families. You get clear views across Chinderah Bay looking toward Mount Warning. Dogs are allowed, subject to park management’s prior approval, and the park has laundry facilities, as well as powered and unpowered motorhome sites, large motorhome sites, and even residential sites!

The beach retreat at Chinderah is slightly inland near the river estuary. Then there are the main surf beaches at Fingal Head or Kingscliff, just a short drive away in both scenarios. You can also cross the Gold Coast border and check out the Tweed Head, Coolangatta, or Kingscliff beaches.
