Qld, Agnes Water, Agnes Water Beach Caravan Park

Date of Stay: May 2014 Rating: 1.5
Very disappointing. Such a beautiful place but the park is spoilt by large ugly cabins along the front that prevent a view of the beach. Great if you can afford a cabin I suppose. They also have permanent tents which are much more in harmony with the surroundings. Camp kitchen was dreadful, tucked away in a dark corner of the amenities block. Amenities were old and worn, obviously all the money being spent on the ugly cabins. Having said that we spent 3 pleasant nights there and having stayed at 12 parks in the last six weeks this was the only disappointment.

Qld, Carnarvon National Park, Takarakka Bush Resort - Carnarvon Gorge

Date of Stay: May 2014 Rating: 4
The location is the primary reason for staying here. Staff extremely helpful, amenities clean and functional, dirt, gravel roads and some sites a bit worn out from heavy use but considering where it is can't complain. Saw platypus in the adjacent creek and surrounded by birds and pretty faced wallabies. Staff very knowledgeable about the Gorge which is after all the reason for visiting this park. Roast dinners available every second night and were good value. Stayed 5 nights and loved them all.

Qld, Sunshine Coast, Cotton Tree Caravan Park - Cotton Tree

Date of Stay: May 2014 Rating: 4
Stayed here twice in May. Very big council park, with 5 amenities blocks. Staff went out of their way to find a good powered site. Beautiful location, with more expensive sites on the beach front. Beautifully maintained, clean and good facilities. Swimming pool complex next door but with the river and beach, no need for man made entertainment. Sites can vary quite a bit so take some time, with the staffs help to find a suitable one.

Qld, Chinchilla, Chinchilla Tourist Park

Brand new park established primarily for miners. As expected of a new park everything was clean and in good order. Powered sites are through the middle of the park with cabins down both sides. Neighbors had a noisy night previously with drunk miners but we had no problems. Expensive dining, all you can eat, friendly staff, wouldn't hesitate to stay again.
