We visited here with 2 families with teenage kids for 5 nights over the October long weekend in school holidays. We booked 2 x tent/camper trailer sites down the southern end of the park. This end seems to have some sites with new astro turf which is nothing short of glorious:-) although it appears this is a slow replacement process, so not all the sites are like this and you would be best to check before you book, if this is your preference. We found this park to be very well run with fantastic amenities from the 2 lovely pools, the cafe with very yummy food and ample toilet and shower facilities (showers are hot with great water pressure). These amenities are cleaned once a day, which I have seen some people complain about in their reviews, but hey, you're camping and I did not find them to be overly dirty at their worst (and I'm a fussy camper). They also have security walking the park in the evening ensuring the noise is kept to a minimum which I felt was good. The location is also top notch, being only a short walk to a beautiful beach with gentle waves. As we were there during peak time, we got to enjoy the Mrs Whippy Van that comes around twice daily, the prawn man in his van as well as the food trucks on the "village green" area at the front of the park. There is a huge council skate park and a playground only a short walk out of the park as well as markets on a Friday night with more food trucks and stalls, although not sure if all this would be available outside of peak times like school holidays, Easter and Christmas. There are a lot of birds in this park which is a plus and a minus. The bin chickens are lurking and you really do need to put all your food away or they will raid your site when you are not there. Even though our kids didn't participate in the planned activities the park puts on, I have to commend the effort they go to at the "Sand Bar" which is the area that these things take place. The staff took the time to explain everything when we walked past for a look/see and there is a lot to keep kids busy throughout the day. And on that note.....the only thing we found to be a downside (and this may not bother all) is that it was super busy at this time with loads of young kids. I don't think I have seen so many little ones in a park ever! You have to be extremely careful driving around here. Kids are flying around on bikes and dinkies everywhere and think nothing of darting out in front of you. The sites are also very close together so if being out in the open spaces is your jam, then you may want to look elsewhere. Overall this park exceeded our expectations and we really enjoyed our stay. We definitely recommend a stay here, but for next time we would probably book out of school holidays as our teens are at an age where we are almost out of the "circus" so to speak, but if you're still in the circus, then go for it! :-) This park deserves that reputation it has as the No.1 park in NSW
