Grafton / Bellingen Showgrounds

Greetings

The Gateway Village Caravan Park in Grafton is the best park we have ever stayed at - exceptionally tidy, good staff - and only $22 a night - highly recommended.

Stayed at both places.

Grafton Gateway is awesome at $22 a night.

Bellingen Showgrounds are also very good. Can get very wet underfoot with rain.

Cangai Bridge west of Grafton has possibilities.
Burdett park near Belligen is also a free site

Try Wikicamps

Don't bother with the showgrounds at Grafton, run down with dirty ablutions and $23 p/n for a solo traveller.
I sent the showground trust an eMail seven weeks ago without acknowledgement. I've been told the race track at Grafton is good alternative.
Kendall showground is a beaut stopover, clean and inexpensive.

Thora reserve...free...just before you head up the mt to Dorrigo.

Lilydale bridge...free...14 K's out of Grafton...nice spot

Thank you to those of you who replied to my post.

We are happily ensconced at the Gateway Village for two nights and as a very infrequent user of caravan parks (I prefer to free camp), I must say that this is one of the cleanest, quietest, cheapest and best quality caravan parks that I have seen.The $22 per night charged for powered sites is currently their standard year round rate but they are undergoing a change of ownership so who knows what might happen to this price in the future.

I checked out the greyhound club caravan park (a greyhound meeting is on tonight with lots of dogs and trailers around) and the showground (very old run down facilities with two very small shower cubicles and toilet paper all over the floor in the toilets) was quite decrepit. Neither of these two places come close to matching this park.
