When you stay at idyllic Jimmy's Beach, you could be forgiven for thinking you’ve landed in the Caribbean. The sands are pure white and the waters are clear and calm, but the call of the kookaburra confirms that you are in fact in an Australian paradise.
This peaceful dog-friendly camp enjoys a natural bushland setting just a short stroll from Hawks Nest. A scenic flatwater ferry ride – which is often accompanied by dolphins – takes you to the shops and restaurants of Nelson Bay. Check out our unique tiny homes for a weekend getaway opposite pristine bushland.
Enjoy fishing and paddleboarding in the calm waters, or check out the breaks at Winda Woppa if you prefer your ocean to be a little livelier.
It was a great spot, park and had great amenitied! Only negative was that wifi literally does not function well and is unsuitable if you have any work from home or even use for surfing we did a speed test multiple times and it wouldnt ever go over 10 mbps…which is abhorrent. Otherwise park is amazing! Walk to either the ocean beach or the bay beach within minutes. Pool was lovely and playgrounds nearby and in park was awesome.

We stayed in a Tiny House cabin. I had read previous reviews regarding storage in the bedroom, so we packed light, only bringing essentials. The hanging space is the size of a broom cupboard and was the storage space for the broom and ironing board.
Considering there was two of us, there wasn't too much room to store what we brought..
The kitchen, in the cabin was good, there is an upside down refrigerator bigger than a mini fridge. The refrigerator section is below the freezer.
The positioning of the toilet in the bathroom wasn't good. I have recently had a hip replacement and there wasn't much room to move off the toilet between basin.
Initially when I booked the cabin I asked for a clothes airer. During check in the receptionist advised it would be in the cabin. It wasn't, I was advised it would be included in the next day's housekeeping, it wasn't. I contacted reception to ask for the clothes airer, I was given one.
Access to Bennett's beach and Jimmy's beach were good. Ten minute walk for both.

Great place awesome amenities.
Safari tent was awesome, it even had aircon.
Kid friendly, maybe too kid friendly with kids riding around the pool and cabin area, it could have ended in tears( should have a designated area for safety for all) on another note, workmen arrived at 730am to start work on some of the cabins including ours with no prior warning from reception at check-in the afternoon before.
So bit of a sore point.
Loved the boom gate technology to enter and exit the park.
Park was situated right near town and walking distance to the beach

The campground is in a fantastic location, and the campsites themselves were clean, well maintained, and nicely spaced out. However, the amenities were not as clean as expected. I do understand that it was during school holidays and the park was very busy. Unfortunately, the toilets and showers were closed for cleaning at 8am, which is a peak time for campers. This resulted in people brushing their teeth in the camp kitchen and at campsite taps. I would suggest reviewing the cleaning times to better accommodate busy periods
