WA, Mullewa, Mullewa Caravan Park

Date of Stay: September 2020 Rating: 4
$30 pn. Lovely park, great sites. Amenities very clean with plenty of hot water for the showers. Council owned park and now has on site caretakers for August to October. Otherwise book in at Liberty Service Station. Sites are bitumen with raised grass area for annexe and designated spot to park car. Dump point next to the amenities is just a square hole in the ground. Last here in 2016 and park is still excellent.

Advised by reception that Park was closing on 11 October 2020 for refurbishment and would remain closed for the 2021 season and possibly part of the 2022 season. No rating given as park was closing for refurbishment

WA, Gascoyne Junction, Junction Caravan Park

$39.00 pn. Very overpriced for what you get. Book in at the adjacent Hotel/roadhouse. Park is fairly new with indications it was rebuild after floods in 2014. Park appears to have little maintenance or cleaning since then. Was originally offered a grass site by reception but then changed to a concrete site near the amenities. Subsequently looked at the grass sites which were a layer of dead grass over red dirt. Amenities were filthy and had to find a mop to clean shower before it could be used. To add insult to injury there was no hot water. Modern camp kitchen with twin barbeques which were very hard to light. Again not clean. Dump point at front of Park. Staff not very helpful. Asked what there was to do in the area and told “nothing”

$28.50 pn. Council owned park. Showers good but no shower curtains hence dressing areas got wet. Small cubicles but amenities block was very clean as was the whole park. Sites are crushed blue metal base but were very roomy. Excellent friendly on site manager. Excellent well fitted out camp kitchen and laundry with free washing machines. Dump point at front of park.

WA, Carnarvon, Outback Oasis Caravan Park

$38 pn with Seniors discount. Could choose our site but hard to find one with level base. Rather large park but half empty which was unusual for this time of year. Cleaning and maintenance average throughout park. Amenities needed a good clean but showers had hot water. Laundry was under a verandah overhang and filthy. Wifi was available if you knew where to look (in the games room next to the camp kitchen) Camp kitchen was very basic and again needed a good clean. Dump point down the back of the park near the swimming pool. Feedback from other guests in the camp kitchen who had been coming for a number of years was that the park was going downhill since a change of ownership. Would stay somewhere else next time in Carnarvon.

WA, Moora, Moora Shire Caravan Park

Council owned caravan park kept in excellent condition by caretaker. $30 per night. Ring the caretaker during the day and get a site allocated. After hours book in at the Liberty Service Station across the road. Staff on site were very helpful and amenities were very clean with plenty of hot water. Camp kitchen well appointed and clean. Laundry has free washing machines. The dump point is in the rest area between the caravan park and the main road and can be a rather long walk through a security gate depending where you are in the Park. Overall an excellent park maintained by a long term caretaker who takes pride in the appearance of the park and is to be commended.

WA, Peaceful Bay, Peaceful Bay Caravan Park

Date of Stay: April 2019 Rating: 3
A large rambling park spread behind the dunes just back from the beach. All grass sites (no slabs) with gravel roads throughout which can be a bit dusty if dry. No night lighting apart from amenities block. Only 1 small amenities block which struggles a bit to cope in busy periods which can be a fair hike from some sites. (A number of people with kids were complaining about the hike to the amenities from their sites) We were there over Easter through to the weekend after Anzac Day and paid $500.00 for 8 nights ($62.50 per night) being school holiday premium rate. Our understanding is the daily rate covers up to 6 people per site. Amenities block is old but kept clean during our stay and hot water is hot. Limited water pressure throughout the Park as it appears the water is gravity fed from a hill on the edge of the Park. We were advised that the water is not potable so make sure you have your own drinking water supply. Good shop attached to the office offers basic supplies but there is no longer fuel pumps. Nearest fuel is Bow Bridge 8km away but recommended top up the fuel tank at either Walpole or Denmark.

WA, Leeman, Leeman Caravan Park

Date of Stay: July 2018 Rating: 2
Paid $28 per night (only stayed for 1 night due to the weather) Park is old and very tired with a large number of annuals shacks and permanents although the permanents we met were very friendly and helpful. Owners’ very friendly and explained layout of Park and the town. Power and water to sites but no sullage. Sites were very deep and could accommodate large rigs. Most were grass and only a few had concrete annex slabs Basic camp kitchen with fridge, TV, 2 x gas bbqs etc. Amenities very old and tired but very clean. Hot water was hot and water pressure reasonable. Soap and hand towels provided. No dump point in Park but the town has a dump point located at the sports ground in Wann Street. Leeman had the cheapest diesel between Perth and Geraldton (12c – 15c per litre cheaper July 2018 during school holidays)

WA, Port Gregory, Port Gregory Caravan Park

Paid $37 per night (2A) during school holidays for week’s stay. Seniors discount available. Lovely Park with grassy sites, some with concrete annex slabs. Most sites have shade. Owners very friendly and put a lot of work into the park to keep it maintained. Good camp kitchen with 2 large bbqs but could do with a hot plate. Large screen TV. and games area. 2 amenities blocks with the main block starting to show its age but the hot water is plentiful and hot with good water pressure. No hand dryers. Laundry has 3 washing machines and 1 dryer. ($3 per wash)There is a smaller camp kitchen with the other smaller amenities block in what is called the lower level. Dump point located in the Park. The town water supply is not suitable for drinking and there are signs at the entrance to town advising this. The park has a large rainwater tank but be prepared to bring own drinking water if required. There is only one general store in town supplying a limited selection of groceries (no fruit or veg) and limited liquor outlet (not open on Sundays) so come prepared. Only fuel outlet in town is at the caravan park.

Qld, Groper Creek, Groper Creek Caravan Park

Date of Stay: May 2018 Rating: 3
Located 15km from Home Hill this is mainly a small fishing village with the caravan park spread along the edge of the creek. Paid $164 for a week (Pay for 6 stay 7) Very friendly Owners who go out of their way to make you feel welcome. Appears to be mainly frequented by people who come for the fishing and stay for lengthy periods. All sites are grassed but the park can go under water when the Burdekin River floods and the power boxes are located on poles approx. 2.5 metres off the ground which requires climbing up a ladder to connect to power. Park has a couple of bbq sheds with bbq and sink but no camp kitchen. Water pressure to sites is terrible and we used the water pump in the van most of the time. Amenities block is more of a public toilet setup with 3 pans and 2 showers. Showers are locked off and you obtain a key from the office for them when you book in. Notwithstanding this they are in a very clean condition. Due to water availability problems showers are 10c for 3 minutes but the good thing is the excellent water pressure and the hot water is hot. Park has just installed a dump point which is outside the Park next to the Fire & Rescue enclosure. There are 2 boat ramps adjacent to the park plus a good jetty for fishing. No shopping facilities or fuel supplies so stock up in Home Hill before coming out. Make sure you include plenty of insect repellent as the mossies & midges will carry you away.
