While we’d all love to just drop everything and go on a holiday right now, not all of us can afford to do so. Just because you’re a bit light on the pocket doesn’t mean you shouldn’t be able to enjoy yourself! We’ve found a few budget-friendly holiday parks for you to call home during your Northern Rivers holiday.
Ballina Lakeside Holiday Park
If you’re looking to explore everything the Northern Rivers has to offer, you may want to consider making Ballina Lakeside Holiday Park your base during your trip. Its rather central Northern Rivers location means it’s not far from northern or southern beachside towns, and is only a short 30-minute drive to Lismore.
Situated adjacent to Shaws Bay and a stone’s throw from the beach, at Ballina Lakeside Holiday Park you can do as little or as much as you’d like. Relax by the lake and soak up the serenity, or explore the nearby lighthouse for some of the best views in the area. There’s a variety of cabins available and plenty of places to park your caravan. With a pool, water park, TV room, mini-golf and jumping pillow, you really can’t look past Ballina Lakeside Holiday Park for your next family holiday.
