Reviews of Killalea Regional Park
"The campground is not worth the price. The facilities are in very bad conditions. Loose tiles and after rain water came through the roof. In the Men’s shower was just freezing cold water. The camp kitchen is sheltered and big, but there are just many picnic tables, BBQ grills and sinks. Nothing more. There is a little path, where you can get back to the Main Street, to go to the beach. Water from the tab was brown so I guess it’s not drinkable. Check in after 2pm checkout before 10am. A barrier blocks the entrance and exit and can only be opened with the code you get when online booking. All in all we’ve been a bit disappointed about this place."
"Average. Thr camping plots are fine and it's close to beach. But it's an unattended park with only booking. There's bathroom and shower block on site. And a shared kitchen bulding. Washer and dryers are coin operated, but they're so rusted and decrepid that I doubt they work. Come prepared to be self sufficient if you camp here. Sites are not powered."
"Very small campsites with amenities. Our site (closest to toilet block) pooled with water during a storm and remained muddy for the remainder of our stay. Overpriced due to having hot showers, kitchenette which was useful to have. Bathrooms a bit run down. For beach access it's best to drive then walk. It's a fairly long way. No beach views from camp. Not much to do at the campground. Need to drive out. Overall it's okay but definitely the price is too steep."
