Why Spring Is the Secret Sweet Spot Before the Summer Crowds Arrive
Just a little over two hours’ drive from South East QLD, the Clarence Coast is starting to stir: golden mornings, soft sea breezes, and wide, quiet beaches ready to be explored. If you’re a family planning the school holidays, this is your moment—calm, coastal, and just far enough to feel like a true escape without the summer chaos.
1. Spring Mornings, Not Summer Crowds
The climate is just right: warm enough for early swims, cool enough for duneside strolls. No lining up for coffee, no crowded beaches your perfect morning is untouched at one of the Clarence Coast holiday Parks 6 locations.
2. Tailored Tranquility: Six Parks, One Peaceful Coastline
Looking for that sweet spot between “there’s nothing to do” and “I need a holiday from my holiday”? Each of our six Clarence Coast Holiday Parks serves up its own version of calm, with just enough action to keep the kids (and you) smiling.
Calypso Yamba Holiday Park
In the heart of Yamba, you can walk from your cabin to the café, beach, or pool without breaking a sweat—or a holiday mood. Perfect for those who want convenience without the chaos.
Iluka Riverside Holiday Park
Think riverside calm, pontoon fishing, and sunset skies that turn the Clarence River to liquid gold. The kind of place where your fishing line moves more than the traffic.
Brooms Head Holiday Park
Beachfront simplicity with bonus kangaroos at dawn, lazy lagoon walks, and a corner store the kids will treat like a theme park.
Minnie Water Holiday Park
Hidden near Yuraygir National Park, where safari tents meet swimming pools, and the loudest thing you’ll hear is a kookaburra laughing at your marshmallow-roasting technique.
Wooli Holiday Park
Caught between river and ocean, it’s the choose-your-own-adventure park: stand-up paddleboarding, fishing, kayaking, or a leisurely stroll to the bowling club-followed by a very serious afternoon nap in the sun.
Diggers Camp
For the true escape artists. This off-grid hideaway sits above the untouched sands of Diggers Camp Beach, reachable only by a dirt road. You bring the supplies, the water, and the sense of adventure -we’ll supply the peace and the stars.
3. School Holidays Without the Headache
Forget the traffic jams and the “are we there yet?” chorus. Spring school holidays on the Clarence Coast are a different breed—where ice-cream lines are short, and the only rush is racing the kids to the best tide pool find. Here, it’s about hunting for crabs between the rocks, debating who found the ultimate marshmallow stick for the campfire, and finally catching those sunrises you’ve been snoozing through all year -before the kids wake up and ask for seconds.
4. Space & Smart Bookings
Beat the summer rush: enjoy more room to choose your perfect cabin or powered site, and peace of mind knowing spring stays still deliver holiday magic.
5. Spring’s Natural Show: Wildlife & Wildflowers
From whales migrating past Yamba’s shores to native blooms in Yuraygir NP, spring here is a nature spectacle—without the summer crowds watching alongside you
