Port Macquarie is a town located on the mid-north coast of New South Wales and at the mouth of the Hastings River. Port has become a very popular holiday destination over the years and tourists now favour the area for many reasons. One main reason is that Port Macquarie has the highest Koala population on the east coast and it is now home to its very own Koala Hospital. People love these furry animals so getting up close with one is truly a special experience. Another reason many people now flock to Port in the warmer months is for the many beautiful beaches and lush rainforests in the region. The area is absolutely spoilt for choice when it comes to Holiday Parks so narrowing it down to just three was tricky!
Here are Campaway 2444 we specialise in the delivery and retrieval of luxury caravans in a 150km radius of Port Macquarie so today we will include three of our favourite Holidays Parks where any of our vans can be delivered to.
NRMA Port Macquarie Breakwall Holiday Park
Location: 1 Munster St, Port Macquarie NSW 2444
Price: From $39 per night
Famous for its outstanding waterfront views, beautifully landscaped gardens and first class service Port Macquarie Breakwall Holiday Park, offers a slice of paradise on the banks of the Hasting River, right by the beach and city centre. Wake up to the sound of ocean waves and smell of the salty sea air from your caravan site. A beachside haven, this holiday and caravan park is a place where guests can take a break from their busy lives and reconnect with the outside world. Being local for our whole lives we can confirm this is one of the best holiday parks on the Mid North Coast.
Boasting absolute water frontage, you won’t find a holiday park in a better location than this in Port Macquarie. You will be able to start your mornings with a walk along the newly refurbished breakwall and boardwalk before heading down to the beach for a mid morning swim.
The restaurant and cafe precinct is second to none and all on a short stroll from the holiday park. During your stay you will be able to enjoy multiple awesome cuisines and dining options at your fingertips. With Little Shack opening right next door to the park, you will be greeted with a beachy setting with great views and delicious coffee and food options.

Horseshoe Bay Holiday Park

Located in the beautiful South West Rocks, Horseshoe Bay is a standout park for both of us located only 60 minutes from Port Macquarie. This holiday park is located on an absolute beachfront location boasting beautiful calm waters for swimming. If the beach is not your flavour there is great family friendly swimming in Back Creek adjacent to the campsite which also offers great fishing for those seeking recreational activities. This park offers a sense of calmness as you look out from your spaciously sized lot to the ocean, creek and nearby mountains.
This holiday park is situated amongst amazing historical sites and awesome cafes and eateries. Trial Bay Gaol is located at the eastern end only 5km away while Smoky Cape Lighthouse is one of the oldest and tallest lighthouses and is definitely worth exploring. Our pick of the cafe options is Back Creek Cafe whilst Riverside Tavern offers food and beverage options.

Trial Bay Gaol Campground
Location: 63 Trial Bay Goal Road, Arakoon, NSW, 2431 – in Arakoon National Park

The campground itself is perched right on the beach front and offers absolutely stunning views from all angles. You won’t be lost for things to do at this campground, especially if you are a lover of the water. Pack your snorkel, swimmers, fishing rod or stand-up paddleboard because the bay and beach located near this campground are perfectly protected for a day in and around the water.
If you are visiting the area in the wintertime be sure to keep an eye out for whales making their yearly migration up the coast and depending on the time of year, you may even witness them making their way back down, hugging the coastline with their calves and they have even been known to rest in Trial bay.
