Cooking Facilities at Reflections Parks
Get cooking
When holidaying in NSW, food can be a big part of the experience. Reflections Holidays offers some of the cooking facilities you need to enjoy on your time away from home.
From simple BBQ areas, to equipped kitchens, you can cook your way while on holiday. Most holiday parks feature camp kitchens fitted with fridges, cooktops, barbecues, kettles, toasters, and a microwave.
Some parks don't have camp kitchens, and but there is nothing better than cooking on fire. Check out what the park allows before you travel as each is different.
If campsite cooking isn't for you, many parks have kiosks that sell items and snacks, and the waterside location of our parks puts you very close to some of the nicest restaurants NSW has on offer.
The camp kitchen and BBQ areas at Reflections Holidays are perfect for getting together with friends and family and enjoying a meal on a warm summer night. Bring your own cutlery, crockery and cooking utensils. There are seating options in the camp kitchen and BBQ areas, so everyone can sit down together and enjoy their meal/s.
You won't be disappointed when you stay at Reflections Holidays!
Cook more than a basic snag on the park BBQs
How to use a gas BBQ
Using a gas BBQ in Australia is about as simple as it gets—too easy! Most models come with an ignition button, so all you need to do is open the lid, turn on the gas, and push the button. You’ll usually hear a click and see the flame kick in. Many BBQs also have an indicator light, wait for it to turn green, and you're good to go. That’s it. Bob’s your uncle!
How to clean a gas BBQ
Cleaning is just as laid-back: once the BBQ has cooled down a bit, give the plate a light scrub with a bit of warm water, a drop of dishwashing liquid, and a non-abrasive brush or sponge. No need to go overboard.
What can you cook on a gas BBQ?
When it comes to what you can cook—well, the sky’s the limit. Get your snags sizzling, whip up a full brekky (eggs, bacon, tomatoes and all), brown your mince for taco night, throw on some chicken fajitas, or flip a few burgers. Honestly, it handles the lot—and yes, snags definitely deserve a second mention.

Cooking up a storm in the camp kitchen
What can I expect in a camp kitchen?
Camp kitchens come in all shapes and styles. Some are open-air, where you can flip snags under the stars, while others are fully enclosed so you’re covered rain or shine. A few have views that are pretty hard to beat—like Seal Rocks or Bonny Hills, where cooking comes with a side of ocean breeze. And then there’s the brand new kitchen at Forster Beach, which really steps things up. It’s modern, roomy, and perfect for cooking up a feed with mates or the family.
Most camp kitchens have all the basics you’d expect—BBQs, kettles, toasters, and microwaves. Some even come with cooktops and ovens if you’re feeling fancy. You can whip up all sorts of meals: toast your bagel, scramble some eggs, cook a steak, throw together a stir-fry, or even bake a lasagne if the oven’s going. Whether you’re keeping it simple or getting a bit creative, there’s plenty you can cook up in a good camp kitchen.
Keep a look out for the icons below on the website or park map to know where the camp kitchens are.
Camp cooking inspo
When it comes to planning a barbecue, picking the right recipe is essential for success. Cooking on the barbecue adds a unique smoky flavour that can’t be replicated any other way. Whether you're serving up burgers, kabobs or something else entirely, it'll taste even better when it's eaten with family under the stars of a holiday park retreat.
