Where should I stay in Port Macquarie in a caravan park?
Town centre. If it's your first time or you're keen to be close to most of the sights and activities of Port Macquarie, head straight for the centre of town where you'll still have access to local beaches and fishing points on Hastings River.
Bonny Hills. For those that prefer a bit more peace and quiet or to be surrounded by nature, Bonny Hills is the place to be. Long stretches of coastline, bush walks and wildlife are all on the agenda here.
How much does it cost to stay in a caravan park in Port Macquarie?
Unpowered sites cost on average from $30-$80 per night. Powered sites start from $35 and those with ensuites from $95.
How long can I stay in a caravan park in Port Macquarie?
Most holiday parks are happy with long-term stays with prior approval and some even have sites dedicated as residential spaces, such as Flynns Beach Caravan Park.
What should I consider when choosing a caravan park in Port Macquarie?
As a coastal destination, one of the most important considerations is how far you'll have to walk to get to the nearest beach. Keep an eye out for caravan parks with direct beach access and those with the best views.
Families travelling with young children should look out for parks with enough family friendly activities to keep the young ones entertained when you're not out exploring Port Macquarie. Jumping pillows, swimming pools and games rooms are all a big plus.
Couples looking for some quiet time will be best suited to a more intimate park with fewer sites and accommodation. A stay in nearby Bonny Hills ensures lots of space to get out and stretch your legs, and a more tranquil experience as well.
Where can I park a campervan overnight in Port Macquarie?
While street parking is free in Port Macquarie, it can be difficult to find a space big enough for long vehicles. If you do find a spot, make sure you are legally parked and that you check the sign postings to make yourself aware of any restrictions.
Council Rangers conduct random patrols across the region on a regular basis and a large portion of parking spaces in the CBD are electronically monitored. Your best bet is to find a caravan park for the night where you can have access to amenities such as power and bathroom facilities.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We compare from a wide set of banks, insurers and product issuers. We value our editorial independence and follow editorial guidelines.
finder.com.au has access to track details from the product issuers listed on our sites. Although we provide information on the products offered by a wide range of issuers, we don't cover every available product or service.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances.

You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan.
Products marked as 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category.

Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money here.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labelling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle.
