2br cabin suited our stay, a little older than the one at another local park we stayed at. Kitchenette had 2 hotplates and a microwave but no oven - we used the one oven that was located in the Camp Kitchen. We loved the onsite mini-golf and the Shaws Bay location can't be beat.
We would stay here again.

Very lovely place to stay right by the water and not far from beach area and the famous lighthouse. Staff were very accommodating and kind we arrived and our cabin was not ready they upgraded our cabin to a delux so we did not have to wait. Well kept park and very close to township also.
Perfect stay

Great facilities & location.
Room with bunk beds had no air con or fan, musty smell.
Items missing from the kitchen, so not able to fully utilise it for cooking.
Clean surfaces but could do with a deep clean.
