Well, its school hols in NSW so we decided to somewhere north of Sydney to try and keep the summer buz alivegiven that one of my boys loves the pool. Harrington was the winnernthis time around.
Harrington is about 4.5 hrs north of Sydney, just past Taree and a reasonably easy drive once you get off Pennant Hills Road.
The park has a good mix of sites varying from cabins, to ensuite sites (our choice for our panda "Bear"), powered and unpowered in the mix.
There are 2 separate amenities blocks and a big camp kitchen. There a 2 pools (one for the littlies) next to each other as well as 2 jumping pillows and a 9 hole putt putt course.
Harrington is a small seaside town with normal array of takeaway shops and a good IGA at the other end of town. For those that want to eat out, there is the local pub, bowling club and Harrigans irish pub as well. We ate at Harrigans and I had one of the best seafood platters for 1 ($31 included oysters, prawns, crab, prawn cutlet, calimari, fish together with abtub of chips and salad).
On the downside, i got hammered by mozzies and sandflies as im prone to be if they're around. Guess the mozzie prevention stuff at the check in should have clued me in. The internal roads are a bit hit and miss which surprised me for a Big 4 park, but maybe im just getting old and precious
