NRMA Blue Dolphin Yamba Holiday Resort

We had a mostly positive experience at this park. The play zones are fantastic, with plenty to keep the kids entertained. However, some areas could use a bit more cleaning, especially the Kids Kave, which had quite a bit of dirt and sand buildup.||Most facilities appear to have been recently updated, but the camp kitchen felt notably outdated. It was very basic and quite rustic compared to the rest of the park. Since we were camping with our 1-year-old, it was a bit of a hike to the kitchen from our spot. Adding a microwave or other basic amenities to the BBQ areas would be incredibly helpful.||On a positive note, the pool areas were absolutely amazing – definitely the highlight of our stay. We’d consider coming back if we were passing through, but the camp kitchen was a bit of a letdown in an otherwise great park.

A great family orientated park with lots of child friendly activities. Two pools ( including slides, a splash pad and a swim up pool bar), mini golf, games room, mini indoor rock climbing, movie room and a jumping pillow. The main area for improvement was the ensuite site bathroom had scalding hot water. Easily as hot, if not hotter, than a boiled kettle! High risk of severe burns for young children. We reported to reception upon checkout and I really hope they take prompt action to fix before someone is hurt. Some tips for others - - camp kitchen was very basic. Dishwashing liquid dispenser was empty. No lighter was provided to light the gas cooktop. Make sure you BYO these! - bring mozzie repellent/coils. Lots of mozzies! - this is not a park for loud, drunken partying as nearly all families have young kids. If you are looking for somewhere for lunch or dinner, I highly recommend the Sanctus Brewery in Townsend. Nice vibe, great range of drinks and really tasty food!

We had an ensuite site which was great for our first adventure out with our new van. It was spotless and stocked with towels and soap. The water was hot and the shower spacious. The sites were large with room for our car and the gazebo set up. We would definitely return or try another NRMA park.

No surveillance. No warnings. Got robbed for over 300 dollars. Reception wasn’t even sympathetic. Just a 5 second conversation where they said they can’t do anything and to report it to the police. Clearly it happens all the time. They need to do better. Lock up everything at all times sketchy people are about and taking loose things.

Absolutely loved staying here, so many activities for the kids, so affordable for facilities available. Travelling as 2 single women for my friends child's 6th Birthday, all of the staff made a fuss on his birthday and he felt so excited to celebrate his birthday with so many new friends acknowledging him huge shout out to Aimee and Steve for making Logan's 6th Birthday so special!! ♡All the staff are so patient and attentive and Absolutely a vibe. Wish there was an option pull-out couch in the one-bedroom villa for 2 adults that weren't a couple without having to pay extra for a 2 bedroom and that the pools were heated for winter but overall AMAZING 10/10 will be booking again!

Great experience, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The children loved the playgrounds and pools as well as the kids activities room. The room did smell very damp when we first arrived.

We didn't stay in the accommodation as we had a van, however it seems to be a very nice park with great amenities and large van sites. However we were very disappointed with the advertising of "Dog Friendly". It should advertise that they are "Dog tolerant" as we were placed in the far back corner on a swamp and beside the main road with the other dog owners. While the weather was very wet (and not their fault), our site was a mud pit. There were many other available higher and dryer and less swampy sites, but obviously not for dogowners. I could understand if the park was full, but it was almost empty. We were also told that we should refrain from walking our dog around the main area and the pool areas and stick to the outside parameters. Very disappointing NRMA and disrespectful.

NRMA took over this park recently and now the DO NOT recycle! Appalling! Even if they just set something up the front and the local school can recycle it to raise money through return and earn. Would cost them nothing and play a positive role in the community and for the environment. I can't believe in 2025 places are not recycling. Staff driving around the park on multiple occasions using phones and driving utes/golf carts, utes going well above the 10km/h speed limit. On one occasion came very close to hitting children, we asked to speak to management and had no response. Rooms need to be maintained, window sills, benches and bed frames all in deteriorated condition. 1 bedroom villa had triple bunks that were very small, teenagers wouldn't be comfortable in them and too high for younger kids. Pool set up is baffling for a family park. 1 heated pool which is designated as an adult area around the swim up bar. Go karts were hired out despite them knowing they did not function. Very old and need replacing. Only one water slide was open with no explanation and never reopened over the week. Pump track was the great and in good condition. Inflatable pillow would close when it rained, fair enough, and then noone would reopen it without prompting once it was dry. One day it just never got turned on and again no apology or explanation. Location is great for nature access, right on the river and beside the boat ramp. Plenty of space for boat parking around the park, some rooms accommodate this better than others. 5 minute trip into town.
