Stockton Beach Holiday Park

Newcastle


The beach is at your doorstep (or should that be tent flap?) at this tourist park behind the dunes in Stockton, a short ferry ride from Newcastle (or 20km by road). With large, grassy campsites, en suites for vans and smart, modern villas, it's a flash place to park yourself. There's a public pool next door.
