⭐ What Makes This Park Special

Simple Open Space for Kids to Run Around ✅

While Red Devil Park doesn’t have playgrounds or splash pads, the large rugby field offers plenty of room for the little tackers to kick a footy or run around freely. It’s a barebones setup with no dedicated play equipment, so bring your own balls or toys to keep the ankle-biters entertained. Perfect for families who don’t mind roughing it and want a cheap spot to camp with open space for the kids to burn off some energy.

Basic Amenities for a Quick Stop 🚗

This place provides essential facilities like toilets and parking, which some campers found clean and adequate. However, others mentioned the showers and bathrooms were smelly, rusty, and poorly maintained, so don’t expect a fancy setup. There’s no mention of BBQs, picnic shelters, or bubblers, so pack everything you need for a comfortable stay. The site is unpowered and mainly a rugby field with camping spots around it, so it’s best suited for travellers who want a no-frills, budget-friendly stopover.

Things to Keep in Mind When Visiting ⚠️

Multiple reviews flagged issues like expensive fees, especially compared to other campsites nearby, and poor cleanliness of facilities. Noise from early morning bulldozer work disturbed some guests, and the site is basically a dusty rugby field with no shade or natural features. Staff attitude was also criticized in a few reviews. If you’re after comfort or a relaxing arvo, this might not be your go-to spot. Best to arrive prepared with your own water, food, and gear, and consider other options if you want a nicer camping experience near Byron Bay.
