Hi Travelling north on the pacific hwy in a couple of weeks time and looking for a good free camp for the night between coffs harbour and Ballina,if anyone has stayed anywhere in this area and you can recommend a spot with toilets thanks in advance mike g.
Looks like you'll be looking for a roadside gravel pile by the number of replies you've received. A very popular ''touristy'' stretch of coastline. Probably like the great Ocean Road in VIC, no free camps to speak of really.
Have you ever considered pulling off into a State Forest track for the night & using a Porta Loo? We do it regularly. No problems.

I'm with Keith on this one I haven't come across any free camps in recent history a few showgrounds that are a little cheaper, as for rest areas caravaners are generally treated as campers if you pull in for a snooze, some have said they were persuaded to go to a tourist park for the night, but if it's late how are you going to get in? Or worst to keep going when tied, which is not on.
yes thanks guys ,it seems that no one ever travels the pacific hwy now days or if they do theydont free camp,im not going to camp just stop for the nightto resr as the man saysdont drive when you are tired.im always amazed that some offical would think that when towing a van that when we stop for the night to rest we would do it in the car when we have a very comfortable bed 4 metres behind .
Both have lots of road noise as transports rush though the night.
Wiki Camps aps have a couple of low cost showgrounds or recreation areas on the back road from Coffs Hbr. Nana Glen.
We have the need to travel the coast road each year, shutter at the thought of stopping with the continual traffic noise, so we head into showgrounds off the highway.
Grafton, Kempsy, Wauchope, Morisset, Mullimbimby, Murwillumbah all good. Mostly priced around $20 a night.
Not fussed on Maclean they don't love there showground.
Thanks Radar what the ramp like onto and off the ferry as my van is not an off road job with high clearance justa a normal coromal lifestyle.thanks again mike g
