Discover our parks
Clarence Coast Holiday Parks are an established group of holiday parks that provide the ultimate ‘back to nature’ camping style accommodation. Each park has their own unique charismatic charm, attracting travellers from near and far, all year round.
Clarence Coast Holiday Parks are located along the scenic coast of the Clarence Valley in Northern New South Wales. Each of the six parks is surrounded by a stunning natural backdrop, which helps in providing a relaxed and memorable regional camping experience.
The parks each have different accommodation options to choose from, with the group offering cabins, villas, safari tents, and powered and unpowered sites. Clarence Coast Holiday Parks cater to a range of budgets too, with the hope that a camping holiday is attainable for every group or individual. We really do have an option for every visitor.
Our hope is for everyone to experience a memorable ‘camping’ holiday. In this fast-paced, high-tech world, we need to reconnect with nature more than ever. Slowing life right down and taking a step back into enjoying being outside with your loved ones is the remedy for so many of today's ailments. Staying with us encourages you to be outside and appreciate being surrounded by the most beautiful and basic of elements (with a few of life’s necessities or indulgences also found nearby).
The Clarence Coast Holiday Parks are open year-round, with the exception of Diggers Camp which is ‘off-grid’ and seasonal. The parks are highly popular with groups of family and friends, and see a large portion of their guests return year after year.
The summer months are beautifully balmy and are often the time that some of the best camping memories are made. Winter is still mild and warm, yet has an enticing evening chill in the air, perfect for hot dinners and roasting marshmallows on the fire. One thing is for sure, you will return home with a full heart and a handful of the most incredible memories when you stay with Clarence Coast Holiday Parks.

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.
