First Visitors Of The Year Arrive At Forrest Beach RV Park

On 1 April 2026, the Forrest Beach Tourist Park officially reopened, with the Forrest Beach Progress Association once again appointed as caretakers, a role they have held for the past few years.

The park’s first visitors were Toby and his dad, who arrived on the 2^nd, Thursday night and stayed for three nights.

When asked why they chose Forrest Beach, Toby said the location was a major drawcard.

‍

“It’s close to the beach, with a fantastic view, and it’s very reasonably priced. The local businesses are also very handy. Last night the takeaway shop served two great meals, and the store has all the supplies we need for our stay, so we don’t need to bring much with us.”

‍

While it is Toby and his dad’s first time camping together, it is not his dad’s first experience travelling to RV parks. He has travelled around 250,000 kilometres across Australia, but after being off the road for a year due to minor health issues, this trip was a welcome opportunity to get the van back in action and enjoy an easy setup.

The park area is also home to an abundance of wildlife, giving visitors plenty to enjoy simply by watching the natural surroundings.
