- Welcome back to another episode, this time I'm up on the NSW coast at Pebbly Beach which is approximately 40ks north of Coffs Harbour.
I reckon is one of the best beach camps you will find in NSW. Such a stunning location with something for everyone, But ... you have to put your vehicle through a salt water creek to get there, make sure you check the tides before crossing.
I hope you enjoy the content, please like and subscribe to the channel and even drop a comment, it's greatly appreciated.

Thanks for sharing mate, Will have to put on the list!
You definitely must … you will enjoy it when you get there. 👍🏼
Wow, brought back great memories from many trips into Pebbly with the kids 20+ years ago. Thanks mate :)
Might need to head back in and refresh them memories, doubt it’s changed to much though ??
Pebbly Beach is just wonderful. Love it.
It’s awesome ! 👍🏼
Top vid mate. Yep the bushy awnings are the best IMO. Love mine
Thanks mate, i didn’t really rate Neil’s awning to tell the truth, might of just been the rack it was mounted to?
I was the one that suggested the Bush Company to him. 🤦🏽
Thanks legend. Been wanting to get a good look at Pebbly Beach camp ground. We camp not far from there and go to Arrawarra. This is on our list now thanks you. Nice work bud.
No problems Barney, it’s definitely worth a look, just pick the right tides mate and it no problems at all. 👍🏼
Looks great mate. But check put Brooms Head too. Can camp right on the beach at the caravan park, fires allowed and no salt water crossing required. Just a bit closer to the neighbours..
Yeah. I have camped at Red Cliff a fair bit when I lived up on the Goldy. Definitely nice at Brooms head but where’s the adventure if you just drive in on the blacktop ?! Sandon would be my pick over Brooms Head as you can jump on the beach and go for a drive.
Thanks for watching and taking the time out to comment Keith ! 👍🏼
Thanks, great video! When crossing the creek to get to the campsites, do you think it makes a difference in water saltyness if you arrive/leave on an outgoing tide?
It could be a bit more brackish but I’d say unless there has been rain recently it would be more salty than fresh. It’s not a big system up stream. On dead low tide it would be less then a foot deep in most spots.
I’m guessing if you like your vehicle you will be washing it either way.
It’s well worth spending a few bucks at the local car wash or even head up Dorrigo way and find a river crossing to give the underside a good clean.
Nice spot cheers for the info
No probs mate, just make sure you book in the busier months if you plan on going. 👍🏼
Yeah mate, it’s a gem. Woody head ( just watch out for white pointers if your in a yak ), Sandon, Hat head, all good. Thanks for the vid. Cheers BobbyB.
Yeah Bobby, some good spots around. Like Sandon, just hard to get a camp, use to camp a lot at Red Cliff etc near Brooms Head, but has nothing on Pebbly. Also use to camp on the beach at Kemps Corner just south of Hat Head before we got caught by NP’s learnt me lesson there! 🤦🏽😂
Nice to catch up with family.
Great trip Gav, love the beach.
Too long between visits for me at the moment.
Great spot that’s for sure. 👍🏼
Best beach camping in NSW, as recommended by the best travel productions on RUclips in Australia at the least 😊
This is one beach that always goes well on RUclips. I just followed the lead of many others. But the only difference is I’ve been there many times before, I love the place.
Hey Gav lucky you went when you did as the VIC Alps are getting a flogging with the rainfall, pour old Sale copping it bad as well. All the major Rivers are up as well over 300mm - take care brother
I’m currently up on the Snowy 2.0 project, was getting snow 2 days ago. That episode was from about 5 weeks ago.
Massive rain up at Hotham I heard, crazy fires to floods… definitely climate change. 🤦🏽😂
Another cracking vid mate, crappy weather camping beats a good day at work……safe travels mate, looking forward to the next one 🍺🍺
That’s for sure mate… most days beat a good day at work these days ! Thanks for watching Alan, appreciate it ! 👍🏼
Great spot I'd never heard of mate, thanks for sharing, definitely one to add to the list. I can see why it'd get popular at peak times!!
Definitely put it on the list mate if your following the coast line up north. Few other good one but that’s the pick in my eyes Jase 👍🏼
certainly will mate @@aguyandhistroopy
Cant say I’ve driven on a beach before sick episode mate keep em coming 🤙
It’s not as much fun as they say it is mate. The troopy hates the soft sand… this wasn’t quite as bad !
Thanks for watching and taking the time out to comment Braydo. 👍🏼
Nice camp spot mate will my hylux 2 inch lift get in there 🇦🇺🙏🍻🍻
You’ll have no dramas, only issue is the tides, time that right and it’s a breeze. If it’s not low tide, don’t drive the fence line as can get deep over near the exit ramp.
Envious of both your rigs gents. Beaut spot too. New sub from NZ. Great vid
Thanks Pete, have to love the old rigs mate. 👌
Appreciate you jumping onto the channel, hope you enjoy what you see. 👍🏼
Great drone shots, loved the colour between the water and the rocks. Nice camp mate 👍
Could of had about 3 hours of drone footage I reckon. It’s bloody nice, even better when the weather is turning it on ! 👍🏼
Great vid, nothing beats a fire beside the ocean ❤
It’s not camping unless you have a fire I always say.
Thanks for tuning in. 👍🏼
Enjoyed watching, cheers again 👍🍻
Thanks you for taking the time out to watch mate … it’s greatly appreciated. 🍻
Thanks Gav another variation to the beautiful high country, looks like you both enjoyed yourselves. Hope you gave the Cruiser a good wash down 👍thanks once again Gav for another great episode buddy, take and be safe 😊
Thanks Brad, what’s a bit more rust. 🤷🏼🤦🏽😂.
Trying to mix it up a bit, but not long now and the seasonal closures will be opening up again.
Appreciate the support guys ! 👍🏼
NSW has beautiful beaches . I love Hat Head National Park .
Love that area around Crescent Heads, use to camp at Kemps Corner until we got caught, threatened with big fines so now I won’t camp illegally on the beach unless it’s real remote.
@@aguyandhistroopy That is a shame that you can’t camp there . Enjoy your troopy van .
Awesome mate , such a great place. I bet it’s crowded this weekend
Any sort of holiday Shad it’s busy. People set up ghost camps a month or so out from Xmas to make sure they get a spot. It’s crazy !!
Great stuff Hubs, Good /different.
I’ve never beach camped before, driven them yes ,
so many places to explore.
Good job, thank you 🙏.
This wasn’t actually a real beach camp spot. 🤦🏽 but it’s nice to have some grass to wipe the sand off Luca. I’m like most older guys… not a big fan of sand, especially in the swag !
Thanks for the support mate. 👍🏼
Great Vid. I haven't been to pebbly in about 25 years or more. I used to go a lot back in the 80's and early 90's in my FJ45. The camp sites have definitely improved since then. Back then you used to be able to drive along Freshwater beach and all the way to Jones point (The other side of Wooli) Pretty rough tracks but good fun. You would be lucky to see a person on Pebbly at Easter time. Amazing place mate, thanks for sharing. 🙂
They would have been the days Shayne, you most likely hate it there now.
I reckon that track would be well and truely overgrown, most likely closed for 20 years, can’t let anyone have any fun these days.
Thanks for watching mate and taking the timeout to comment.
Would still love to get back there. Have to go mid week probably. Was stoked when I saw you've done a vid on Pebbly.
Take care.
@@shaynesmith684 definitely mid week is the go! 👍🏼
Nearby town?
@@RodBartlett-ed1wk it’s in between Coffs and Grafton. There’s a Shell Service Centre called Halfway Creek. That’s probably the closest landmark.
Good stuff mate, bit different to the norm. Cant beat a bit of beach driving. Used to live in Hervey Bay and spend a bit of time on Fraser and DI but being back in Vic you surely do miss it.
Definitely miss DI, even though it’s getting pretty hectic up that way these days, always wanted to do Morton Island but never found the time. That’s the one downfall of being in Vic. No real beach camping and driving. 🤦🏽
Hi mate - you mentioned in the video that sites can't be reserved but we've booked online - do you advise getting there early just in case our site has been taken by someone else?
We've booked according to the National park site etc.
Sorry, if you book a site you should be right. All sites are numbered so that would be allocated to you.
Think what I meant was you won’t get a spot over the xmas period as it’s so busy. Regular campers over Xmas set up ghost camps a month out.
Hope you enjoy your stay, remember the tides. 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy Thanks for replying mate. When it comes to reviewing tides - what site or phone app do you use to tell? cheers :D
@@LocktIn sorry for the slow reply. Up in the high country filming.
I’ve never found an app that’s been accurate for that area to tell the r truth. They all a bit hit and miss.
I unsure if you can contact the caretakers - managers and see what they say.
I’ve always manage to get there in a pretty low tide even when the charts are saying it should be high tides.
A couple of my friends camped there a few months ago. I was supposed to join them but I was off filming my four days in Tumut video series. Looks like a fantastic place
Correction.
I jumped the gun there, they went to Pebbly Beach down towards Batemans Bay
@@mudgutzadventures436 yeah. I had some cousins comment of a Insta post saying it’s in their backyard. Thinking to myself nah it’s not… bit of research later I caught on to it. Seems like a nice spot also. 👍🏼
@mudgutzadventures436 let’s be honest. You only made your Tumut video because you didn’t know what Pebbly Beach to come to. Next time we’re going to Shelly Beach. Surely, you can find that one.
G'day cob. I'm heading south looking for a mad spot. Might check it out
It’s a cracker of a spot, might be busy over holiday periods. Just remember to check the tides if you do go. 👍🏼
super Vid, well done. Question, do you really need a high clearance 4Wd for this spot?
Nah, I don’t reckon it’s necessary, but definitely a 4wd not AWD. The exit into the beach can be a bit soft as can when you cross over the estuary, but the beach driving is hard compacted sand.
Just check the tides when heading there.
@@aguyandhistroopy excellent, yes thats what i thought also. ty
@@dinodadog71 more then welcome.
If you’re going in school holidays or public holidays it pays to book. Can get very busy, especially Xmas time .
Nice spot mate👍
It’s up there I reckon. Appreciate you watching 👍🏼
Is that salt water you’re driving in ?
Yeah mate, certainly is. 👍🏼
100% it is.
Bloody Oath Scott! 👍🏼
@@aguyandhistroopy I grew up in Grafton, know the area well. Plenty of memories staying at the station creek campground pre 4wd ownership as well. Some ways its a shame the best camp sites in NSW are tied up in National Parks, but on the other hand it means they should always be available for people to enjoy, forever.
@@scottroygbiv true, but speaking to the care takers the next generation of NP ( prob Vegan ) don’t want it to stay as a camping spot. Let’s hope that’s not the case.
You done a bit of Nymboida region. Nice area over that way too!
@@aguyandhistroopy well thats bullshit. It is the best campsite, why close it. Fingers crossed, people can wake up and stop trashing camping and 4wd locations so NP dont have to spend $$ cleaning up peoples mess and closing the places.
Nymboida area is awesome. My goto spot though, my fave place to camp anytime is buccurumbi and Dalmorton. Something about that old road and its history and my childhood memories just keeps drawing me back every year. More then happy to drive 5 hours from home to just relax and let it all sink in.
@@scottroygbiv yeah, it’s a great area. I’ve only scratched the surface when I was up on the GC living.
Well it was ………..
It’s definitely not a secret mate. You’ll be lucky to get a spot in the holidays as it is. I don’t think my little YT channel will impact it that much mate !! 😂😂🤷🏼
