A place for shared moments
One of the joys of travelling as a group is the chance to share activities, and the Macleay Valley Coast delivers these in abundance. At Horseshoe Bay Holiday Park you can spend long days swimming and enjoying sheltered waters close to town. Grassy Head Holiday Park is ideal for beach walks and strolls along quiet coastal stretches, while Stuarts Point Holiday Park offers riverside afternoons, fishing and paddling among calm waterways. Hat Head Holiday Park places you beside National Park trails and scenic lookouts, and Crescent Head Holiday Park sits near the famous point break, where sunrise swims and board rides set the tone for the day. Across all parks you’ll find camp kitchens, picnic areas and inviting green spaces perfect for barbecues, morning coffees and relaxed evenings outdoors.
A perfect base for your trip away
Whether your group prefers peaceful riverside corners, lively beachfront locations or nature filled surroundings, there is a park to match your style. Some parks sit beside waterways, like Stuarts Point Holiday Park, where you can launch kayaks or try your luck with a fishing rod. Or maybe Horseshoe Bay Holiday Park or Crescent Head Holiday Park, may suit your group, which open straight onto the sand for afternoon beach games and coastal strolls. Those who enjoy a slower pace can choose parks framed by bushland with easy access to walking tracks and lookouts.
Group accommodation to suit everyone’s style
Our holiday parks have a wide range of stays designed for shared experiences. Settle into cabins or villas with comfortable living spaces, or enjoy powered and unpowered sites for caravans and tents. There are plenty of group friendly options that make it easy to stay together, even when your holiday style is different. Whether everyone prefers their own space or you like the idea of reserving sites side by side, it is simple to tailor your trip to suit.
