Lake Macquarie is home to the largest coastal saltwater lake in the Southern Hemisphere and just 90 minutes north of Sydney. If you’re looking for a waterside caravan getaway then do not miss this hot spot!

There are a variety of great holiday parks to choose from, we highly recommend:
Belmont Lakeside Holiday Park
Almost completely encircled by the lake this park with amazing views will have you feeling relaxed as soon as you arrive. An abundance of water activities are at your doorstep and with its central location to shopping, golf etc, Belmont Lakeside Holiday Park is ready for your next getaway.
The family will love the food trucks which often set up on the foreshore nearby and the gentle decline to the shores of the lake is perfect for families with little ones.
Blacksmiths Beachside Holiday Park
If you love the beach then this is the place for you. Take a short walk to beautiful Blacksmiths Beach or the calm waters of Grannies Pool for a perfect family day. Or you can just stay in the park and make use of the large swimming pool and awesome kids playground.
Drive-through sites and ensuite sites are available to make you stay even easier. If you’re an earlier riser, grab a coffee and head over to the beach for sunrise! Definitely worth trying this one!!
Swansea Lakeside Holiday Park
Another great Lake Macquarie park in a perfect spot for water lovers. Take the kids out for a paddle on the lake, drop the boat into Swansea Channel and head to the sand islands or cycle along the shared pathway to the fantastic cafes. Cruising Caravan Hire even has kayaks you can add to your caravan hire, making your stay even easier and they’re a hit with the kids.
Great facilities all around will make a holiday to remember.
Wangi Point Holiday Park
One for the nature lovers, on the shores of Lake Macquarie. A natural bush setting makes for a very peaceful place to take in the surroundings.
Bush walks through the nature reserve, swimming and fishing from the untouched foreshore. Spacious campsites and friendly wildlife. This is a real hidden gem and if you’re after somewhere away from the main hot spots with tranquil shores and peace and quiet this is the one for you.
Makes for an ideal destination for a weekend or longer if you have time.
