Our new favourite holiday park! Thank you so much to Kathryn and the team. You went out of your way to help us, first with changing our booking date at the last minute and then being so wonderful and helpful when I had stuffed up our booking details. On top of that, the cabin was stunning and absolutely gorgeous, the the best we have stayed in. The view was breathtaking. What a very special place and wonderful team. Thank you so much!

Amazing place, beautiful staff!

The staff are super friendly and the park and amenities are spotless. Our motorhome backs on to the river so it’s just a few steps to throw in a line - we even caught a fish within half an hour of arrival. Sitting under our awning and looking at the river while being visited by the local ducks is so peaceful. They have a few supplies available in the kiosk such as frozen bread,muffins,crumpets,pies, butter and milk plus biscuits etc. We will certainly be returning.

Peaceful restful love it

Bellinger River Caravan Park, set on the river bank, is heaven for fishermen, kayakers, paddle-boarders and travellers who enjoy a peaceful water view.  There's a mix of large slab and grass sites, and the most popular sites are right on the water's edge. There's fire pits for hire and wood for sale, which make for a cosy evening of relaxation. The bathroom and laundry facilities, camp kitchen are clean and in excellent condition. There's a herb/vege garden for travellers' use. We thoroughly enjoyed our short stay and will be back in the future.

Peaceful and quiet

Absolute waterfront spots for caravans and campers.  Ensuite style amenities which are spotlessly clean and they include hairdryers.  Camp kitchen is well appointed with lots of seating. Lawns are well kept.  Lovely walking the river especially for the sunrise and sunset colours.

Perfect waterfront relaxation 

We recently stayed three nights here. The lawns are well maintained, the grounds are clean and the amenities are well cared for and clean.

I was incredibly disappointed that upon arrival and checking in, I was notified that the pool was closed. We specifically searched for a camp ground that had a pool and had planned our holiday relaxing by the pool. The staff member was not at all empathetic that we were disappointed and simply said "These things happen, there's nothing we can do about it. It only happened last night". By looking at the pool, this had not only occurred a few hours before, it was incredibly dirty and had a film of green sludge. Immediately, I felt lied to and was spoken to in a condescending manner. I disagree that there was nothing they could have done. We could have been informed that the pool was not working when I phoned to speak with someone about the park and amenities, it could have been updated on all social media pages and it could have been updated on the website. The park management did not take any measures to see that potential customers were informed that this aspect of the park facilities was in fact, not functioning. They continued to charge excessive fees, as described by them as 'summer rates' however, do not deliver on what they advertise. I was informed that the pool would be operational within a couple of days and we could enjoy it then, however this was not the case. No offer of compensation or concern was given. They simply showed no concern for ruining our holiday, which does not come often for us.

Although it was a relatively quiet park and the dogs that barked didn't do so for too long, the freight trains, especially during the night were extremely loud and we would wake numerous times during the night....they don't put that on the brochure! The showers, although nice and clean, have a timer and will cut out on you. This is particularly frustrating if you need to shower both yourself and children, you'll spend your time there with remnants of conditioner in your hair and soap on your body.

There was offensive language by a resident there, which is sadly very disappointing considering we had a child and could hear it all; it certainly doesn't give a nice, safe feeling to staying there. The cleaners in the toilet block were not speaking so kindly about some guests, perhaps this conversation should be best kept to the staff room.

Overall, this park could be wonderful, however I feel the staff have completely lost all understanding of why they are there....the guests. The guests are there on their holidays and pay the bills.....let's not have the guests feel like they are a burden. An improvement of communication is paramount. Sadly, whilst staying at the park, I felt like this park has lost sight of care and enjoyment of their guests.

Disappointing

We were required to pay upfront for our booking 3 weeks ahead. We cancelled 6 days out because of extreme weather conditions, warnings to stay off the roads and a flood warning for the Bellinger River. No response to two emails, no refund and no credit for a future visit. There is ample warning about their onerous cancellation policy but here is another one. Avoid, avoid, avoid!

Beware the cancellation policy

We have stayed in this park for years, this is the first stay in a villa. It’s large and has the best views of the river. It sleeps 4 in the 2 bedrooms,but, sadly only 2 chairs on the veranda, 2 more would be nice.  Even on holidays it’s nice to look up and see the time. A clock would be a nice touch, along with placemats.  I was surprised that there were no shelves in the wardrobe.  The lounge is very low and not easy to get out of if you have a few years under your belt.  All the staff are very friendly and the park itself is in excellent condition.  Lovely spot next to the river and worth a visit as there is so much to do in the area.

Lovely villa but could do with some changes.

We were greeted by the friendly and helpful owner and check in was easy. The park is well kept with a good swimming pool, camp kitchen and amenities. I do not agree with a previous post that the park is noisy. Yes, you can hear a train in the distance a couple of times  but it does not disturb your stay at all.  The permanent tenants are not a problem either. We had a very relaxed stay but unfortunately was cut short by the flooding that is occurring on the east coast at the moment.  I would recommend this caravan park to anyone looking for a relaxed holiday central to Bellingen and the coast.

Lovely relaxing park on the river

Unfortunately this caravan park isn't family friendly at all. The park and facilities were ok and the location is good, however, the long term residents really let this park down. The reception staff were helpful but that's where the positives ended.
We were "greeted" by one of these couples very rudely and abruptly when backing our van in. We politely told them that we had it under control but were told in no uncertain terms that they were also the care takers and had to follow their directions.... we later found out that they mowed the lawns and cleaned the bathrooms.
Our kids were also told off for playing on the only small grassed area - how dare kids run around on grass!
No one came to speak with us, we just received a text message which was very disappointing. We've stayed at countless parks across Australia and have never experienced the bullying we have at Bellinger from the permanents.... so much so that we have cut our trip short by a night.
It's very unfortunate that this park is run by a few permanent residents who do not like families and children.

NOT FAMILY FRIENDLY!!! Negative experience due to permanent residents

This well-located riverside caravan park has one pet-friendly cabin, which costs about $110 a night. 
It is clean and well-equipped, even having toiletries, a dog bowl and a small/medium dog bed! But alas - no toilet or shower.,,Particularly at this daily rate, we hadn't expected to have to make our way to the amenities block in the middle of the night in heavy rain! 
While the website doesn't say the cabin does have a bathroom, I think it should explicitly note that (unlike most cabins) it doesn't, just in case others like us, assume it would. 
Otherwise it was a nice place to stay.
