Usually quiet, but I don't know about that time of year.

Easy to get to , but does require a 4wd.

River always has water in it.

Where the creek meets the Turon at the Woolshed flats.
Does get busy on long weekends, but you can always find a spot away from the crowds.

If not just keep going post the diggings. Plenty of spots further along.

Although I must admit, with the van on, the Diggings is the easiest to get to !! The steep hill out is a bit harder than going down !!

We are going a bit further north to Birubi Beach near Port Stephens I think your best bet would be to ring around and see who has sites available.
