First Bay Camping Area

First Bay Camping Area is a small, secluded campground within Gaagal Wanggaan (South Beach) National Park on the New South Wales North Coast, situated along Warrell Creek near Coffs Harbour.

The only way to reach it is by boat — visitors can leave their vehicles at Weir Reserve, Scotts Head, or near the boat ramp at Stuart's Island via Bellwood Park on Riverside Drive, though these parking areas are unmonitored and at campers' own risk.

The surrounding waterway offers kayaking, canoeing, and fishing. Campers must bring a portable toilet and carry all waste out on departure. Bookings are required, and a booking fee applies.
