Not a lot of room in the formal parking area for caravans but some space exists on the verges of Ocean Road. On weekends, parking would not be caravan friendly. Only two parallel parking bays. There is another car park in the road adjacent to the Bowls Club and still only 200m from the beach As a usually landlocked coastal creek, Cathie Creek is a safe swimming and fishing destination with the surf option nearby. On the Northern end of the reserve, a path leads to the surf and Lake Cathie Lookout. Don't forget your camera.
