Welcome to Foreshore Caravan Park, an idyllic riverside sanctuary nestled on the banks of the crystal-clear Nambucca River. Located at 25 Riverside Drive, our park offers an enviable position that combines the peacefulness of absolute water frontage with the convenience of being just a short, level stroll from the Nambucca Heads town centre. As a premier destination for those seeking an authentic regional New South Wales experience, we provide a lush, well-maintained environment where the tidal flow of the river dictates the pace of the day. Whether you are arriving for a quick overnight stopover on the legendary Pacific Coast drive or settling in for a multi-week retreat to explore the Nambucca Valley, our park provides a restorative and welcoming base for every type of traveller.
At Foreshore Caravan Park, we pride ourselves on offering a high standard of comfort and a diverse range of accommodation options. Our park is a haven for traditional caravanners and motorhome enthusiasts, featuring level, powered sites that are landscaped to provide easy access and a sense of privacy. For those seeking the ease of a solid roof, we provide a variety of self-contained cabins—including waterfront options—that serve as a practical and cosy sanctuary after a day of riverside exploration. We understand that your pets are cherished members of the family, which is why we are a proud pet-friendly destination for those staying on our caravan and camping sites. With the iconic Nambucca River just metres away, you and your furry companions can enjoy the gentle salt air and the scenic beauty of the foreshore right from your doorstep.
The Nambucca Heads region is a landscape of incredible natural discovery and coastal charm. From our central location, you are perfectly positioned to embark on the famous V-Wall walk, explore the nearby Gordon Park rainforest, or launch a boat directly into the estuary to discover hidden sandbars and fishing hotspots. The town’s major shopping mall, boutique cafes, and award-winning restaurants are all within easy level walking distance, ensuring you never have to travel far for supplies or a gourmet meal. We promote a philosophy of “waterside relaxation,” where you can spend your morning casting a line and your afternoon enjoying the sunset over the river. Experience the fresh coastal breeze, the friendly local hospitality, and the relaxing atmosphere that makes Foreshore Caravan Park a favourite for return visitors from across Australia. We look forward to welcoming you to the river soon.
