Upon arrival at this park it was a cat and mouse game trying to find the checking in office, only for a fellow travaller who directed me in the right direction NO SIGN POSTING this park has a 260 relocatable homes attached they have no pool or camp kitchen so they invade the caravan parks facilities sounds reasonable until you see the state they leave the camp kitchen in. The BBQs were not cleaned for the 10 days we were there which makes me wonder what else is not getting cleaned.

Liked:- the relaxed atmosphere wildlife was abundant close to beach and lagoon.
Disliked:- the office and ground staff, seems they really don't like their jobs, office hours leave a hell of lot to be desired close at 5.00pm weekdays, 3.00pm saturday and 12.00pm sunday. Not good enough especially if you arrive after those times which so often happens to travellers, try ringing the phone numbers 1800 number clicks off straight away and the normal number nobody answers. I worry to think if something was to go wrong here in an emergency. Tried to get mote information was given a pamphlet, asked when the garbage bins are emptied was told they ran out of time today. Had to endure a party in the camp kitchen which had a live band with amplified music which didn't stop until after midnight, was nor forewarned of this. Dogs apparantly are permitted in the pool enclosure when asked about this was told she would take care of with the result of the dog still being in the area only tied up barking annoying all in the pool, I could go on but this park has been here for years and it is quite obvious they are letting it go, shame really.
Parking:- no
Added Touches:- no
Local Information:- no local information was forthcoming is why I went back to the office and was given a pamphlet
