Local tip
An early start suits a walk to Cape Byron lighthouse and Australia’s easternmost point.

Discovery Parks - Byron Bay is a relaxed holiday and caravan park on Ewingsdale Road, about two kilometres from Byron Bay town centre. The setting suits travellers looking for a base near the coast, local markets and the town’s easygoing holiday atmosphere, with accommodation and facilities designed around longer stays, family breaks and outdoor time.

The park’s main recreational feature is a waterpark, supported by a swimming pool, bouncing pillow, tennis court and other sports facilities. BBQ areas, a camp kitchen and laundry facilities add practical support for self-contained holidays, while hire equipment and a bike station make it easier to enjoy the surrounding area. An on-site cafe or restaurant provides an additional food option, and conference facilities are available for organised gatherings.

Families have plenty of ways to spend time on site, from water play and swimming to sports and open-air activities. The park’s layout and range of facilities also suit travellers combining a caravan or camping holiday with day trips around the Byron Bay region. For travellers familiar with the relaxed holiday-park style found around the Whitsundays, the combination of recreation, shared facilities and coastal access offers a similar kind of easygoing base, although the landscape here is shaped by northern New South Wales beaches and hinterland.

Beyond the park, Cape Byron lighthouse provides a walking destination at Australia’s easternmost point. Main Beach, Clarke Beach and Wategos Beach are family-friendly coastal options, while Little Wategos is reached on foot. Byron Bay’s markets add a local focus, with handmade goods and regional produce alongside the town’s broader food and shopping scene.

Dogs are permitted seasonally and on sites only, so pet stays require attention to the park’s conditions. Campfires are governed by seasonal rules and local conditions, with park management able to restrict them when fire risk requires. Discovery Parks - Byron Bay suits families, caravan travellers, campers and groups seeking a practical coastal base with substantial on-site recreation.
