Friendly staff, average staff response to complaints, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities. Poor value for money ($30 2A PN, powered, off-peak season).

Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate medium to large vans, annex slabs to most sites, shade to most sites, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by.

Liked:- This park had some nice shade, there was plenty of room as there were only a few people there, It was nice and green.
Disliked:- We stayed at this park with friends because someone rated it 4.5. I don't think we could have been in the same park. There were dogs roaming around, not under control, just messing. There are only 5 showers each, these would never be enough in peak time as they have to be shared with the permanents, and some of the cabins, there are 55 sites as well. Behind the toilet block where they have some of the permanents, it looks like a shanty town, this needs to be tidied up to improve the park.
Parking:- Best to wait on the road.
