Scamander Sanctuary Holiday Park

The East Coast


Just south of Scamander township behind the beach is this affable caravan park, with 20 hectares of wild dune and bush landscape. Sleeping options include powered and unpowered camp sites and quirky canvas safari tents (sleeping up to seven) on stilts above the ground, each with a kitchen, bathroom and little deck. It's a short walk to the beach or into town.
