NSW, Evans Head, Reflections Holiday Park

Date of Stay: August 2024 Rating: 4
update on our report a few days ago. nothing has changed, and rating remains the same, however if you have a choice, try not to get a spot under the trees on the eastern side of the park. there are lots of birds in the trees, and their droppings on the van and car are a real pain. the acidic nature of bird droppings are not good for the car duco or the fibreglass on the van.

NSW, Ballina, Discovery Parks - Ballina

Date of Stay: July 2024 Rating: 4
same as our previous reports. its still in excellent condition, and in a great spot. only slight criticism is that different people paid different prices for same 7 days, on powered slabs. some got a special deal, stay 7, pay 5. when we queried our bill, we were told the deal was not applicable to this time, which is rubbish as others got the deal for exactly the same. nevertheless, we will be back
