Hi folks,
Am looking at going to Croajingalong over summer for a weeks holiday from
Sydney. Our plan is to travel down the coast, then
home via Eucumbene,
Cooma and
Canberra.
The issue is the best caravan park in the area to stay at (the wife doesn't like long stints of camping without running showers and
toilets). Can anyone suggest a good park near
Mallacoota or Bemm River areas. Would prefer something on the water (near a swimming spot), and am also keen to head up to the
Snowy river for a day trip.
Cheers
Andrew OSo much to see, too little time ...
Andrew

Mallacoota is my
heaven on earth. I've been going there since I was 5yrs old and can't get enought of it ,I'm back there in two weeks for 2 weeks holidays.
The local council run Foreshore Park can't be beaten! It's right on the banks of the bottom
lake and runs all the way to the surf beach. has plenty of powered sites and unpowered one,
toilets,hot showers and the laundrete,
bakery,newsagent,tackleshop and the best cafe in town with great coffee are all just across the road. You will love it.
Theres a great 4WD track along the coast to Cann Riverr 120klms too!

andrew -- I know it's not the caravan park, but I thought I'd let you know about the
lighthouse keepers cabins at
Point Hicks in the Croajingalong National Park.
I stayed there for a couple of days - It's **not** cheap but it was a real treat - whales, seals, the wonderful
lighthouse in the backyard - fantastic walks and isolated beaches - the
lighthouse keeper was a terrific
mine of information.

Hi Andrew,
I have to disagree about
Mallacoota if you are looking for a million people all crammed into very tight spots then its the place to be. If you are looking for somewhere nice and it is outside school holidays then a little further down the coast is Cape Conran Coastal Park. You turn off the highway at Orbosty and head down to where the
Snowy River hits the ocean turn left towards Cape Conran not sure of the distance but it is up on the left. A bit further along is the
camping area run but the parks service, it is a bit more primitive has
toilets and bush showers, which are quite good you have to heat up the water though. It is a great spot over the dunes from
the beach and absolute
heaven been there 7 times
well worth a look and the fact you have to heat your own shwoer water up is made up for by
the spot. Warning though is not to go near it in school holidays as it is quite busy.
