We had a delightful stay at this caravan park. The on-site amenities were impressively clean, and the entertainment events offered a great way to socialize. However, our experience was somewhat marred by the unwelcoming attitude of some staff members and strict family rules that made it tough for our kids to enjoy themselves fully.

I had a nice stay at the park hotel, which is conveniently located right on the beach. The amenities were great, and the staff were very accommodating. However, I did find that the noise from the BBQ area was a bit much at times, and I didn't have a chance to use the pool during my visit. Overall, it felt a bit pricey for just one night, but the facilities were clean and well-kept.

We had a mixed experience during our stay, with clean amenities and a beautiful beach nearby, but the unfriendly atmosphere and strict rules for kids took away from the family-friendly vibe we expected. The pool area was nice but could use more consistent cleaning. Overall, it's better suited for adults or short family trips rather than extended stays.

Big 4 Blacks Beach is situated in a fantastic location right on the beach, perfect for morning strolls and sunrises. I found the park to be clean and well-maintained, with friendly and accommodating staff who genuinely care about their guests' comfort. However, the drive-through sites were a bit tight, especially with the neighboring setups. Overall, it's a great spot for a relaxing stay, even if parking can be a little snug.
