The resort is a pleasant escape with both powered and unpowered sites, a full camp kitchen, and amenities that cater to campers. The location is conveniently close to the beach, but it's a bit isolated and could feel under-staffed during peak times. Overall, the value is fair, but cleanliness was an issue that needs addressing for a better experience.

The tent site had some cleanliness issues with rubbish left around, which was disappointing. It felt cramped and not as well-maintained as I'd hoped.

The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, although they were clearly stretched at busy times, which affected service speed.

The resort is nice and quiet, but felt a bit too isolated for my liking, being far from the town and only accessible via ferry or a long drive.

The camp kitchen was a handy feature, equipped with all that you need for cooking, but the amenities could definitely use better attention to cleanliness.

I had a wonderful stay at this resort! The cleanliness and comfort of the accommodations were impressive, while the friendly staff made my experience even better. Although it was a bit noisy due to the street traffic, it didn't overshadow the overall value of my visit. The location is unique, as it's not in Ballina, but the ferry ride to town was actually quite fun. Just keep in mind, if you're bringing pets, there's an additional charge and the nearby beach is not pet-friendly.

I had a fantastic camping experience at this resort! The swag tent was new and equipped with everything I needed, including a super comfy queen-size bed. The nearby amenities were spotless, but it would have been nice to have a squeegee for the shower. Overall, a wonderful place to stay at a great value for money!

We enjoyed our stay at the resort, which had a beautiful location next to fantastic beaches and a good campsite. The amenities were generally clean and well-kept, but the pool and bathrooms were unfortunately lacking in cleanliness, which definitely affected our experience. While the camp kitchen and dining options were solid, the fees for bringing pets were a bit surprising, and the distance to nearby supplies was a bit inconvenient.

This campsite is fantastic, offering generous plots that really allow you to spread out unlike some other spots I've seen. It's super pet-friendly and I loved the fun activities like happy hour and raffles. The access to the beach for driving is easy and convenient. However, be aware that the nearest dog beach is a bit of a drive away, about 15 minutes.
