We had a lovely time at Ballina. Here is the run-down on the excellent caravan park that we stayed in — the Ballina Headlands Leisure Park:

Sites

• large sites for vans and tents
• fresh driveways and concrete slabs for vans
• TV cables next to van sites
• inside of cabins looked excellent — think the ones that I saw inside must have been recently refurbished.

Service

• people were extremely helpful.

Facilities

• good kiddies playground
• large sandy area for volleyball or whatever
• large swimming pool
• couple of spas next to swimming pool
• library
• TV room
• computer area
• and more.

Ballina area

• three-minute drive to couple of lovely beaches
• close to Ballina, Byron Bay and Lennox Heads
• close to a quiet airport – think that they have only a few planes in each day.

Overall

• spotlessly clean everywhere – grounds, amenities, pool etc
• lots of shady trees and birdlife, grassy sites
• very quiet and peaceful — away from busy roads
• inexpensive.

9.5/10 — took half a point off because they had supermarket type music going continually in amenities block.
