Powlett River Holiday Park

This was our second time back, this time staying 7 days and we loved it just as much. We got there on a Saturday and it was quite busy and a bit noisy, but Sunday when most people packed up, ahhh, the peace & quiet was bliss. Well besides the roaring of the Southern Ocean just up behind the dunes! Those noises are absolutely epic, we really thought there was thunder a couple of times. The birdlife, the hills and exploring through the Teatree forests are really beautiful. The river has closed off from the ocean since our last trip, so the river beaches are much smaller now which was sad and the river seems to be salt instead of the lovely fresh water previously, but still lovely to swim in and walk along. A bonus to this however is now you can get to the dunes without traversing the river which was a nice adventure. We'd like to say a massive thank you to Rob, Carol and to Rob's brother John & his wife who were there for the first few days as Rob & Carol were themselves on holidays ...

Nice grassed sites, some with power and water. Reasonable prices even on a long weekend. Clean showers and toilets and dump points are available. A short trek through the bush to access the river mouth and ocean beach

Great camping area, not too crowded with clean toilet block. Dog friendly also. At the end of the camp ground explore through the tea trees to find hidden trinkets and little statues/figurines. Very amusing.
