Okay for the overnight stay. As this is a crossroad to other areas, and trucks frequent the stop, it can be a little noisy at times. Caravan park is attached to motel and service station. From the caravan site, it is 100 meters to walk to cafe and eating area (which is very large with plenty of room for sit down meal). The caravan park, small (14 sites), only has one toilet and shower for males, and the same for females. More toilets and showers are up at the cafe.
Friendly staff, no complaints. Reasonable value for money $25 for 2A PN, powered, peak season. Amenities are close to only some sites, were clean, condition is good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, paper towels/dryer provided. Mostly level sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate medium to large vans, no sites with annex slabs, very few sites are shaded, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. No rec room, no camp kitchen, no wireless internet available. carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 1. Noisy, open & roomy park, inadequate shade, no permanents. No BBQs. No playground. No pool. Suitable for overnighter.
Liked:- The meals at the cafe were great, being a truckie stop.
Disliked:- Only one shower/toilet, noise of trucks.
Parking:- Plenty of room to park.

Good park off the main beach area and quieter. Many permanents in park and driveway to site is very narrow. I had to get the guy opposite to move his vehicle so I could get my 18ft van onto my site. The cement slab we had was very high off the ground. To back in (due to the lack of room to maneuver, I had to put wood blocks down to drive over, otherwise the cement slab would have been too high. Shower hot water is for 6 minutes before it runs out.

Manager's name is Sara and Jeff.
What a wonderful caravan park to stay at. We were shown to our site before paying, and before I could get to the office to pay, Sara wandered over with scones, jam and cream, and make us feel right at home. They invited us to the gathering around the fire at 5pm. The amenities were fine for the park size (only 20 odd vans). So quiet at night time, being 3ks from the highway.

While this is adequate for the short overnight stay, and the amenities adequate, the road noise from trucks at night, as the park is on the main road is a little off putting. If you need to stay in Temora, and do not mind the 7am flight into the airport, the airfield (both run by the council) is the better option as it has much better facilities and is quieter (as long as there is no air show).

Stayed here twelve months ago on our trip north. Always a good stay with clean amenities close to most sites. Nice flat, grassed sites. Away from passing traffic of highway so nice and quiet sleep. Has everything you need for the overnight stay or a few days.
