Weekend Trip to Best Park by the sea.

This place is pure magic. Great value. Plenty of space. Right on the water for no powered sites, there are a few trees so you can choose to either be under them or not, we chose not to for full solar. The ground is solid, grassy & even. So much wild life, super relaxing & quiet

Good access with our camper van with great directions given by Todd because, as he said, GPS would take you to the main house. Perfect spot with campfire spot and lovely running creek with small swimming hole deep enough to get a good dunk. Very private with just the company of grazing cattle. Our dogs absolutely loved their time here, as we did.

Had an absolute wonderful stay down by the lake at Tremayne. Fantastic hosts Neil & Joss, guide you to your campsite and swttle you in for your stay. Heading down to the lakeside is some steep downhillbsections and if your towing a van need to take some time to manuvre vehicle etc, but well worth the the stay if you have the skill. Thanks again guys, we'll be back maybe after our lap in 18mths. Cheers Darren & Julie

2 nights at Best Park by the sea.

It's cheap so I was happy.. The roosters weren't great cockle doodle doin throughout the night but it's a farm so... I did msg the host and they never replied which is fine... It's cheap so just grateful for a place to stay.. The ground was hard even though it had been raining.. There are alot of potholes on the driveway in but nothing to crazy and none on the field itself.

Easily the most accommodating and kindest hosts around. The property is gorgeous and you can tell they have a lot of love for the place. Will definitely be back, the dam and the special turf for the camping spots really made all the difference.

The staff were really great! The first night we were there, there was a group who were loud throughout the night and in the morning Doug was really proactive about getting everyone's feelings about them and moved them further away from everyone. Apart from that, even though it was a long weekend, it didn't feel like we were all camping on top of each other's spaces! We had lots of fun!

It’s not a big area but found the way sites were set was good area for a family. There’s roosters that may be confused on timing but wasn’t too bad. The kids loved seeing the cows in the morning. Owners were very polite. The beaches aren’t too far. I really enjoyed my time here

The owner Neil is a great host was very responsive to any queries we had leading up to our stay and very helpful with any concerns and information once we arrived. Our site by the dam was beautiful and it was lovely hearing frogs and birds when things were quiet. It does have some areas of red dirt at this site and our dogs made a bit of a mess around our site and might be something to keep in mind. I don’t think the other sites have this problem however.
