What to do and see in Newcastle

Your campervan, motorhome or caravan hire gives you the ultimate freedom to explore everything from world-class surf breaks to award-winning wine regions.

Hunter Valley

Hunter Valley

Head west in your RV to Australia's oldest and most famous wine region. With 150+ cellar doors and plenty of spacious caravan parks, you can unhitch and spend your days sampling world-class Semillon, visiting gourmet cheese shops, or taking a scenic sunrise hot air balloon flight over the vines.

Port Stephens

Just a short drive north, this "blue water paradise" is a must-visit for any road trip. Park your motorhome near Nelson Bay to join a dolphin-watching cruise or hike up Tomaree Headland for panoramic views of the coast. The region is packed with top-tier holiday parks right on the water's edge.

Newcastle Beaches & City

Experience the transformation of this vibrant coastal city. Navigate your campervan along the Bathers Way coastal walk, stretching from Merewether Ocean Baths to Nobbys Beach. Don't miss the Newcastle Memorial Walk for incredible cliff-side views or a soak in the historic Bogey Hole rock pool.

Lake Macquarie

As Australia's largest coastal saltwater lake, this is an aquatic playground perfect for a relaxing stay. Whether you're kayaking in the calm bays or exploring the sea caves at Caves Beach, the 90+ small communities around the lake offer a laid-back atmosphere that caravanners absolutely love.

Blackbutt Reserve

Located just ten minutes from the city centre, this 182-hectare wilderness is Newcastle's "green heart." It’s the perfect spot to park up for a picnic and meet native wildlife. Take the boardwalks to see koalas, wombats, and emus, or let the kids burn off energy at the award-winning Richley Reserve adventure playground.

Stockton Sand Dunes (Worimi Conservation Lands)

Across the harbour lies the largest moving coastal sand mass in the Southern Hemisphere. While you’ll need a 4WD to drive on the dunes themselves, you can park your van nearby and join a guided tour for sandboarding, quad biking, or a cultural experience learning about the traditional Worimi owners.
