Good morning everyone, I did a search for the caravan park at Golden Beach (Onslow St not the military jetty park) but only saw a post from 2012. Has anyone stayed in the Golden Beach Caravan Park lately and, if so, how was your stay please? PM me if you prefer. Many thanks.

Hi. I'm new to caravaning and in the process of buying a second hand Jurgens Wallaroo poptop. If I wanted to use it straight away - collect it and go to a caravan park for a few nights, what 'extras' might I need? Equipment that won't come with the van that I will need to connect etc. Thanks
