Nice park. Ensuite cost $43pn for two. Good wifi (Telstra) poor tv. The only problem we had was with buses parked close to our van. They started up at 6.45am to set their air conditioning to warm the bus and left motors idling for up to 20 minutes. When one stopped another started so we had an hour of continuous diesel motors idling before they all left by 8am. The buses were parked at times with the engine and exhaust about 3 metres from our van making the noise very intrusive. This is a very popular overnighter for school children, who were well behaved. The management should look at alternate parking so that ensuite site occupiers are not inconvenienced by bus noise.

Liked:- Open layout. In the middle of Albury. We listened to the New Years Eve concert from the adjoining showgrounds and enjoyed the midnight fireworks.
Disliked:- Blase attitude when booking in. We were told there were plenty of sites near the amenities - which there were except the power outlets and water were far apart making it difficult to access both. The park is next to the main railway line so expect noise from trains at night. Toilet paper jammed in dispenser. Cleaning of amenities started at 8am and finished about 9.15am.
Parking:- Plenty of room.
Local Information:- In the middle of Albury and handy to everything.
