First Sun Holiday Park

First Sun Holiday Park is one of the more affordable options around Byron Bay if you’re not fussed about flash digs. It’s a decent-sized park with powered and unpowered sites for caravans and tents, plus a few cabins if you’re after something a bit easier than pitching a tent. Expect the usual busy vibe in peak season – book ahead if you want a spot.

The park is about a 10-minute drive from the centre of Byron Bay, so you’re close enough to hit the main sights but far enough to dodge the worst of the town’s crowds and prices. Facilities include a camp kitchen, laundry, and a pool, which is handy when the Byron heat kicks in. The sites can be tight, so bigger rigs might struggle a bit.
