Wayne & Anne are still the managers and are doing a wonderful job, the park is still in pristine condition, suitable for most rigs, there are a few sites that will take a rig bigger than usual but a 5th wheeler may struggle. No Permanents No Cabins, the caravan Park can arrange accommodation in a cottage across the road. price for the park was $25-00 per night Off Peak. Not with ant caravan park chain. Gravel sites for vans grass sites for tents. free BBQS. In the town next to the service station is an excellent Italian Restaurant, they do Breakfast on weekends. The Burra Hotel food service is woeful here was a gap of 90 minutes between the first main served and the last served only 16 people in group, with many orders the same. Very quite park and town..
