We stayed here 7 years ago, it was then a very nice park. On this visit we found it to be run down and neglected. $35 pn for powered site. Sites and tent camping area overgrown with weeds. Amenities block- shower cubicles full of cobwebs. Disinterested receptionist. Poor value for money. A shame as it could be quite nice with a bit of effort.
