Not a blade of grass to be seen. The caravan park is dusty and dirty but the sites are roomy, the amenities are modern and very clean, the laundry is free, and it's just what you'd expect in the outback. We had no complaints and we'd go back in a second. Margaret and John, September 2005. |

Quiet and peaceful and very much off the beaten track. If you're looking for seclusion, this is it. The amenites are old but big and clean and the sites are roomy with open fireplaces. The only drawback was that the camping area was on a slope. Margaret and John, January 2005 |

Caravan sites were not bad but tent sites were pretty ordinary. Not keen on the amenities. They were clean but in an old de-mountable building set on blocks. Margaret and John, May 2003 |

A great place to stay, nicely laid out, lots of room, friendly people.
However the amenities are old and the park is right on the Pacific Highway so lots of highway noise at night. |

A great park and very popular; packed to capacity when we were there. Lots of shade trees and grass, and the amenities are old but very clean and well looked after. Lots of hot water. Away from the main road so no traffic noise and there is happy hour every day in the winter. Margaret and John, May 2003. |

A large open park. Only a few tourist sites and they are all in the front, right on the highway. Even so, noise was not a problem. The amenities block is old but well maintained, very clean, and the water is hot and there's plenty of it. Our dog was made welcome and when our little granddaughter arrived unexpectedly to stay with us there was no extra charge. We would have no problem staying here again.

A well laid out park with lots of grass and trees, dog friendly as well. The amenities are modern and clean however an electric pump is used for water and during a severe storm the power went out. No power meant no pump and no pump meant no water. It was a full 24 hours before power was restored. A back-up generator wouldn't go astray. Margaret and John, January 2006 |

No grass, de-mountable amenities building with communal showers, no office (you have to go to the Mobil garage in town), no caretaker or manager on site, and across the highway from the railway line where coal trains rattle through regularly. Adequate lighting at night was a plus but we've had 2 visits - our first and last. Margaret and John, September 2005 |

A small park with gravel road and sites with ample room for parking. Amenities are small (2 showers/2 toilets for each of ladies and gents) but are on a par with any 5-star resort. The only drawback was that many truckies stop to use the amenities as well so campers had to wait. Margaret and John, September 2005. |
