Port Stephens Caravan Parks

Yeah they Got a games room huge Plasma, Put Put, nice area and play ground equipment for the kids.

We were there in April and had a terrible job getting van in around the tight roads.
Actually whacked back corner of van on a metal skip left sticking out on one corner

Also havent solved the problem of how to get waste water to run uphill to the

sullage which was up against the wooden wall and higher than the outlet on

the van as the sites ran downhill .

Suggested to staff a hacksaw may help They said the park was to busy to do

it About 6 vans there at the time. JEEZ

Halifax is nearer - between Shoal and Nelson Bay. Right on the water too. Nice park - surprised it hasn't been mentioned. It's owned by the same mob that own Shoal, Soldiers and Fingal.

15 mins walk to Shoal Bay or Nelson Bay shops and 5 mins walk to the RSL

I think Halifax is the closest to Nelson bay, That's the one under the light house nearest the boat ramp. But I have never stayed there (looks okay good for 5th wheelers and bigger vans) . Maybe next time I will stay there, we go twice a year.


Cheers

Shoel bay, Soldiers, and Halifax seem to be dead flat.

I never stayed a Halifax but I like it's location, will probably stay there next time. I don't think it has much in the way of things for the kids to do actually in the park itself.

Cheers.

Yeah they know how to charge up there, Soldiers PT was $110.00 a night for the ensuite sites For October. We will only stay there in the off peak because of that huge price hike rip off.

Did Halifax have a playground and its it good for kids to ride bikes around?

Yes Halifax had a good playground, our kids also had a lot of fun riding their scooters around the park.

Fingal Bay is probably about 6km from the centre of Nelson Bay.

Fingal Bay is around a 10 minute drive from Nelson bay, (too far to walk) Halifax around 3 Minutes drive.

What I do sometimes is get on Google Earth and check out the lay of the land,
and how close these places actually are from beaches towns Etc. Sometimes I look at Google Earth and decide not to stay there at all due to congested sites and a mossy swamp next door Etc.

Fingal Has a servo, small store and a Bottlo almost next door if required, the beach is almost a surf beach not great for the kids, but Fingal would have the best pool in my opinion, Very close would be Anna bay that pool is nice as well.

There is a newish sports club / Bowling club close to Fingal as well for meals and such but even that is a drive away ! to far for the kids to walk or carry.
