THE LAKE MACQUARIE HOT LIST

Caravanning is back in vogue! Nearly a third of camping grounds across the country are based in New South Wales, and Lake Macquarie is home to countless blissful caravan parks with great outdoor activities on offer such as mountain biking, surfing and fishing. Parks in the region include Ingenia Holidays, which offers grass areas and waterfront villas; Swansea Lakeside Holiday Park, close to great surfing spots; and Blacksmiths Beachside Holiday Park. Belmont Bayview Park is perfectly located between the region’s natural, spotless beaches and the lake, and both Paradise Palms Caravan Park and Wangi Point Lakeside Holiday Park are the places to stay if you love boating. visitlakemac.com.au
