All the staff-from check-in to the couple that were living onsite to do seemingly non-stop cleaning and maintenance on this already lovely park were so friendly and welcoming; dump point about 1 k from CP on road out to Hydro electric plant.
Very friendly staff, staff explained park layout and facilities. Very good value for money $30 for 2A PN, powered. Amenities are close to all sites, were clean, condition is very good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided, dry change area, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, no sites with annex slabs, very few sites are shaded, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Good laundry, good camp kitchen, dump point, wireless internet is available is free, you can use your mobile wireless carrier used was Telstra. Quiet, open & roomy park, inadequate shade, no permanent/annual vans. No playground. No pool. Suitable for a week or more.
Liked:- COVID safe practices amazing, amenities have signs for each cubicle indicating when used so that attentive cleaners who monitor constantly can reclean for each use. Amazing effort! Well laid out sites, shrubs and and trees in between for privacy and easily drive thru access;
Disliked:- Mozzies real bad due to recent rains - but hey worth it to see the beaut wildflowers and birds flourishing. No TV reception
Parking:- Street parking before park entry, park at end of street so no problems
Added Touches:- Communal fire pit well situated away from vans;
Local Information:- Friendly townsfolk, Tourist Info great, Foodland supermarket very good for where it is; motel and pub offer great meals; river walk situated beside CP is nice, lots of lovely birds but mozzies were vicious! New town circuit walk build in progress
Road Conditions:- Bouncy bouncy bouncy, narrow and be aware of road trains
