A report is being prepared for the Coroner after a man died in a caravan fire north of Port Stephens.

Firefighters were called to a property on Booral Road at Girvan, about 20 kilometres southwest of Stroud around 7.00pm on Thursday to reports of a caravan on fire.

They quickly extinguished the blaze, however the body of a man was found inside - he is yet to be formally identified.

Police have set up a crime scene as investigations into the cause of the fire continue, but it's not thought to be suspicious.

Anyone with information about the incident is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.
