One Of The Best!

01 Mar, 2025

One of the best Caravan parks I’ve stayed at.

I travelled all the way up the east coast of Australia and this was among the top 5 places I stayed, so much so that I made sure to stop by for on the way back down. I stayed at one of their unpowered spots with a swag. The spot itself is was nice and flat but a little sandy which meant I had to be extra careful when getting in my swag to brush off my feet. Other than the fine dusty dirt/sand, I have no complaints about the unpowered campsite. Next time I would just make sure to invest in a groundsheet or something. It’s also worth me timing that is was one of the more well prices places also.

The park has a fantastic kitchen with a gas stovetop, oven, two hotplates and two BBQ’s, sinks, kettle and plenty of kitchen utensils including pots, pans etc. There is only one fridge/freezer which I found to be very full on both visits, however I still managed to fit all my cold stuff in.

There is also a TV room with comfy couches and free wifi, a small but very cosy pool with shade and spa jets. It was heated to about 27 degrees when I visited.

The shower and toilet amenities are perfectly serviceable. They may not be the most modern but they are perfectly clean. Also probably one of the best showers I’ve had as there was no silly little water saving shower heads and plenty of water pressure.

The staff is very friendly and so are the park residents.

The local seafood is also one of the highlights. Just a 2 minute walk down the road is a fresh fish co-op that had very well prices fresh seafood and fish and chips. Definitely worth checking out while staying.

I cannot really comment on the powered caravan sites as I stayed on an unpowered site with a car and swag but they seem to be good with concrete and also fake turfed surfaces.

Great camp site with clean facilities and surrounded by nature. Our kids loved the pool. Sadly we had to leave early due to a family event but we hope to be back on day.

Relaxed Vibe

01 Mar, 2025

This park is small but comfortable and has a very relaxed vibe.

Friendly staff, hassle free entry. The facilities were clean.

It is located just metres from the Clarence River which has a lovely boardwalk to walk along.

Very close walking distance to the local Sedgers Reef Hotel and the local bowling club which are both pet friendly outside.
