Illaro Campground
Last Updated Jan 2014
Camping right on the beach in a spacious, although (of course) sandy campground.
This campground is broken into two sections (north and south) although both are fairly similar, it does offer a little more separation for those who prefer things quiet.
There are plenty of shaded sites, but of course, being on the coast, things can get a bit windy most of the time.
Being on the coast, this area is ideal for those who like to beach fish, snorkel or just stroll along the beach.
There is some great canoeing in the Wooli River and if you have a tinny, there is a boat ramp just south at the town of Minnie Water. There is 4WD access to the beach from the campground.
A large (separate) Group Camping spot nearby offers online bookings and gated entry. This would be handy for large groups who would like to make sure they are going to get a spot.

Location information for Illaro
This campsite is in Yuraygir National Park
A large, unspoiled and undeveloped stretch of coastline makes this a great area for those who like to get some sand between their toes without sharing the space with cafes and pubs.
This site is accessable by caravans in good weather.
Although the last section of the road in is dirt, it is accessible by caravan.
From the Pacific Highway, about 12 km south of South Grafton, turn east onto Eight Mile Lane. Follow the signs via Wooli Road and Minnie Waters Road (aprox another 34km)
