I had an excellent experience during my stay, with spacious and clean sites surrounded by lovely scenery and welcoming staff. The nearby town offers great dining options, and I appreciated the well-kept amenities. The only downside was that there was no dining on-site during my visit, but the camp kitchen seemed like a nice feature when open.

I had a lovely stay at this caravan park nestled in a beautiful park-like setting. The staff truly made a difference with their friendliness and helpfulness. The amenities were spotless and the communal areas were perfect for relaxation. However, I was a bit disappointed that it wasn't dog-friendly, which was a letdown for pet owners like me.

This park is an excellent choice for families and adventure seekers alike. The location is perfect, just a short stroll to the river and a quick walk to the surf beach. The staff are warm and helpful, and the facilities are well-maintained and top-notch. However, if you're planning to visit during windy weather, be sure to choose a lower site, as the elevated spots can get quite gusty.

This park is a lovely spot for a family getaway. The amenities are clean and well-kept, with plenty of space for kids to play. The added bonus of a free breakfast on Fridays was a delightful surprise. However, it can get crowded during peak seasons, so planning ahead is essential.

The campground offers a mix of grassy and concrete sites, which are great for various setups. We found it comfortable overall, but should mention that leveling might be necessary for grassy spots due to the undulating ground.

The park is conveniently located near town, so it's a short walk to shops and restaurants. It's also close to the ocean, although we could not actually get to the beach due to the river running alongside.

This holiday park is a lovely place to stay, offering plenty of shade from trees and a well-equipped camp kitchen. It's conveniently located just a short walk from Sawtell's main street and the beach. However, the lack of a pool within the grounds can be a downside, especially when the public pool frequently closes for school swim lessons.

Rooms

We stayed in an Ocean Villa that was clean and tidy, providing enough space for our short stay. The only drawback was that it took time to cool down the bedrooms since the air conditioning is in the lounge area.
