About

Discover our parks


Clarence Coast Holiday Parks is a group of six unique holiday parks nestled along the stunning Clarence Valley coastline in Northern NSW - each one a little different, all of them special.

We're proud to offer the quintessential Aussie camping experience: fresh air, open space, and the kind of simple pleasures that remind you why you needed a holiday in the first place. Whether it's waking up to birdsong, walking to the beach before breakfast, or sitting around a fire under a sky full of stars - this is what we're all about.

Six Coastal Holiday Parks

From the untouched bush setting of Minnie Water to the estuary views at Iluka Riverside, each of our six parks has its own character and its own slice of the Clarence Coast.

What they all share is a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that keeps guests coming back year after year - some for decades. These are places where families make memories that last a lifetime, where friendships are formed over camp kitchens and afternoon swims, and where slowing down feels completely natural.

Camping and Cabin Accommodation

We offer a range of accommodation to suit every style of traveller and every budget — from spacious powered sites for caravans and campervans, to comfortable cabins, safari tents, and villa accommodation for those who prefer a little more comfort without sacrificing the outdoor experience.

You can choose from:

  • Cabins
  • Villas
  • Safari tents
  • Powered caravan sites
  • Unpowered camping sites

Whether you're travelling with young kids, a group of mates, or just the two of you — there's a spot here for you.

A True Camping Holiday

A stay at Clarence Coast Holiday Parks is a chance to properly switch off.

Spend your mornings at the beach. Fish off the rocks at dusk. Walk the coastal trails through Yuraygir National Park. Teach the kids to cast a line. Stay up late around the fire. Sleep soundly to the sound of the ocean.

These are the moments that don't make it onto social media but stay with you for years. We're here to help you have more of them.

Open All Year

Our parks are open year-round, and every season brings something worth coming for.

Summer means long beach days, warm evenings, and the parks buzzing with families on school holidays. Winter is quieter and genuinely beautiful - mild days, crisp nights, campfire season, and the chance to have a stretch of beach almost entirely to yourself. Autumn and spring are the sweet spot for those who like it peaceful.

Please note that Diggers Camp operates seasonally and is an off-grid experience - no powered sites, no distractions, just nature.

Book Your Coastal Escape

If you've been looking for a reason to get away, this is it. Pick your park, choose your dates, and let the Clarence Coast do the rest. We'll be here to make sure your stay is everything a proper holiday should be.

Artist Statement
‘Yarrawali Aagalgu’(River to Sea) is a representation of mighty Biirrinba (Clarence River) – the majestic river that connects our land to the sea. This my homage to Biirrinba.
Myself, and all Yaegl people, see our river as a life-giving vein and the natural river path makes this explicitly so. It is our connection between our Yaegl towns of Maclean, Yamba, and Iluka and their direct line to the sea. These towns are equally evident within this work and are equally special places on Yaegl land, holding as many stories as our river does.
By mapping Biirrinba through the bold and striking white and blue overlay, I am able to put the river at the forefront of the piece. The dashes used throughout the piece swirl in from various angles like the ebb and flow of the river, or the seemingly random night sky (emphasised with the inclusion of three bright stars that represent my two sisters and I). They also remind us of schools of fish and prawns of which our river has an abundance.
Beneath the overlay is a stretch of Biirrinba that curves its way from Maclean past Woodford Island. The surrounding hills of Illarwil and Ashby help frame the river, creating a strong focal point. The colours used on the hills and the river are those we see during the most beautiful time of day in Maclean, sunset.
