Heading up to Forster - Tuncurry soon. Just an R&R break for a week - any recommendations on van parks with plenty of grass for the camper trailer and hopefully a good pool for the kids?

Cheers

Just a bit further up the highway is Harrington .

We stopped there for three nights and really liked it.

Stinz,

We stayed at Hapy Hallidays at Hallidays Point in May and enjoyed it.

Otherwise, I would also recommend Harrington. We have visited several times a year for as long as I can remember. The Big4 Caravan Park on the edge of the lagoon has plenty of space. You also have access to Crowdy Head, and via road or beach (permit available from bait shop) to Crowdy Bay National Park and Diamond Head (where we also camped in April).

Stinz,

You can try Forster caravan park right on the water front (breezy though) dont know if they have a pool though. Tuncurry Caravan Park by the Rockpool is a nice spot though too (but NO pool though).

We spend every xmas holiday at LANI'S Caravan Park at Forster out next to Smugglers Cove and the Forster Shopping Village end of town. They have TWO pools and you could get a grassy spot by the lagoon if you ask when you book....you can also camp out on the Island itself (only toilets out there though and you have to drive or ride back into the main park for showers and pool) but it is very spacious out there and you could have a camp fire etc of a night. They have a 30 metre rule whereby you ARE NOT allowed to camp within 30m of another campsite which gives you oddles of space and privacy. There is also a boat ramp out on the island and fish cleaning tables etc...it is fun for the kids riding bikes out there as well as there are loads of dirt road tracks to safely ride along on the island.

Have a good trip

Have a look at Treachery Camp near Seal Rocks.
Fantastic Camp Ground for caravans, campers and tents. Very clean, good amentities and the the swimming pool in Australia, The Pacific Ocean.

I've stayed at Smugglers cove...nice park, good pool....got smashed by the mozzies at night :-)

I always now stay at the Forster Park right at the Bridge. No pool, but a very short walk to the beach (which has a pool) on one side and the other side short walk to safe fishing. Don't have to drive anywhere as it is right in town.

Clean amenities (Managers a bit rude sometimes)....fair price.
