Tin Can Bay Tourist Park

10/10 Excellent
"After a very long day, Tin Can Bay Tourist Park was the perfect place to stop. Check in was easy - there was a chance I'd arrive late, and it was no problem to work around this when I spoke to the team over the phone. The cabin was very clean and welcoming, with a large parking space and porch with a lovely outlook over to the trees. Everything I needed was included in the cabin, with a comfortable bed that I sank into and fell asleep right away. Bonus to have a pizza van on site, so I didn't have to think about cooking. Short walk down to the bay, with some gorgeous walking paths and board walks."
