Reviews Summary
Reviews for Eastern Beach Lakes Entrance are mixed, with many praising the family-friendly atmosphere, excellent park facilities, and proximity to the beach. However, some guests have reported issues with cleanliness and cabin allocation, suggesting a need for clear communication with management. +4
"The location was close to the beach and the cabin was very spacious and well set out, however it was disappointing. We realised later that we hadn’t been given the cabin we actually booked, but we weren’t advised of this change. Overall it wasn’t very clean. The dishes we got out of the cupboard were dirty. The oven tray was especially dirty and after scrubbing that and preparing our food to cook we discovered that the oven didn’t work which was quite inconvenient.The shower curtain was short so water went everywhere around the toilet and there was a squeegie mop there to scrape it away. Advised reception on leaving of the problem with the broken oven and was just told no problem and don’t worry about it. Also wrote feedback later to point out that we had not got the cabin we booked but didn’t receive any response. Our review through Boooking dot com, which they requested, was never published. Most places we stayed on a 3 week road trip were better maintained and less expensive. Won’t trust those reviews again."

"If you are looking for a caravan park just out of Lakes Entrace this is it. The NRMA Eastern Beach CVPark is well maintained, good space, clean, friendly family environment and dog friendly too. The sites are roomy and the layout well thought out. Facilities are pretty good with fun activities and different sorts of mobile food trucks coming daily and the coffee cart daily as well. Very close walk to beautiful surf beach, nice walking tracks, and easy to get into town, where there is enough to fill your holiday activity quota. The price is pretty good too. We can recommend this caravan park for long or short stay, cabin, van, caravan or powered/un-powered tent sites. You can relax while the kids ride bikes scooter around, jump on the air pillow, swing or play on playground equipment, also has a great camp kitchen and laundry facilities too. Be prepared to get bugged about money for the claw machines (eh!). Be great if there was more of a games room like table tennis, pool table or other free type games for kids. (As there is only small TV room with books and kids drawing stuff) although there is a pool. Overall it's easy to book a site, definitely do the self check in for a smooth fast entry to the grounds. Have fun!"

"Great value and family friendly with plenty for the kids to do and play on. Awesome staff very helpful with extending my stay. Great grass powered sites even for tents. Very clean facility's and awesome water pressure in the showers 🚿. Enjoyed my stay and had easy access to town and water front with a short drive from the park. Would highly recommend staying there with the family or whatever your travel set up is ."
