Durras Lake North Holiday Park
Be different! Recent visitors from Germany declared a stay at our park as a highlight of their 3 month Australian journey.
They liked:
Being able to camp in a bushland setting;
Having a wood fired barbecue (toasted marshmallows!);
Knowing there is a full refund if they see no kangaroos;
Being just 5 minutes from Pebbly Beach but with no tourists;
Inexpensive but clean and comfortable cabins;
Bushwalking in a rainforest and alongside Durras Lake;
Beachwalking along the coast and seeing Dolphins;
Not being crammed in by convoys of caravans and motorhomes;
Being able to hire kayaks to explore the lake or surfboards;
Not having kids clubs, bingo nights, swimming pools etc;
Hot showers!
They didn´t like not getting a full refund because they saw lots of kangaroos in the park!
Please do not come if you are a traditional tourist and just want fancy facilities. This place is only for adventurous travelers wanting to experience what many locals describe as the best kept secret of the south coast.
Be different. Get off the highway. Experience the Australian bush and wildlife the way you expected your Australian holiday to be.
Or just go to one of the branded holiday parks who pride themselves on being the same as each other. Enjoy the bingo nights! The folks back home will love to hear about that...
