Boasting a lovely outdoor swimming pool, BBQ facilities and free parking, BIG4 Karuah Jetty Holiday Park sits directly next to the Karuah River. The property also has a 250 metre long private jetty from where you can enjoy fishing. We have stayed here many times, in fact if visiting Newcastle or Sydney we make sure our return trip involves an overnight stop at this BIG4. We have never experienced any problems with any of the cabins we have stayed in. They have always been very clean and well equipped for our needs and stay. Would highly recommend this park.
