As the heading to this entry says, "Access is ONLY possible via ONLINE booking". It's no use going to the office as it is unoccupied. There are many dead flat sights available but only 15 have power and water. Is $25 cheap when you have no power and no water? It's really an overnight parking fee. It's a short walk, say 400 metres to the outskirts of town. No idea if the staff are friendly or otherwise as you never meet them.
Reasonable value for money $25.00 for 2A PN, unpowered. Amenities are close to most sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable, there was adequate hot water, soap provided, paper towels/dryer provided. Inadequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, annex slabs to some sites, no sites are shaded, drive-through sites. Basic laundry, good rec room, good camp kitchen, dump point, secure entry, no wireless internet available. carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 2. Quiet, open & roomy park, inadequate shade, no permanent/annual vans. No playground. No pool. Suitable for overnighter.
Liked:- Sites were very well laid out. All were drive through. Concrete strips between sites clearly delineated boundaries.
Disliked:- With only 15 powered and watered the vast majority were under serviced.
Road Conditions:- Scenery between Newman and Tom Price is spectacular..
