Welcome to Tiona Holiday Park set in the beautiful Pacific Palms of New South Wales. Nestled between the white sands of Seven Mile Beach, the cabbage tree palm-studded shores of Wallis Lake and the spectacular Booti Booti National Park.
Find your space at the pet-friendly Tiona Holiday Park, whether you are camping, caravanning or need a cabin for the night, and only 15 minutes from Forster. With over 78 sites, 30 cabins, 2 houses and 14 lodge rooms. the park is family-friendly, pet friendly, and the perfect space from which to relax, explore, connect or play – plus you can have a campfire (seasonal)!
Tiona is 15 minutes from Forster, 25 minutes from Seal Rocks and only 3.5hours north of Sydney. A public bus service travels directly from Newcastle and stops outside Tiona daily.
Tiona has the best of both worlds, stay either beachside or lakeside, the choice is yours. Or just pick one and walk 5min to enjoy the other. Fish either way. We’ve stayed here with a large group of friends around 4 times over the years and all on the beachside. Sites vary in size but caters for most setups. Plenty of gravel which isn’t ideal under foot but allows for improved drainage in wet weather. Therefore, ensure you have a good footprint & strong pegs and you’ll have no problems. The camp kitchen & amenities are good. Some showers have lower water pressure & heat than others but shift to another bathroom and all good. If you need groceries or some comforts, Forster is a mere 10min away. Seal Rocks (Lighthouse Beach) is 20min away and is one of my favourite beaches with 4x4 access 👌🏼 We’ve had minimal dealings with management but all has been smooth sailing this far. One negative is the very close proximity to the main road. Fortunately it’s a 60kph zone but you’ll occasionally find someone hooning by and occasionally some find it exciting to blow their horns as they pass in the early hours of the morning. Good Coffee in the beachside camp cafe if desired. Paddleboarding is also available in the lake.
All in all, a great place.
PS. Look out for strong rips at any unpatrolled beach in the area.

Great park with site on either side of the road, with welcoming fun staff. We stayed at North beachside against the fence so quite a bit of traffic noise till late on Saturday night, not a problem Sunday night. Noisy Monday morning from 5am. Lakeside sites are down off the road so likely much quieter but would expect they book out quickest. Facilities at Beachside north are individual bathrooms ( toilet shower and vanity, with heater and good water pressure. Beautiful spot with great access to beach and lake. Beautiful lake side walk through cabbage palms to Green Cathedral. Enjoyed the 7 loop walk from NP- Ruins campground over headland and along lake edge

We stayed with Tiona for four nights recently for a wedding. From start to finish it was fantastic. The beautiful cabins, a stone throw from the beach to the lake and a pool in between. Service was exceptional and we really enjoyed our stay. A beautiful cafe across the road with gorgeous food juices and coffee. We couldn’t rate it highly enough and hope to be back again in the near future.

This is a beautiful place to stay. Pet Friendly amazing staff immaculate grounds and really good coffee. Ignore any negative reviews as I am not sure what there is to complain about. So close to the beach and the lake.
The staff are so lovely I would highly recommend staying here without a worry in the world. The cabin we stayed in was lovely with a big veranda on the Lake side.
