Camden Havencamden-haven

At almost 500 metres above sea level, the views of the Camden Haven and surrounding regions from North Brother Mountain are nothing short of spectacular.

Stretching from the rugged escarpments and lush pastures of the Comboyne Plateau to the unspoilt beaches, rocky headlands and stunning views of the coastal strip between Bonny Hills and Diamond Head, the Camden Haven is within a 30 minute drive south of Port Macquarie.

The Camden Haven is renowned for its fishing and beaches, National Parks, State Forests, and outdoor lifestyle. Catch blackfish at Northern Breakwall, pick up a mud crab or two on Queens Lake or take a deep sea fishing charter; discover the rich fauna and flora in Kattang Nature Reserve and don’t miss magnificent North Brother Mountain. This region is a birdwatchers and bush walkers paradise.

It’s quite amazing, but you really can get almost anything you need in the Camden Haven!
Visit the Visitor Information Centre at Kew (open 7 days) for more information.
