Skenes Creek Foreshore Caravan Park

This was a challenging review to give. I don't like to say bad things about places, unless they are deserving. I'll keep this as short as I can. Firstly, the good stuff. New bathrooms and kitchen and proximity to the beach, this is what is great about the place. Now the not so positive.Upon checking in, we were met by a vacant couple which it soon became apparent were the site managers, a husband and wife team.They were busy being confused with each other until they noticed our presence. Once served we were directed where to go and made our way to our site. The site was already occupied. Another guest had not followed directions and decided to park next to their friends which had been requested in their booking, but was not arranged by the site manager despite multiple requests leading up to their arrival.No drama, show me where else we can set up.We were given a vacant spot and after setting up, were told that we might need to swap sites again, to which I requested that the manager did everything she could to avoid that. Our booking was only for 4 days and packing up out kit only to roll it out would take a day of holidaying from us.Sure enough, 2 nights in, or our 3rd morning, we were asked to move, to which we refused. The reason for the move was because the site I had been given, belonged to a regular camper who always has that site. My response to that was is my new business currency worth less than a long term camper currency" ? A fairly loud and turbulent verbal discussion ensued and was dissolved by a neighbouring long term camper who came to the manager with a solution.The experience was further dampened because the site they had given us was on the beach side next to a thoroughfare. My partner went for a stroll down the beach

Great location,could do with some more powered sites .Sites quite close together

What can we say, ripper place to stay. We loved staying at this park so much so we booked for later in the year. The staff Alex and Michael were friendly, beach front camping. A chilled vibe with friendly campers. Definitely would recommend for those who love to take their best mate (dogs) and human kind along with them.Thanks guys for a great break from the hustle and bustle.Jody and Lex .

It's a quaint little park located right on the beach. Unfortunately the manager was very grumpy and we never felt welcomed at all. He would basically grunt at you when you asked a question and upon leaving never bothered to return a wave. Our group stayed there to do the Otway Odessy mountain bike race up in Forrest. We normally stay at Wonky Stables in Forrest but this has also changed ownership and was fully booked. The facilities were nice and modern but the manager could certainly do with a course on his interpersonal skills. I never had that experience when speaking to the lady on the phone in making my booking. She was helpful,friendly and very efficient. Based on the grumpiness of the manager, I'd think twice about going back and $60 a night is pretty pricey for a powered site that offers nothing for kids besides a beach which we couldn't use since it rained most of Saturday and into Sunday.

Excellent place. Right on a great beach. New, clean bathroom and kitchen block. Very friendly management. Personally came to check everything was ok. Dog friendly, kid friendly, we will be back!!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay, I wish we stayed longer. Perfect location for the family 10 min from the township. Water is amazing, great amenities awesome service by reception, totally going there again.

Dog friendly location with new facilities. This caravan park is great, small number of sites gives it a good community feel, with just a single road for access.Four beach access lanes gives great access to the creek and beach.Sites are not huge, so book/enquire ahead if you have a large van!

I’ve been coming to skeens creek for about 12 years, as much as I absolutely love the new facilities, which were really needed!!! I found the owners/ caretakers to be a bit grumpy.. my daughter climbed up onto the railing at the office ( like any child would do ) and I got scolded at.. then it was no open fires.. I feel the vibe of the place has gone! Nothing better than sitting at a small fire on a chilly night.. it’s unfortunate. It’s still a very beautiful spot! And I do recommend it to all..I just feel sometimes all the rules and regulations spoil it a bit…

New bathrooms and kitchen facilities are great, apart from pointless security codes on bathrooms. Can hear the ocean all night. 5 mins to apollo bay. Sites are cramped and damp and staff hassle you all day for no reason so good luck finding peace and quiet. Small place overall and overpriced.
