Lani's holiday island is FANTASTIC! Drive into the park and continue out the back to the 'island' camping with a view of magnificent Wallis Lake - you can have a fire, relax enjoy the space and serenity, showers and bathrooms are a 2 minute drive away (and the rest of Forster and reality is a further 3 minutes drive). It's... More

Grounds are attractive with trees, palms & rainbow lorikeets. Our "lodge" was old & needing maintenance. Signs ask you to save water but the toilet & shower are full flow. It's a nice spot for kids if you choose a better cabin.

Went with a whole group of friends for a camping trip on the island. Great place. Staff were extremely friendly on check-in. Awesome camping ground & also able to use the caravan parks facilities was a huge bonus. Camping facilities were basic but what else do you expect when camping. The only improvement that would be great would be BBQ's... More

We were looking for a quick holiday getaway, for one weekend only, before the school holidays were over. The kids' (teenagers actually) requirements were a pool and a bush setting for camping. Lani's met the bill perfectly. They have 3 pools, although the pools were a little on the small side, catering for younger children - I guess most people... More

We stayed in a pet friendly cabin where our dog was allowed inside which took the stress out of making sure she was ok. The cabin was clean and well equipped.

The cabin we stayed in was very old with chords running everywhere behind the TV. Fortunately the bed was very good so for one night it was OK. The tariff was very reasonable so I should have realised it wasn't the top accommodation. If there is a next time we would upgrade.

These guys are friendly and cater to the wholesome family with kids and dogs. However it also attracted its fair share of unpleasant characters. Our site was sandwiched between three sites that were on the wrong side of the law. Continuous drinking after 10PM descended into chaos. More fights the next morning. After the big NRL finals, more pandemonium. Cops... More
