Wauchope is a beautiful rural township, located approximately 374 kilometres north of Sydney in the mid-north coast region of New South Wales. What was once a thriving timber town, Wauchope is now a popular tourist destination with vibrant cafes, quirky markets and boutique stores. Wauchope is also a natural wonderland, surrounded by 40,000 hectares of national parks and state forests, and situated on the Hastings River with the Bago Mountain as a backdrop.
RV travellers are well catered for in Wauchope, with ample parking options available and good facilities. The camping ground adjacent to Andrews Park on Cameron Street offers overnight parking at no charge, with toilets and bins provided. For longer stays of up to 96 hours, the Wauchope Showground on High Street has sites for $20 per vehicle per night, and a dump point and potable water are also available at this location.
Visitors will find much to do in and around Wauchope, including the Timbertown heritage theme park, the Billabong Koala and Wildlife Park, and Bago Vineyards.
