Best destinations to visit once you’ve sorted your caravan hire in Port Stephens

Fingal Bay

Describing the beauty of Fingal Bay with words is not an easy feat. The postcard-perfect C-shaped beach is a fantastic surfing spot and the ideal location to spend time with your motorhome hire in Port Stephens. But what draws most visitors here, apart from the powdery sand, turquoise waters, and iconic coastline views, is the tiny island that lies a few metres across the beach. 

Every day, a stretch of white sand emerges from the turquoise waters at low tide, allowing curious travellers to cross and explore this natural wonder. Once on the island, the walk to the lighthouse is really worth it!

Tomaree Head

If you love scenic ocean views, the Tomaree Head Summit Walk will delight you. While steep and a little bit challenging, this short walk will lead you to the most rewarding view. Perched 161 metres above sea level, you’ll be able to enjoy sweeping views across the coast. Once on top, soak in the view over the gorgeous Zenith Beach and Fingal Bay to the south and Yacaaba Head and Broughton Island to the north.

Worimi National Park

Managed by the Worimi Peoples, traditional land owners, the 4200-hectare Worimi Conservation Lands brims with natural wonders. The sacred place is home to the southern hemisphere’s largest moving dunes making for the perfect ground for quad biking, sandboarding, and horse riding. The gorgeous Birubi Beach and Stockton Beach also welcome one of the most popular activities in the area; camel riding. 

There’s really something magical about riding a camel among tall shifting sand dunes metres away from the turquoise waters of the Pacific Ocean.

The parking is only metres away from the beach, and the dunes, allowing people travelling with a caravan hire in Port Stephens to enjoy the view from the comfort of their spacious vehicle.

Tilligerry Habitat

Created in 1993, the Tilligerry Habitat Association has done an incredible job at protecting koalas over the last three decades.

Tilligerry Habitat is a 9-ha flora and fauna reserve designed to provide local koalas with food and shelter. Visiting the reserve is free, and during your time there, you’ll be able to spot the iconic animal feeding and sleeping in eucalyptus trees. What’s more, the reserve is also home to over 100 species of native birds and some splendid flowers, including orchids.

Irukandji Sharks and Rays Encounters

Talking about rehabilitation and animal protection, the Irukandji Shelter is another fantastic destination for animal lovers. Its fantastic staff works tirelessly to protect and nurse back to life injured sea creatures until they’re ready to be released into their natural habitat once again. Some of the activities visitors can enjoy include petting rays, feeding sea turtles, and snorkelling with zebra sharks.

The best time to visit Port Stephens in a motorhome, campervan, or caravan hire

Temperatures are pleasant all year round in Port Stephens, which is why many travellers tend to explore the area by motorhome, campervan or caravan. And with a good mix of museums, art galleries, delicious restaurants, and natural wonders, the region offers activities for visitors regardless of the time of the year.

In winter, temperatures vary between 11 and 18 °C. While this might not be the best time for a swim, it’s certainly the perfect season to spot whales migrating to and from warm waters, try sand boarding in Anna Bay, and indulge in local oysters at the Little Beach House. And if you love animals, visiting Oakvale Wildlife Park will make for a great activity.

Spring and summer are the best months for any beach and water-related activities, including swimming with bottlenose dolphins, exploring the mysterious Fingal Island, and watching the sunset on Zenith Beach.

Autumn is a great season to visit the Tilligerry Habitat, a feeding and resting spot for local koalas, walk to the top of Tomaree Head, and explore local museums and art galleries such as the Artisan Collective. Also, visit the North Arm Cover Area to see some authentic Aboriginal artefacts.

Once you have chosen a van, select your dates and send a booking request to the owner and discuss your trip. Once the owner approves your booking you can make a secure payment via our platform.
 
When the first day of the booking arrives you'll meet with the owner to pick-up the van (some owners will also drop-off to your holiday location). They'll guide you through using the van and submit a pre-condition report to our platform.  On return, they submit a post-hire condition report as part of the handover.

Prices for motorhomes and campervans in Port Stephens typically range from $60 to $350 per day. Prices are set by the owner and tend to vary depending on how far in advance you book, the time of year, the type of van you choose and its features (beds, kitchen, amenities, etc.).

What’s included in the van rental?

All the vans on our site come with comprehensive damage cover and 24/7 roadside assistance. Some owners will provide linen as part of the booking, others will charge an extra fee, and some won’t provide linen at all. Be sure to check the details of the van you're interested in to confirm.
