SA, Venus Bay, Venus Bay Caravan Park

Date of Stay: November 2014 Rating: 3
Very friendly welcome, facilities are clean. Salt water showers, rain water available at the moment. If you are a fisherman with a boat you will love this park. If not then you will run out of things to do on the first afternoon, not the parks fault, they are trying hard to provide a good service. Good for a couple of days.
