Located a wee bit out of town, surrounded by a number of other cvan parks. This is a BIG park. The administration block is at the entry at the mid point, To the left seemed to be the section for campers and smaller vans, and to the right are the nomads and larger vans. When we were there the left side seemed pretty full, while the right side (where we were put) was pretty empty.

Site were grassy with a concrete annex pad of good size and plenty shaded. There was a central water and waste connection for four spaces, but in our case was located too far from our site. So the waste went on the ground,, and a kind neighbour rushed over with a hose extension for the water, almost before I knew I needed it. The sites were of good size to allow the van length plus some, but also wide for the car to park next to the annex, and still plenty of room. Road size and maneuverability without complaint.

There are plenty of amenity blcoks, and are really well sized for all people - wide door ways, plenty of circulation space, varying heights of basins etc, but the individual cubical sizes were oddly a bit small.....
Very clean and well maintained. The females' at our end even had a few geckos.

At the entry point are two reasonable sized pools, plus a small toddler pool. Management has a community function on daily, whether didgeridoo performance, local talent, star gazing and talks, pancake brekky etc. There are a couple of large under cover jumping pillows and a playground etc.

Not sure about pets - didn't see any at all in the week we were there.

Stayed there a couple of years ago and had an awesome time! Lots of entertainment around the park for the kids, and a great place to kick back and relax! And the pancake breaky, was fantastic!
