Qld, Toowoomba, Toowoomba Motor Village Caravan Park

Date of Stay: May 2016 Rating: 3.5
This park is suitable for overnight or stays of a week or more. The amenities while a bit dated are always clean and tidy. The sites are at the back of the Park and there is very little traffic noise. The main thing that we liked is that the boom gate is always up during the day and only closed at night. This is a great idea as it is nearly impossible to punch in gate codes when towing a van. There is a shopping centre nearby and Maccas etc are close by. Recommend this park. Would stay again.
