Such an incredible thing to witness this week — a diamond python getting ready for winter! 🐍✨

This 3-metre beauty spent nearly 3 hours working her way through a fully grown possum, then found the perfect sunny patch to start digesting. Right next to the bathrooms 😆 She'll be set for weeks — maybe months — exactly what's needed when heading into winter.

Diamond pythons are non-venomous, totally harmless to humans (if left alone), and an absolute privilege to have around. This is her home as much as it is ours. 🌿

Feeling stiff? Stressed? It might be time for a massage! Massage therapy is known to have numerous benefits to your overall health and well-being, and there’s no better place to relax than Waves.

Come see us at reception to book with the one and only Fiona. She offers one hour or one and a half hour sessions, with most availability on Saturday and Sunday afternoons. Scheduling outside those hours can also be possible, with enough heads up. Call us for any inquiries!

Crescent Head and Waves offer you plenty of options for beach days! Even better, access to Big Hill Beach and Delicate Nobby Headland is less than 50M from the entrance of our campground! An easy walk, check it out for a swim, a game of volleyball, or a surf!

Regardless of the beach you choose, we have surfboards and wetsuits available for rent at reception. We offer both half and full day options at affordable prices, because Waves is for everyone- and there’s a wave for everyone out front!

Not a surfer? No worries, we have boogie boards for rent as well! However, we also always recommend looking into Crescent Head Learn to Surf School. Both private and group lessons are available to schedule.

Introducing Walter the Koala for our first Wildlife Wednesday! Waves is lucky to have plenty of animals stay with us, and one of our favorite regulars is Walter.

His hobbies include posing for photos, hanging around, long walks on the beach, solving world hunger (yet telling nobody), and taking well deserved naps- among other things. Which Walter are you today?

Special thanks to Sue for capturing these photos!

It’s Waves’ 10th anniversary! An entire decade of fun with friends who became family. From starting with humble beginnings to offering years of comfortable and affordable camping, thank you to everyone who has been a part of it. We wouldn’t be who we are without our wonderful staff, volunteer crew, and - most importantly- our campers.

In honour of our ten years, we are offering your 10th night free! Come stay a while! Kick your feet back and relax- because after all, what’s one more night? Give our friendly reception staff a visit or call for any questions. Happy Camping!

An all-dark gray kookaburra has been staying at Waves recently! This type of bird is a rare sight in Australia, and we’re super excited to have spotted him around the campground.

Got any photos you want to share? Message us! We always make sure to keep an eye out for any animals on site, and love to hear about our local wildlife!
