Located on the edge of Lake Myall this is a looooong caravan park. Our site was 900m from reception, and 450m from the laundry......

The park is basically one long road with camping and cabins either side of it. There are alternating sections of each. We were in the 'old' section right at the far end, but seemed to be the best area. Heavily treed, sand underfoot, and only 20m from the lake. There was a small section where tree roots etc had been removed to make a small kayak landing area. The depth of the lake didn't go past chest height within 400m of shore, so great for kids. (Others said they walked out 750m and still was only to shoulders) Being so shallow also meant it was quite warm after a few hot days.
Amenities (in our area) are four centrally located small buildings each with two individual bathrooms of shower (with glass door) basin and toilet, plus a cold water outdoor shower, all with decking around. (In other areas it was a single large building). Of the eight, two were marked Male, 4 Female and 2 Unisex. I had no issues with them, but the missus found they got messy quickly. Cleaning was twice a day.
Good birdlife, family of goannas, koalas and wallabies (but we didn't see any in the camping areas while there)
3g phone connection was very low, which made getting the bushfire updates hard.
Access to the park is via a 15km dirt road from Bulahdelah on the Pacific Hwy, or crossing via the ferry if coming from Tea Gardens.
The ferry is a 50m crossing, $5 per car + $5 per van and runs once each way on the half hour only 8am-6pm, with access for 6 vehicles only. Generally this isn't an issue, but we did see three cars towing large boats all lined up at the same time which won't all fit on a single run
The reception area has a pool, restaurant (you need to book as we found out the hard way, or they won't open), bar and kiosk, games/pool table etc etc, and a conference centre.
Bulahdelah has a hardish to find Bowls Club which did some really good meals. (They closed at 8 officially, but we got there 5 minutes to 8 and they were happy to keep cooking. Others arrived after us also)
On the Mr StrayDingo rating scale: 4 / 5
On the Mrs StrayDingo rating scale: 2 / 5 (based on amenities and distance to laundry)
