Nine Camden Haven, Laurieton region camping
A camping holiday, in the Camden Haven River region avoids the rush of commuter Friday flights and traffic from Sydney to Port Macquarie and Coffs Harbour. Camden Haven is a step into a classic weekend break in the country. Camden Haven villages can serve a trim soy latte with the best of them yet there is a country charm and not an entertainment venue in sight. You would need to hop into a vehicle and hightail to Port Macquarie for that. Camden Haven offers the opportunity to maximise a long weekend or perhaps two days in the middle of the week. Get away from the bustle and go camping. Take the pooch, check beforehand it is OK.
And, overseas guests why not try an Aussie classic, a camping holiday downunder. A perfect way to get to know a place, share your holiday experience with locals.
