First Sun Holiday Park

First Sun Holiday Park offers a range of ways to stay in Byron Bay, from cabins and lodge rooms to powered or unpowered caravan and camping sites, safari retreats and beachfront sites. The park is positioned directly by the beach, with the sand and surf close to your accommodation, while the town centre is also within an easy walk. That makes it practical for guests who want a base near the coast without being far from Byron Bay’s cafés, restaurants, pubs, clubs, shops and markets.

The accommodation suits different styles of holiday. Cabins include two- and three-bedroom options, as well as ocean-view and accessible choices. Campers can choose between powered and unpowered sites, including beachfront locations. For a more comfortable take on camping, the safari retreats combine a nature-focused setting with an ensuite bathroom, kitchenette, air conditioning, a television, a private deck and a BBQ. Depending on the retreat, sleeping arrangements cater for couples, families and groups of friends, with options sleeping up to six people. The couples retreat has a queen-sized bed, ensuite, reclining lounge and private balcony, making it the most clearly tailored option for a quieter getaway.

The park’s setting is a major part of the experience. Guests can start the day with the sound of the surf, walk along the beach towards Byron Lighthouse, or head into town for coffee and shopping. The site also looks towards The Wreck, Byron Lighthouse and Mount Warning, while the surrounding Northern Rivers region provides access to activities such as eco cruises, lighthouse tours, kayaking, hinterland trips and mountain biking through rainforest. These experiences are presented as nearby recommendations rather than activities operated directly by the park.

On site, the facilities include a camp kitchen, laundry facilities, BBQ areas and electric BBQs. Open fires are not permitted, and charcoal BBQs are only allowed when contained with a lid. First Sun is not able to accommodate pets, and sites allow a maximum of six people with one car permitted per site. Families and groups will find the larger retreats, cabins and sites particularly useful, while couples have a dedicated safari retreat option. With a 4.2 Google rating from 472 reviews, the holiday park is a well-located choice for a beach-based Byron Bay stay.
