Excellent clean park with friendly, helpful staff. We had a site (16) against the boundary fence beside the park which was fitted with a shade cloth floor mating to go under the awning. The amenities were well maintained and there was plenty of hot water available. There was sufficient car parking (restricted to one vehicle) for each site but there was off site parking provided for extra or visitors vehicles. This is the first time we have stayed at this park and did so because our normal park was full but we will now use this as our preferred park on our two visits per year to Albury.
