Caravan, Campervan & Motorhome Owners

Welcome to Central Coast

The Central Coast Council welcomes all caravan, campervan and motorhome owners to the Central Coast area.  Whilst the Council encourages you to utilise the various Caravan Parks located in Turners Beach, Ulverstone, West Ulverstone and Penguin, it has passed a resolution to allow campervans and motorhomes to rest for up to 48 hours in any of the rest areas within the municipal area.

Any stay must be no longer than 48 hours and is limited to self-contained (Toilet and Shower) motorhomes and caravans. The use of tents and non self-contained vehicles are not permitted in these rest areas. Visitors are reminded that there are no site services, and they must remove all their own rubbish.

Preferred rest areas:

The Council has not defined any specific rest areas, but it has identified a number of preferred areas for the use of visitors to our municipal area:

  • Midway Point Reserve - Preservation Drive, Preservation Bay;

  • Nicholson Point, Ulverstone - beside the Leven River, west of Anzac Park.
    continue along Kings Parade into Lovett Street, turn left into Ihlata Street and right into Riverside Avenue. Entry is sign posted, to an opened area near boat ramp.

  • Forth Recreation Ground - limited to designated area only. The waste skip bin that is located near the Forth Football Clubhouse is available for disposal of rubbish.

Unsuitable rest areas:

Some areas have been designated as unsuitable for overnight stays and are signposted either as ‘no camping’ or ‘no overnight stays’.  These areas include:

  • Esplanade, Turners Beach;

  • Dial Street, Ulverstone;

  • Lions Park, Penguin; and

  • Sice Avenue, Blythe Heads

Waste Dump Stations:

The Council has provided wastewater dump stations at:

  • Victoria Street (northern end), Ulverstone; and

  • Stubbs Point, Penguin.

We would urge you to utilise the dump stations provided and to leave the rest areas in at least the same, if not better, state than you found them in.

We hope you enjoy your stay but would ask that you respect our community policy by only staying for up to 48 hours in any one rest area.
