If you’re chasing a road trip in New South Wales that blends misty mountain lookouts, cool-climate rainforest walks, and waterfalls you can practically roll out of your camper to reach, the Waterfall Way scenic drive is one of New South Wales’ most rewarding routes. Over six days, this travel itinerary takes you from heritage towns to deep gorges, through Dorrigo National Park’s lush canopy, and out to the coastline near Coffs Harbour. It’s the perfect adventure for travellers who want a mix of gentle walks, spectacular views, and the freedom that only a campervan road trip brings. Along the way, you’ll tick off some of the state’s most well-known natural highlights while also finding a few quiet spots ideal for picnics, paddles, and slow afternoons. 

Litchfield National Park is Top End Australia at its most inviting, where warm cascades tumble into clear rock pools and red sandstone outcrops rise above monsoon forest. 

Just a 90-minute drive from Darwin, this compact park rewards every kind of traveller, from first-time road trippers to seasoned 4WD adventurers. Swim beneath waterfalls, wander among magnetic termite mounds, and watch the afternoon light set Tolmer’s soaring escarpment aglow. Most iconic sights sit close to sealed roads, with excellent day parking and pre-bookable campgrounds for easy overnights. Pick up your Apollo camper from Darwin, stock the fridge, and, with an early pickup, you could be soaking at Buley Rockhole before lunch.

Ready to trade the city skyline for soaring sea cliffs, white-sand beaches, and coastal towns made for slow mornings and salty sunsets? The Grand Pacific Drive is Sydney’s most iconic short road trip, and it is tailor-made for a campervan. In just six days you will roll out of the city through Royal National Park, float across the photogenic Sea Cliff Bridge, linger in Wollongong and Kiama, feel the sea breeze along Seven Mile Beach at Shoalhaven Heads, and sink your toes into the powdery shores of Jervis Bay. 

The loop back to Sydney carries you inland through the Southern Highlands for waterfalls, wineries, and historic village charm. Daily drives are generally short, the roads are sealed and camper-friendly, and there is no shortage of scenic stops to make the journey feel as good as the destination.
