WA, Onslow, Ocean View Caravan Park

Date of Stay: January 2014 Rating: 2
This is a council owned park and needs a large amount of money spent on it to bring it up to a very low standard. The managers are very conscientious at keeping the park clean and presentable. They are trying to make a silk purse from a sows ear.
Very friendly staff, good staff response to complaints, staff helped us at the site, staff explained park layout and facilities. Poor value for money $45 for 2A PN, powered. Amenities are close to most sites, were clean, condition is poor, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, paper towels/dryer provided. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, very few annex slabs, very few sites are shaded, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Basic laundry, no wireless internet available., you can use your mobile wireless carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 5. Quiet, open & roomy park, inadequate shade, many permanents. Clean gas BBQ, congenial bbq area atmosphere. No playground. No pool. Suitable for overnighter, well maintained park.
Liked:- Managers were very friendly and helpful.
Disliked:- Park is very rundown, generally. Roads and sites in need of a major upgrade.
Added Touches:- There is a fish cleaning table nearby.
Local Information:- Unfortunately everything in Onslow is expensive due to the workforce being mostly fly in fly out.
Road Conditions:- Because of local gas project road into Onslow is very good. Because of council roads in Onslow are very poor
