Traditional Camping at Elizabeth Beach
Discover the natural beauty of the Barrington Coast at Pacific Palms Caravan Park. Nestled in the quiet seaside village of Elizabeth Beach, this family-owned park offers a traditional camping experience surrounded by the stunning Booti Booti National Park. Unlike the busy tourist hubs, Pacific Palms provides a peaceful retreat where the bush meets the sea, making it the perfect destination for nature lovers, surfers, and families seeking a relaxed coastal getaway.
The park is situated just a short stroll from Elizabeth Beach, one of the few north-facing beaches on the east coast. This unique orientation offers protection from the prevailing winds and swell, creating calm conditions ideal for swimming and family days on the sand. Accommodation options at the park cater to all budgets and styles. Guests can choose from shaded powered and unpowered sites, perfect for tents, caravans, and camper trailers. For those seeking modern comforts, the park features a range of self-contained cabins, from budget-friendly standard options to ultra-modern cabins with full kitchens and spacious decks.
Facilities at Pacific Palms Caravan Park are designed to make your stay comfortable and convenient. The grounds feature a fully equipped camp kitchen, clean amenities blocks, and a guest laundry. Active families will love the on-site tennis court and playground, while the open grassy areas provide plenty of space for cricket or relaxing in the sun. The park is also pet-friendly on selected sites and cabins (subject to management approval), so you can bring your four-legged friend along to explore the dog-friendly beaches nearby.
Located in the heart of the Pacific Palms region, the park is an excellent base for exploration. You are minutes away from the famous surfing breaks of Blueys Beach and Boomerang Beach, as well as the crystal-clear waters of Wallis Lake. A short drive brings you to the Pacific Palms Recreation Club, affectionately known as “The Recky,” where you can enjoy a meal and a drink while watching the spectacular sunset over the lake. Whether you are hiking the Booti Hill walking track, fishing off the beach, or simply unwinding under the gum trees, Pacific Palms Caravan Park offers an authentic and memorable holiday experience.
