Turtle Sands

Beautiful spot right on the beachfront of Mon Repos beach. Excellent to view the turtles. The caravan park is well set out with spacious sites. The amenities are fantastic and clean. Staff are super friendly too. It was lovely and quiet at night and so nice to hear the sound of the waves on the beach. They put on a free welcome BBQ on Friday night which was so nice of them. Definitely recommend this park.

Bookings of more than six sites needed for park to open, and pre paid, this was not a problem, BUT.... On arrival you have to let your self in and find your spot yourself and basically park where you like, no arrival service at all. When talking to manager (supposed owner) he was very arrogant and his motto, my park, my rules, do as I say not as I do. Doesn't care if you don't come back (his words) Dogs not allowed but his ran free though park and sites at his will. Children not allowed to ride their bikes in the park and very over priced for what you get. Amenities very out dated. It was a lovely park otherwise, great surrounds, beautiful beach as well as bush walks, but my advice, stay at Bargara as not that far away, and do a morning trip to Mon Repos.

Fantastic location. Can’t wait to see what NRMA do with this park. Hopefully they work closely with the turtle centre to ensure the development of the park is a partnership that benefits the environment.

Turtle Sands, Mon Repos is a well-located site adjacent to a nice beach. The site and facilities are very dated and obviously lacked any investment or modernisation for decades. (I understand the owners have been for a number of years, and are currently seeking planning consent for a large redevelopment of the site, and/or sale which possibly explains their clear lack of investment) However, Turtle Sands is significantly compromised by the apparent manager (owner’s son) Ben. Ben has a real attitude problem and deals with most matters from 1000 feet. Ben is the Turtle Sands arrogant, rude dictator who thinks its appropriate to talk and treat customers with disrespect and double standards. Ben’s poor attitude may stem from the fact he is banking (waiting) on the potential aforementioned ‘payday’, or of course he is simply an offensive individual. My friends and family have used Turtle Sands for over 20 years, but will not be returning following Ben’s recent uncalled for verbal assault of non-factual assertions to a friend.
