“Great location, but visit spoiled by the poor management”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 May 2010
6
people found this review helpful

This park offers caravan, camping and cabin accommodation in a great location, right opposite the beach and just down the road from theme parks and the night life of the Surfers Paradise area. The park is well maintained and facilities are kept clean. We have camped here several times over the past few years and enjoyed our time there.
However, our most recent visit was spoiled by very unhelpful staff, who allocated us a site too small for our group - despite advance requests for large family sites. We were cramped onto the small site, with insufficient room for our car. Management were very unhelpful in solving the problem they had created - eventually fixed by a friendly group of neighboring campers. In addition, the security patrols seem to be totally ineffective in controlling noise from rowdy groups late at night. We cut our stay short and will not return unless management changes.

The villa was clean and pretty good. However, the staff of the place are very rude. Asking for help with dificult neighbours at the site, and no response. Not helpfull.

“Great Camp Site”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2008
1
person found this review helpful

This Camp Site is Great. We spent a total of 6 nights here during March 2008. The facilities on sight are absolutely superb. The pitch size for tents/campers/caravans are great! The wash rooms are always clean, and are modern, the various toilet blocks dotted around the sit are great too, as is the pool and sun-bathing area, and the laundry and internet facilities. Right opposite Main Beach, and great location for the Gold Coast Theme Parks, around 15 minutes drive.

  • Liked — Pitch Size and location
  • Disliked — expensive prices of the food in the on site shop. But there are plenty of shops near by

“Top Spot for a low price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 February 2007

people found this review helpful

Excellent location, new refurb, great facilities for a bargin price.

My family & I stayed in a Cabin at this park but it also has powered sites & camping facilities. Its quite a small site by caravan park standars but the location is unbeatable. It is directly across the road from Main Beach which is also home to the Surf Club & a kids playground. Just down the road is Seaworld & the in the other direction is Surfers Paradise. All the major theme parks & attractions are only a short drive away. A short walk will find you in the midst of trendy cafes, resturants, bars.

I was very impressed with our cabin (No 1) which overlooked the inground pool (complete with sun shade cover) & gardens. It looked to be new & everything was immaculate. We had a double (comfy) bed & separate room with single bunks. An open plan lounge, (full) kitchen dining & a bathroom complete with bath. The cabins also have a verandah with an outdoor table & BBQ. Right near our cabin was a kids playground & a communal BBQ area. Perfect for my small offspring.

The Surf Club across the road is good too. We had dinner there one night & the food was quite good, bistro style. There is also a bar & pokies.

The beach is beautiful but we did see Bluebottle jellyfish, so bring your wetsuit for a surf or at least some Stingoes spray. We could hear the roar of the ocean from our cabin, Bliss!
