This is a small park which is fairly quiet and shady. We paid $25 for 2 adults for a powered site. A selection of grass, slab and drive through sites with power and water connections. The park has a covered pool and a camp kitchen. No dump point. Shower and toilet facilities are reasonable but might struggle in peak times. Telstra mobile strength of 3 bars with WiFi using your own mobile. Overall a nice shady park which is suitable for overnight or a few days. Park is pet friendly.
