Opal Hot Springs & Holiday Park
Great little unit, comfy beds, access to an over in the campsite kitchen, but there’s a stove, microwave, kettle and toaster with a full set of dishes in the room. Pool was so much. For the kids, and the hot pools were great. We’ll be back!

Oceanside Resort & Twin Towers
The room was clean and the location was great — close to both the mountains and the beach, which made it easy to enjoy the area. However, there were no soaps provided in the container, and I found that many basic items came with additional charges.
