The fees for the council owned Kyogle Gardens Caravan Park have been kept simple and competitive to attract visitors to Kyogle.
The park was closed for most of last year for its $1.8million upgrade.
There are 27 powered sites with water access and 10 unpowered sites on the former Kyogle Croquet Lawn.
At the July 13 Kyogle Council meeting, planning and community services director Amanda Clark said the new fees were deliberately set lower than other caravan parks in the area.
The council has adopted a nightly fee with no discounts for one week stays.
- A powered site for two adults is $29 a night.
- A powered site for CMCA members is $24 a night.
- An unpowered site for two people is $15 a night.
- Extra people at the site is $5 a night and infants under two years stay for free.
The Kyogle Gardens Caravan Park reopened in November 2025 and is being managed by the council’s Community Development Team.
Previously the booking fees were overly complicated and impractical to implement, the council said. 
Council staff reviewed caravan parks operated by Reflections Holidays, Tweed Holiday Parks and Clarence Coast Holiday Parks to find the right price structure for Kyogle.
Kyogle Gardens Caravan Park differs from these larger sites and is offering low cost stays.
The Kyogle park does not include camp kitchens, barbecues, playgrounds, picnic shelters, recreation areas, or other visitor infrastructure commonly provided at established holiday parks. There is a barbecue and playground across the road from Kyogle Gardens.
The single year-round pricing structure, rather than seasonal pricing, is to provide a simple, transparent and affordable fee schedule for visitors, council said.
Councillors voted in favour of the new fees at the meeting on July 13.
An agreement is being developed between Kyogle Council and the Campervan and Motorhome Club of Australia (CMCA) to manage the Kyogle Gardens Caravan Park. This is why a member only discount is part of the new pricing.
At the meeting councillor Tom Cooper suggested the Kyogle park be the first to have solar panels to charge electric cars and vans.
General manager Marcus Schintler said the Kyogle Gardens was affected by floods.
