- Van Rooyen (6/5): -
- Susan (9/5): - Lovely comfy cabin no 1, overlooking the river. Had an issue with getting online to complete a form but staff couldn't have been more helpful. Well equipped cabin. Nothing
- Rugless (9/5): - Everything was great ,I would definatly stay again .just wish i could of stayed longer .
- Paul (10/5): - Caravan sites are big and not cramped in
- Lisa (9/5): Beautiful views , spotless - We stayed in the Clarence river waterfront cabins. Very clean bedding which is important for me. Accomodation was spotless , warm , very strong shower pressure. Kitchen had all we needed for our stay.
Beautiful view of the Clarence river. We saw it many different conditions of which the foggy morning was the most spectacular . Nothing

Facilities
- Rebecca (8/5): Lovely riverside location with good facilities for the kids and a nice quiet atmosphere. - Lovely views of the river from our cabin and a great spot for water skiing. A little further from town than some others but there was plenty to do onsite with a pool, jumping pillow, riverside area to relax and bbq facilities etc. The laundry facilities were a bit limited with machines being out of order or generally unreliable.
- Andrew (9/5): - Riverside location was excellent. Comfotable for the kids to walk-around and explore.
Jumping pillow and pool were nice to utilise before we checked-out. Nil
- Fallon (9/5): Lovely location - The park is really lovely, quiet during the day and the cabin has a beautiful riverside location, staff we’re really lovely. The annual lodge behind Riverside Cabin 4 utilises the cabin's dedicated parking space as a rear access to their site. During our stay, they had a party that was really loud, with numerous guests walking between the cabin late into the night. They were nice enough, but as this was a rest stop for us between a long drive it made it difficult to rest.
- Alexander (10/5): -
- Ashok (3/5): We were provided with villa details with river front view at the time of booking and later cabin was confirmed Not hap - We were provided with villa details with river front view at the time of booking and later cabin was confirmed

- Denise (10/5): Had a great 2 night stay and will staying again for one night on the way home - Lovely holiday park, clean facilities and welcoming staff Swimming pool could be bigger
- Mcfarland (8/5): -
- Tim (3/5): Expected better for the location and price point. Unfortunately won’t be returning. - Location on the Clarence river was amazing.
Staff were friendly
Camp kitchen was ok, roof whirly birds were broken and rain was coming in. Standard two bedroom cabin was very average for the nightly price. More detailed photos are needed as the description in some areas are not what was expected.
Air con struggled with hot day and rooms need fans.
Cooking Facilites in cabin was limited, would be good to have balcony bbq.
Pool has no umbrellas or shade near pool, also pool bottom is wearing
- Jenny (9/5): -
- Gaye (7/5): - Cabin was modern and no bunk beds Very basic utensils
No prior warning that need to have bottled water for drinking, thankfully some was provided
- Cherryl Joyce (10/5): -
- Kim (9/5): Great spot and although out of town not too far. nice place to stay - Friendly helpful staff, quiet, nature friendly
- Kerry (10/5): - Location
- Melanie (5/5): wouldn't stay here again -
- adam (10/5): - Was great
- Danielle (10/5): Very clean, quiet and relaxing - Very clean and quiet. As there were people in campsites with voices that echoed you could only hear this when you went out side day/night. The bed springs where collapsed this did make it uncomfortable to sleep leaving with a back ache the next day.
- Kaitlyn (10/5): -
- FRANZ JOSEF (10/5): -
- Colin (7/5): -
- George (8/5): Enjoyable - Good surroundings Distance from Grafton town
- Francine (6/5): - My impression of the Big 4 Big River Holiday Park was a disappointment, over priced for what was on offer. This Park was tidy, but lack shaded areas or greenery, has a very mediocre (small) size gated swimming pool. The two bedroom cabins are very small containing a matchbox size bathroom, the shower floor tiles are extremely slippery, with the shower hot and cold water hard to regulate. The slope down to the riverside from the cabin was too steep if for anyone mobility issues. On the positive side, the outside verandah is generous in size providing a beautiful river view wth adequate seating and at the time of our stay quite being a non school or public holiday time.
- Troy (10/5): -
- Kara (10/5): -
- Penelope (10/5): -
- Shaun (8/5): Excellent - Neat and tidy
- Elain (10/5): -
- Barbara (7/5): Well priced out of town stay. - Quiet and affordable. No comfortable chairs. Stove didn't work and while it was fixed for day 2 we were left without cooking facilities a long way from town.
- Lucy (8/5): Very good -
- Samantha (10/5): Exceptional -
- Warren (8/5): Lovely quiet location with comfortable and clean villa accommodation overlooking the river. -
- Jennifer (10/5): Exceptional - The views were awesome and very peaceful
The staff were great
Great atmosphere and close to town loved it If you stay here, be ready to be off the grid. The phone reception wasn't that great, but who needs your phone while skiing anyway.
- Belinda (10/5): Exceptional -
- Julee-anne (10/5): Even though this was a little bit out of town, it was so relaxing and I felt very safe and secure. - A very peaceful location
- Sam (10/5): Exceptional -
- Glen (8/5): - Property and cabin was great, however there isn’t a lot there for young kids apart from a jumping pillow. Given they have a camp kitchen, some games and a playground wouldn’t go astray! Apart from that, staff are amazing and cabin was clean and comfortable.
- Hazel (6/5): Pleasant -
- Gina (10/5): Exceptional - Location was fantastic Maybe a BBQ down by the river would be my only thought as your not allowed to BBQ on the verandah but apart from that we loved it
- Guy (7/5): Good -
- Allison (9/5): Superb - The staff were phenomenal. Trudie and Mel in the office were outstanding!
Have already re-booked for Aust Day weekend.
Will be a regular weekend getaway for us now The pool was small and basic. Not what you expect from visiting other Big4 properties.
- Renee (10/5): Exceptional - I loved the premises was spotless, the receptionist was more than amazing and I felt secluded and safe the entire time I was there. There was nothing I didn't like.
- Georgina (2/5): Not like other Big4's.... - Pillows: The pillows were comfortable, which made for a decent night's sleep (when the bugs were not landing on your face)
Quiet Atmosphere: Even though we were told the site was sold out, it seemed like we were the only ones there during our visit, so it was incredibly peaceful and quiet.
Scenic Drive: The 20-minute drive from town to the property was lovely, with beautiful views. Air Conditioning: The air conditioning struggled to cool the space effectively. It took around five hours to adequately cool the lounge room, and even then, it only provided relief if you stood directly in front of it. Additionally, it did not reach the main room or the bedroom with the bunk beds, leaving those areas uncomfortably warm.
Fly Screens & Bug Issues: There were numerous holes in the fly screens, allowing flies to enter the cabin freely. At one point, we counted 40 flies inside. No fly spray was provided, so we had to purchase our own to manage the issue by spraying vents and window seals.
Water Availability: There was no running water in the cabin, only river water which was not communicated upon arrival or through signage in the shower. The small supply of safe drinking water provided lasted only one day, additional water was available for purchase for $6.
Misleading Photos: The images on Booking.com were misleading. The photos implied our cabin was on the waterfront, but it turned out that this view was exclusive to the waterfront cabins.
Connectivity: Wifi and cellular connection were poor, making it difficult to use devices for work or leisure.
- Andrew (10/5): Amazing, will stay again in the future. - Was absolutely amazing and the location on the river was awesome. Pillows were to puffy.
- Sharon (9/5): Superb -
- Maree (9/5): Brilliant find - we WILL be back! - How peaceful the area was. Signage for rubbish and direction of traffic

- Graeme (8/5): Thoroughly enjoyable - A bit far away but ok The bed was a bit small
- Christine (8/5): Very good -
- Blc_from_australia (8/5): A very clean place to stay near Grafton. It would particularly suit people with boats. - Our cabin was fairly new, had all the essentials, and was very clean. Grounds were well maintained, too. The lighting inside was brighter than it needed to be, to the point of being annoying. It would have been nice to have a bedside on each side of the queen bed, rather than on just one side.
- Roberto (10/5): Quite location - Perfect for us. Very far from town
