Family Camping
We appreciate that families want to rock out, but may still need a decent night’s sleep. Our Family Camping area is still heaps of fun, but a little less hectic.
– NEW FOR 2022 – Family parking is located right nect to the car park, so you don’t need to lug your kids stuff for ages from the car. There are separate toilets to the rest of the campsites and showers just for families.
The Family Campsite will also be equipped with baby baths, free nappies and changing facilities so it’s perfect for those parents with really little ones.
