Coastal Camping Adventure: Trails, Beaches, and Battery Woes at Grassy Head.

 Its Wednesday as I begin to write this. 

We are leaving after work on Friday and will undoubtedly arrive at camp well after dark. Work to Grassy is almost a four hour trip. At this time of year the sun set at 17:35 and will be dark by 18:00

We need to run through pre trip checklists and not assume that all is where we think it is. First coffee. Can we wake and make a brew. Then clothing and food. Are all the kitchen requisites in the drawer? Do I have my favourite cup? 

Monday morning walk to Scott's head

How to enjoy a two night getaway at Boorkoom, Diggers Camp.

Boorkoom campground is a clifftop camping site in Yuraygir National Park, near Wooli in New South Wales. It has 11 campsites that are suitable for tents, caravans and camper trailers. It is a great place to enjoy beach activities, fishing, surfing whale watching and walking tracks.

Almost a resort. Site 2 is awesome.

Grassy Head for 2 Nights in the New Tow Vehicle

Hello, fellow campers and travellers! We’re excited to share with you our recent adventure with our new Nissan Xtrail, a hybrid electric car that is perfect for exploring the great outdoors. It’s very fuel-efficient and smooth to drive, and it has plenty of space for both of us and pulls (Wottie) the teardrop camper trailer as if it were not there.

Loch Sport Adventure: East Gippsland Lakes, 90 Mile Beach, and Seals in 3 Days

We reached Loch Sport and took refuge in a sturdy house—complete with a crackling fireplace, a functional kitchen, great company, and expansive views. Situated just a short 2 km jaunt from 90 Mile Beach, we decided to make it our first-day destination, stumbling upon a seal peacefully dozing in the misty afternoon.

A long trip begins with a stay in Canberra

Our long trip begins with a stay in Canberra.

A late lunch and a full tank at the South Kempsey service centre.

As the clock struck 11:15 am, we bid farewell to our workday routines, ready to embark on an epic journey. Our trusty teardrop trailer, meticulously packed and fully charged, awaited our adventure.

Two nights in Byron Bay: Three unforgettable things you have to do.

We left after work on Friday for two nights in Byron Bay. It was a birthday trip. We at tinycamper.blog live only 20 mins from “The Bay” So it was a quick 20 minute trip down from work. We didn’t need to pack much. No fires allowed at the park, and we planned on eating at the restaurants in town, in fact the reason we decided to camp out only 20 mins from our abode, was that we enjoy a few refreshments and to not have to drive home, well a quick walk along the beautiful beachfront would lead us straight to the teardrop, as well as boost our step count a little bit more that normal.

A Weekend Getaway to Grassy Head: The Perfect Camping Spot for Nature Lovers

A short stay in Yamba

Things to do on a short stay in Yamba NSW

Friday morning, and it’s holiday time. There is no need to leave home early as we can’t park the teardrop at the campground until 11:00am and we are not there for long anyway. Breakfast, pack some clothes and swimwear and running gear into the teardrop and drive 90 mins south to the Calypso Caravan Park where we check in and unpack the teardrop for our short stay in Yamba. First up on arrival is to always check our orientation using our excellent sun locator app. The app helps show us where shade may be an issue, especially when relying on solar to keep the battery charged and the fridge cold. we then put out the awnings and annexe, unfold the chairs, get the kitchen sorted and walk into town for a coffee at Yum Yum Cafe at about midday.
