Woody Head campground
North Coast, NSW
A large beachfront campground in Bundjalung National Park near Iluka, with a sheltered swimming beach, boat ramp and rainforest behind the dunes.
About this place
Woody Head campground is one of the flagship north-coast NPWS camps: 91 sites for tents, camper trailers and caravans at 92 Woody Head Road, with a protected sandy beach, boat ramp, barbecues, showers, drinking water and a seasonal kiosk. The rock platform and rainforest edges are the daytime exploration; Iluka Bluff lookout is a short drive. It is the practical Bundjalung overnight if you are heading between Yamba/Iluka and Ballina. Book well ahead for school holidays. Park entry is included in the camping booking in current NPWS practice — confirm when you book.
