Halifax Holiday Park
RV park
👍👍 Always a great place to stay. Access to the beach and the bay, depending on your mood. Lots of things to see and do.
Super modern bathrooms and facilities.
Only downside is it's a bit noisy in school holidays, and people DON'T control their animals.

Some say you can fish and then the next sign say you can...

Mod Thai

😠 Food was awesome but the wait staff was absolute disgrace. She really was not keen to work at all. Every meal was served as if she was doing us a favour. We had a big table of 12 and every felt humiliated with her behaviour. Owner should really take his/her staff seriously as it can make or break a...
