Hervey Bay does seem to have a certain attraction, the Granddaughters seem to be the main one but on heading north it seems a natural place to stay. We only stayed for 3 nights at at the big 4 park at Point Vernon. The park is quite small with permanents at one end; the roads are narrow and the sites are a little cramped. The park is is surrounded by residential estates so the odd barking dog is to be expected. There are a few local small shops but in the main the park is nowhere near anything walkable; you pretty much need to drive to pubs, clubs, supermarkets & eating areas.
The park owners/management are very friendly and committed to helping wherever possible; assistance with backing in is done on all arrivals without asking. The amenities are clean and bins are provided at each site. Given the parks location the price in our opinion was a little high but this time of year is whale watching season and there are plenty of southerners to fill the sites available.
Nanny and Poppy with the girls; still trying to get the footprints; cordial stains and ice cream spills off the bedspreads and seats in the van (only kidding).
