EV-friendly caravan stays on the NSW North Coast
The North Coast is made for a slow caravan trip: arrive, unhitch and use the coast as your base. This guide brings together holiday parks with operator-published EV charging from the Forster-Tuncurry area through Bonny Hills to Coffs Harbour. Check the charge point and your caravan booking together; a charger at a park may be a single shared bay rather than a plug at every site.
Trip shape
Make the drive north in relaxed stages
A practical version starts around Tuncurry, pauses near Port Macquarie or Bonny Hills, then spends a few nights around Coffs Harbour. If you continue to the Northern Rivers, add another stop rather than treating the whole coastline as a single charge. This pacing gives you time to check the vehicle, enjoy a beach day and avoid arriving at a regional charger with a low battery.
Use your exact start point and caravan weight in the route planner. Driving time, energy use and the best charging locations vary with traffic, weather, roadworks, speed and vehicle setup.
- Choose one overnight base for at least two nights
- Set the next charger before leaving each public charging stop
- Save a compatible backup near Taree, Port Macquarie or Coffs Harbour
Stay shortlist
North Coast parks with designated guest charging
Reflections lists Tuncurry, Bonny Hills and Coffs Harbour among its NSW parks with EV stations. The Coffs Harbour park page lists two 7 kW charging stations and says guests may use the designated charger; charging from campsites or roofed accommodation is not permitted. The network page describes Type 2, 7 kW equipment for paying guests. Ask the other parks about their current charger count and booking process before travelling.
On the road
Treat park charging as the overnight top-up
Before leaving Sydney or Newcastle, check live options on the NSW charging map and your preferred charging app. Plan a highway fast-charge stop that suits the car, then arrive at the park with a reserve for local exploring. If a holiday-park charger is occupied or offline, the route should still work using a public charger in the nearby town.
Caravan towing can change range sharply. Keep energy margin for detours, headwinds and the final drive to the park, and check charger bays for trailer access before you set off.

- A saved backup stop for the final regional leg
Before you book
Confirm the details that make a charger usable
Ask the park whether charging is limited to registered guests, whether the charger can be reserved, what connector is fitted, how fees are charged and whether a caravan can remain attached while charging. The answer can vary by park and by the bay layout. Do not charge from a standard powered site unless a qualified park operator has explicitly approved the specific EV charging setup.

Common questions
Frequently asked questions
Which North Coast holiday parks have EV charging?
Reflections lists designated guest chargers at Tuncurry, Bonny Hills and Coffs Harbour, among other NSW parks. Check each park directly for the current rules and whether a charger is available for your dates.
Can I use the holiday park charger while towing?
Ask the park about bay length and whether a trailer can remain attached. A charger being onsite does not guarantee a caravan can fit in or beside the EV bay.
