Many of us enjoyed ourselves so much at Evans Head in February that we have decided to return for an End of Year Celebration weekend on 25, 26, 27 November. In fact we enjoyed ourselves SO much, many of us are going for the week of 20-27 November! Casey at Evans Head Holiday Park, is reserving all the sites (except for 2 long stay vans) in the dog friendly area along the front facing the river, sites 640-655. She will only hold them for a few weeks so GET IN QUICK!!! Phone 02 6682 4212 & say you’re with the Vintage Vanners www.northcoastholidayparks.com.au/park/info/evans-headwww.northcoastholidayparks.com.au/park/map/evans-headJust click to download site map before you book Powered sites $33/night, Unpowered riverfront sites $30 Deposit is $50 There are no pensioner discounts. If booking is cancelled 7 days before, then deposit can be transferred to another date with no penalty or refund can be taken minus a $30 admin charge. We have booked the Kiosk (right next door to the area we will be situated), just for our Group, for our End of Year Celebration on Saturday evening, 26 November. If we have an idea of numbers closer to event, the Kiosk will add extra tables. As you can see from the following menu, the meals are simple but cheap, with added benefit of BYO within walking distance of vans! Closer to the event we can throw around ideas of dessert (Kiosk has great icecreams) & decorations/tablecloths etc. www.evans-head.com.au/riverfront-kiosk-cafe-menu/So I’ll say it again! Phone Park & get in quick for a great site in a fantastic location! |

Hi all
people were asking about Evans Head event. Here's the thread with all the links etc for people to book direct with the Caravan Park. Don't forget to mention you're with the Vintage Vanners in the dog friendly area!
We have booked the Kiosk for Saturday night 26 November. We will have sole use of the Kiosk for our Group. There are a lot more rustic tables now so manager says we will fit in our group easily. I'll put his menus up soon, then if everyone can choose off the Menu, I can send it to Manager a week prior to event. If it looks like rain, Bart the Manager will clean up that big shed out the back (can't think what it's called).

When it was Silver Sands C/Park, they didnt take pooches, but about a year ago they have allowed dogs in some seasons, to be in the Council Reserve area down next to the Kiosk near the river. Great spot!

OK folks, its the 1st November, so not long to go to the event at Evans Head. So far 16 vans are booked in. There's still a small riverside site vacant on 653, but for everyone else with larger vans who hasn't booked in as yet, you will have to move into the shady trees. I've been contacted by a photographer who wants to do a story on this Vintage Van event for Jetstar’s inflight magazine. Adrian, the Park manager is very keen of course, as this is great publicity for his gorgeous Park. I suggested to the journalist that most people like to dress up in retro gear for our Saturday night dinner, so do we want to work out a theme for that night such as Hawaiian? or just Retro Gear? Thoughts on this? Music?  Someone wants to bring a music machine? Some of the staff at the Kiosk are musos & offered their services (for a fee), so we'd have to send the hat around for that, if that's what we wanted! In my next post, I'll put up the Kiosk menu & give you an idea of what sort of music the staff play. Great weather, so really looking forward to this event! Kayaks are going for sure! smiles |

Hi Retropod
It'd be great if you are able to call in with your new 16ft baby...seeing the BEFORE picture is almost as good as the AFTER pic!

Hello its Tricia (aka Patrice) I would love to come to this event too (as a 12" Glendale 1976 owner) but plan to be be at Samford gathering just the week prior. So, question is If I was to drive down by car to camp (in my wee igloo tent) within the Chorale of the VVanners to join in the atmosphere?? I know it's a long shot but just putting out the question at least?? I have the Hawaiian gear ready and would be one of the Dancing Persons (does that count as entertainment)!!
