Manager's name is Kerry & Murray Earle
We have stayed here a couple of times this year and found this park to ideal for us. Sites are spacious and shady most with lush green grass. there is a little traffic noise from the highway but this tends to quieten after dark. The amenities are very clean although there were a couple of showers with tiles missing there are plenty of showers to choose from and very spacious showers. We asked what it would cost to check out a couple of hours late and were told just go when you are ready-no problem. permanents seemed to be workers coming and going. We will certainly come here again. Telstra mobile Broadband is 4G in Dubbo.
