About Ballina Holiday & Caravan Park
Considered the hidden gem of the North Coast, Ballina Holiday Park is all about laid-back vibes, where the blue ocean kisses golden sands and every day offers the perfect mix of adventure and the opportunity to chillax on the beach.
Prime location
If being just a hop away from all the excitement suits your style, then Ballina Holiday Park won’t disappoint. Located on the edge of the laid-back town of Ballina on the Far North Coast, the park is an ideal base for an escape from the everyday. The town is small enough to feel secluded yet large enough to have everything you need, including local cafes, shops, and beautiful beaches. Just 15 minutes from Lennox Head and 30 minutes from Byron Bay, the park is also ideal for day trips up the coast, making our Ballina holiday park a prime holiday destination.
