Clifton Old Bar and Reflections Holiday Park at Jimmys Beach were among the winners at the Caravan and Camping Industry Association (NSW) awards of excellence.
The event, held at Crown Sydney Barangaroo, saw members gather to honour the outstanding contributions and achievements of individuals and businesses who exemplify the best of the industry.
"Over the past 12 months it's been great to see the growth in the number of people engaging in caravan and camping holidays and the significant expansion of our market reach across demographics, which reflects the diverse options, affordable price points, and enriching experiences these holidays provide," Lyndel Gray, CEO of CCIA, said.
"Our resent analysis of consumer trends shows caravan and camping getaways are highly desirable and recognised for providing excellent holiday choice with visitors consistently recognising the high quality of service, amazing locations and cleanliness of holiday parks.
"These awards are a recognition of the many exceptional businesses who work together, from holiday parks to manufacturers and retailers of RVs, coupled with the accessible and affordable housing offered by our land lease communities, that make our industry so enduring."
