Nambucca Head Travel Articles

The BIG4 Nambucca Beach Holiday Park can be found at the end of Swimming Creek Road in a very quiet part of town.  It is nestled among tropical gardens with shade trees and is, as the name suggests, next to the beach - Swimming Creek Beach.  

This park has a range of cabins including the Elevated Surf Shack (our accommodation for the night) with a large parking area underneath - enough to bring the boat with you. This Shack overlooks the swimming pool and water slides. There are several other types of family cabins closer to the beach with parkland in front for the kids to run around. Near the entrance are some cute little dongas, that have been painted in lovely bright colours.

There is a boom gate to enter and exit the park which is operated by a scanning device. The managers have placed a return box for the scanners just outside the exit so you don't have to get out of the car when leaving. A new recreation room is being built beside reception and should be open shortly.

The park has all the facilities including an enclosed camp kitchen (small but adequate), large covered barbeque area with kitchen facilities, children's playground, clean amenities, jumping pillow, drive-through sites and some ensuite caravan or camping sites.

We found the staff to be friendly and welcoming and are working hard to ensure visitors enjoy their stay.

You will drive past the Foreshore Caravan Park on your way into Nambucca Heads form the Pacific Highway (southern entrance).  We really like the relaxed feel of this small park on the banks of the Nambucca River.

There were a number of families who had set up camp under the trees next to the water and were relaxing in the shade enjoying a spot of fishing. The Foreshore Caravan Park is within walking distance to the RSL Club, golf club, cafes and Woolworths supermarket. There is a convenience store directly opposite the park.

It is an older park but well maintained with a range of cabins and its own boat ramp - you can even moor your boat alongside your cabin. We received a warm welcome by a member of the family that have owned this park for many years and she was more than happy for us to look around.

A walking track runs beside the park that runs form the Visitor Information Centre to the V-Wall break wall. 

This neat and tidy holiday park can be found near the V-Wall at the end of Wellington Drive in Nambucca Heads. The V-Wall is a famous tourist attrraction where visitors can paint their holiday message on the rocks along the water.

The Ingenia Holidays White Albatross has a number of permanent residents – mostly at the rear of the park. There are a range of holiday Cabins and caravan sites situated around the lagoon. This is a tidal swimming lagoon with sand or grassy access to the water.

There is a great covered barbeque area alongside the jumping pillow with numerous timber benches and seating.  On the other site of the jumping pillow is a beautiful enclosed camp kitchen with two more barbeques and a range of seating. Attached to this is a library with a selection of books - wonderful facilities.

I particularly liked the lovely gardens at a round about in the centre of the park (not far from reception) with very nice fountains. There are several amenities blocks, children's playground and great pool with Water play park. 

This holiday park is well maintained and close to the V-Wall Tavern and V-Wall cafe. It is Pet friendly and has a range of ensuite or powered caravan and camping sites.

When we asked about pricing over Christmas we were told that they have 'dynamic pricing' just like the airlines.  The price goes up when demand increases for available sites. We had never heard of this in a caravan park.

The star rating is for the park itself - not their pricing structure.
