We came and stayed in an Osprey cabin, and were impressed with its cleanliness, layout and inclusions; friends stayed at the slightly smaller cabin two cabins away and at camping sites nearby, and the back verandah was large enough to accommodate everyone for a bbq such that we didn't need to use the park facilities not far away. Spent a few days by the pool while the kids swam and we played board games at the tables; also played mini golf, which only required a deposit that you got back when you returned the putter & golf ball. Went for a couple of walks down at on the beach and found an octopus in a rock pool and lots of shells, and climbed up to the old lighthouse. The wild weather hitting most of NSW seemed to go right around us: we had a little bit of rain, but nothing like the downpour that lashed the rest of the coast. The Woolworths at Culburra let us stock up on everything we needed and had a wander in the op shops as well. Had a great time with great value - the only down side was that the jumping pillow seemed to have a very slow leak, meaning it wasn't as bouncy as these things usually are.

Our family have just enjoyed a 5 day cabin stay At culburra holiday haven. Our cabin was extremely clean and comfortable. We were provided with all the bits and pieces you need to prepare and serve gourmet meals and everything was sparkling new and/or clean! The beds were even more comfortable than our own at home! The pool, water and pillow park, flying fox and playground provided so much entertainment for the kids that they were never bored! It also meant they slept so soundly that us adults got to enjoy time out too! The staff were super kind and any requests were never a problem! Thanks - we will be back again for sure. Culburra beach and surrounds are beautiful and easy to access - especially if you have little kids. Xxo

As far as convenience goes, this park ticks the boxes. Plenty to occupy the kids, beaches and bush walks nearby - that side of things were great! But for $80+ a night just to stay on a powered site, we were expecting the facilities to be much better than they were. The showers, while great with hot water and water flow, were extremely grubby. They’re not cleaned often enough, especially in peak period. Same as the toilets. Also, no lights are on in the toilets til late. There was people (including myself) in there at around 8pm and we could barely see each other it was so dark. It would be fine on a bright sunny day but on a stormy, and overcast day, it’s ridiculous. Cutting costs with electricity???? The BBQ’s were also filthy and you could tell they’re not frequently cleaned properly. We had to scrub the living daylights out of them before we could use. I feel like the security camera in every nook and cranny of the place is overkill. So many rules listed in the office but who is enforcing these rules? The kids on the jumping pillow are out of control. You’ve got a list of rules on the gate about no backflips etc yet you have teenagers on there all day and night running amok and the littlies are trying to play and getting injured by the teenagers’ reckless behaviour on the equipment. The only staff we seen the entire trip was the lady in the office - who was lovely. And one or two men driving around in a Ute and emptying bins etc. You can understand a park needing rules - however it’s one thing to make a list of rules, and another to actually manage a park and make sure people aren’t ruining a holiday for the other paying patrons... and it’s not like you cannot see this behaviour taking place, you’ve got cameras everywhere!

So much to do at this park it is definitely a Holiday Haven! Our boys, 1yo and 3yo absolutely had an amazing time trying out all the facilities- 2 big playgrounds, a water park, a pool with a toddler pool, mini golf, flying fox and jumping pillow! At $50 per night for a powered site, it was fantastic value when all these fun activities were included! It was like a mini theme park, just perfect for them. The access to the beach was quick and easy. Husband caught a little flatty at the beach. Park amenities were always so clean. Check in was quick and efficient, Kim at reception was very helpful with any queries. We were also offered late checkout til 2pm for a small fee so we could chill and not have to rush to unpack and leave. Just 2 downsides...so many mozzies at our site so make sure you are prepared and bring the strong stuff. If not, the office sells insect repellant and some other essentials. The other downside was that we had to leave.

Always our number one choice when holidaying in Jervis Bay. A quiet, friendly holiday park with a positive vibe and friendly people. Camping sites for tents, caravans or cabins. A pool, inflatable bouncing platform, great children’s playground, flying fox, half court basketball, community centre, small shop, washers/dryers, etc. Right on the beach, with a number of entry/exit points to access the beach. The park organises activities for the kids, like water slides, Tie-dye workshops, etc. Coffee and food trailers visit regularly during Summer season (not sure about other seasons). Nearby Culburra has a lot of shops, a Woolworths, and a petrol station.

Possibly the worst caravan park we have ever stayed at. Noisy, inconsiderate patrons, camped next to a construction site, unclean amenities, no sign of any park staff to enforce any morning or night time curfews, or to clean anything. The only redeeming factor is that it has great facilities for the kids, of which we didn't bring any. Not even a true beach front site, although you could hear the waves from most places around the park. Very expensive for what we got, will not recommend this park or be back at any time. Stay in Huskisson or anywhere else but here.

My experience was at the pool pre ( covid)a bunch of teenage kids using The pool were using vulga language around many other families with small children they were throwing chairs and towels into the pool making it a very uncomfortable atmosphere for all who were trying to enjoy the communal pool . I mentioned to them could they please stop acting in this way in front of other families and children.i didn't get a very nice response. There also was another father at the pool who intervened but they replied using foul language with no regard. The manageress was contacted, explaining the situation to her she never came to speak with the out of control teenagers . After waiting for her response with a no show. myself and other families left the pool area keeping our kids away from the teenager , there were around 5 in total boys and girls. I also noticed kids being very rough and out of control on the jumping pillow , I understand kids being kids having fun but there are plenty of rules and signs around saying no flipping on pillow . It's a shame the manageress has no regard for her own rules in the park i came across videos on her socials posting videos of her own child flipping on the pillow and praising her, callng her (my little flipper) Very disappointing to think the people implementing these rules find it all ok for themselves . I also witnessed her screaming at her staff in front of many patrons like they were animals ,this I find highly unprofessional.

It's a lovely family holiday spot. There is plenty to do for kids in the resort: swimmingpool, mini water park, mini golf, bounce mats, playground, and big screen movies at night. Resort has its own beach entrance. Facilities are kept neat and clean.

We unfortunately got a week of bad weather during our stay which made it miserable. The amenities are a little undersized for the amount of people. The sites are generous but a little sloped. The main beach is nice and the local township has almost all you need.

The service and the cleanliness and the location is fantastic. Nice size site Walk to the beach and the wharf for a fish New bathrooms and good camp kitchen The only downfall is all of the on-site vans. Way to many and drive through blocks of them to get to our site. It takes away from a nice holiday location.
