The following holiday parks are also listed on Sandidumps as dump point locations for Registered Guests.
FREEDOM / PRIMITIVE CAMPING
On the Coffs Coast there are a number of places to stopover for a night or two in your own self-contained vehicle or tent.
- Coffs Harbour has 2 designated free camping spots for RVs in Elizabeth Street near the Greyhound bus stop – refer to the map below for location.
- Other budget and primitive camping options can be found here.
COFFS HARBOUR CBD PARKING
There are several streets surrounding Coffs City Centre with parallel parking spaces suitable for longer vehicles. Most of these are 5 to 8 minutes’ walk from the CBD and major supermarkets, cafes, and retail shopping.
Below is a map with suggested parking areas to easily access CBD shops – while not guaranteed, you can generally find a space, and there are other areas available on the periphery of the city. Ensure you follow the parking and road signage in place. This map also shows dump points and potable water access points in Coffs Harbour.
Please note: Not all streets have footpaths, but all have verges for pedestrian access.
