Delicate Campground – Goolawah National Park (CG)

There are a total of 50 sites at this location. The location is suitable for Caravans, Camper Trailers, Camping beside my vehicle, and Tents.

Create some family memories at Delicate campground. Being located in the Goolawah Regional Park area, you can even bring your dog along to the campground to join in the family snaps. A fabulous spot for beach camping, this back-to-basics campground has all the ingredients for a classic beach holiday.

Take your pick of things to do: go surfing near Delicate Nobby; go whale watching or gaze at gulls wheeling in the breeze; go snorkelling or swimming in the clear waters; build a sandcastle or take the kids beachcombing.

Needless to say, this place is popular in summer, so if you’re seeking solitude, try visiting outside peak periods. Spring and autumn offer terrific conditions for beach activities, with the sand dunes keeping the heat and winds at bay.

You can bring your trailer or caravan, and you’re in luck if you want to bring your pooch along as well. Delicate campground is one of the few beach camping areas in northern NSW to allow dogs – though they’re limited to certain areas.

A mobile coffee vendor may service this campground in peak summer holidays.
