Traveling to Grassy Head by RV

Grassy Head sits directly off the Pacific Highway (A1), about 15 minutes south of Kempsey and 45 minutes north of Port Macquarie. Take the Grassy Head Road exit and follow signs toward the beach - it's only a couple of kilometers from the highway. The roads into town handle RVs well, though watch for narrow sections near the holiday parks.

Overnight parking options are limited in the immediate area. The nearest rest area with caravan parking is about 20 minutes north at Kempsey, or you can find truck stops along the Pacific Highway. Some travelers park overnight at the local holiday parks if they're using dump point services.

During summer months and school holidays, traffic along the Pacific Highway can get heavy, especially on Friday afternoons and Sunday evenings. Plan your dump point visits for early morning or late afternoon to avoid the worst congestion. Winter brings fewer crowds but occasional rain that can make some unpaved areas muddy.
