Forster Holiday & Caravan Park - Things to see and do

One of the little-known gems of Forster and the Barrington Coast is the incredible food experiences on offer. Take time when you are here to explore the Great Lakes Food Trail and enjoy local wineries, artisan bakery, boutique breweries, natural products, giftwares and more.

We are famous for our pristine waterways, secluded beaches and coastal walking trails and over 190kms of absolute stunning coastline. Take a relaxing stroll on the beach, have a dip, grab a boogie board and hit the sand dunes, or take the 4WD along the beach stretches. For the more adventurous, a sunset horse-back ride along the white sands with Horse About Tours could be for you.

Deep sea, river and lakes, rock fishing, even give prawning a go! Great Lakes Fishing and Tackle is the one stop fishing shop and Luke will be happy to share the latest fishing tips and best local spots to cast a line.

With an abundance of national parks, state forests, nature reserves and conservation areas, nature lovers will be spoilt for choice. Just an hour’s drive away you can experience the state’s tallest single-drop waterfall, Ellenborough Falls, at 200m and the tallest tree at the Grandis picnic area.

Bring your paddleboard or kayak to Forster and take advantage of the calm waters of Wallis Lake. Surf the waves at One Mile Beach, water-ski on Wallamba River, or dive the shipwrecks and amazing coastal reefs off Seal Rocks. Walk the break wall for dolphins galore and spot a whale as they pass by. Local operators are happy to supply you with all the gear you need, lessons, tours, and cruises to make sure your holiday is fun filled and carefree.

The region is known for amazing fun-filled markets and local events. Keep up to date with upcoming events and start adding in these key event dates to your future travel plans.

Distance from park: 11.5km

Escape in the glorious display of 800 motorcycles when you visit Australia’s largest museum for vintage, veteran and classic motorcycles. Here you will see Corgis, but they are not ruled by the Queen, you will also see Levis and Cottons, but it won’t be part of a fashion show, and you will see Warriors and Triumphs, but not on a battlefield.

Always keep one eye on the water as the chance of seeing dolphins is pretty high! Stroll along the foreshore, climb the lookouts and don’t forget whale season each year for spotting Humpback mothers and calves. To get up close and personal or relax on the lake maybe a cruise is more your style. We recommend local suppliers Amaroo Cruises.

This may be river country, but the mountains and bush should not be missed. Go for a horseback ride on a trail to the white sand of Nine Mile Beach or through the trees of Riverwood Downs. Sunrise, sunset, overnight camps, or romantic picnics - it's yours to choose. Horseabout Tours have fantastic, trained guides who will help match you with the right horse. Whether you're a beginner or an expert, this is an afternoon that everyone will enjoy.
