Hat Head Holiday Park

The park was booked in April 2024 for December 2024. This was under one name but they wanted names for each site. one couple told the park to take their name off but not cancelled the site but the caravan park did this anyway, but to make things worse it was the middle site of three sites. Go figure they all had the same surname, not rocket science and no contact with the actual person who booked all sites. Then we were told that it was too dangerous to have two cars on site, but ok for caravan and car. Caravans are a far higher fire risk than a car with stoves, lithium batteries these days for solar off grid, gas cylinders etc. far more riskier than a car. We had to park our car outside of the park. Also dates were still stuffed up by them, we changed the booking till the monday, but they still had us booked till the tuesday for some reason. No refund for the change of dates which we didnt organise. Water pressure for toilets was shocking and most of them broke down over the weekend. codes worked only half the time. Our family has parked there many many years and sadly to say this was the most dissapointed we have been. Rule changes were not advised during the 6 month booking period also. The area is wonderful but we wont be returning to the park, Will book the national park camping area.

One of the most beautiful parks to stay in. Close to nature and the ocean. The staff were friendly and helpful. There are plenty of things to do especially if you love the water. It is central to bigger places like Kempsey and South West Rocks and other smaller communities are just a short car ride away. The only issue we had was that the water hose on our van was not long enough to reach the water outlet. Other than that it was fantastic!

This is a great park in a terrific location with a beautiful beach at your doorstep. The park is large and the caravan sites are a good size. There are a couple of amenities blocks situated around the park. Also at the office you can buy essentials if needed. Otherwise there is a general store within walking distance.

We had a powered caravan site. Site was very room and easy to park van. Access to the river and beach is only a short stroll away and both are just gorgeous. There is limited phone reception, enough to make a phone call. We were there to enjoy our surroundings and not scroll our phones.. It’s disappointing hearing the older campers (neighbouring caravans) complain about families camping and noisy children laughing. I think it’s a beautiful noise to see and hear people living life..I’d sooner hear laughter then their whinging. This has definitely become one of our favourite places. Thank you

Hit the jackpot with the weather, honestly, I’m still getting over how good this weekend was. Stayed on an unpowered site (269) right near the creek but any of the unpowered sites near the footbridge look good. We must have got in that crystal clear water at least 20x in the course of 2 days. Kids had a blast riding around the campground, and thank you to the staff member who pulled them up for not wearing a helmet, it really does take a village. We snorkelled along the far side of the creek and saw schools of fish and a flathead so big I actually thought it was a leopard shark at first, absolute monster of a thing. The walk around the headland would be incredible any day of the week but with the perfect weather, the kangaroos grazing, and the mass butterfly event, it was all just too much. Highly recommend taking all the toys… kayaks, bikes, surf/boogie boards, snorkels, fishing rods, footy… you’ll use them all. Stock up on your food and drinks, Cole’s SW rocks/or the mini-mart are a 20-25 minute drive away and reception stocks very little at a much higher price. No bread on Sunday’s but milk/ice/bait etc. are there if needed. Only downside is the sites are a tad too close together for my liking (but they’re still bigger than some I’ve seen, hello Broken Head HP), but it’s expected at a place like this, especially in peak season. Dogs welcome, showers are better than I have at home, no fires allowed from sept-April (don’t quote me on that but I’m close). Take a floor mat, some sites aren’t as grassy as others. All in all, a perfect trip. Grab some mates and book in immediately.
