Stuarts Point Holiday Park

Welcome to Stuarts Point Holiday Park, a tranquil coastal sanctuary where the glassy waters of the Macleay River meet the untamed beauty of the Pacific Ocean. Located in the quiet seaside village of Stuarts Point on the Mid North Coast of New South Wales, our park offers an enviable riverfront position that serves as a premier gateway for those seeking a restorative escape. Nestled roughly halfway between Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour, Stuarts Point is a destination defined by its unhurried pace, legendary fishing spots, and spectacular natural discoveries. Whether you are waking up to a golden sunrise over the river or crossing the iconic footbridge for a morning surf, our park provides the perfect sanctuary to disconnect from the modern world and immerse yourself in the natural majesty of the Macleay Valley.

The camping and accommodation experience at Stuarts Point is designed for those who appreciate the simple pleasures of the Australian bush and the sea. We offer a diverse range of stay options, from premium riverfront bungalows and self-contained ensuite cabins to spacious, level grassy sites nestled under the shade of mature native trees. Our park is a haven for water sports enthusiasts, providing direct access to the river for kayaking, canoeing, and stand-up paddleboarding. Our facilities are crafted to enhance your stay, featuring a modern camp kitchen, clean amenities blocks, and a vibrant playground for the children. As a proudly dog-friendly destination (on sites), we welcome your four-legged companions to join the adventure, ensuring that every member of the family can enjoy the fresh salt air and the quiet serenity of our riverside parklands.

Beyond the park borders, the Stuarts Point region is a landscape of spectacular natural discovery. A short stroll leads you to the local village shops where you can find fresh regional produce, or you can embark on the scenic Stuarts Point to Grassy Head walk for panoramic coastal vistas. The nearby Yarrahapinni Mountain provides world-class views from its lookout, while the historic Trial Bay Gaol and Smoky Cape Lighthouse are within easy reach for a day trip. We promote a philosophy of “natural immersion,” where you can spend your days casting a line for flathead, exploring the nearby national parks, or simply relaxing with a book as the river breeze rejuvenates your spirit. Experience the legendary local hospitality and the quiet majesty of one of New South Wales’ most beloved hidden gems. We invite you to discover the magic of Stuarts Point and look forward to welcoming you soon.
