Camping and caravanning at Broken Head
A mere two hours’ drive from Brisbane city, just south of Byron Bay, lies beautiful Broken Head. The gorgeous national park right next to the coast offers spectacular scenery looking north to Byron and south to Ballina. This hush-hush family camping secret (which I guess we’ve spoiled now!) is perfect for a laid-back, no stress, low-key family camping holiday.
If you’re staying in Broken Head you’ll also have access to a great range of activities. There are a number of bush walks run in the National Park, surf schools, staff are always running games and sports at the camping grounds and you’ll have ready access to all the great food and culture Byron Bay has to offer.
