This park has great pros but unfortunately also comes with some cons. On the plus side, it is a huge family park with lots of space and room to walk around. It has a lot of nice shady areas with lots of wonderful Australian native trees and fauna. It also has a decent size pond with lots of birds and wildlife (including awesome water skinks.) It is a very peaceful park and has all of the usual facilities you would expect and the park prices are relatively cheap. (Great for long stays on a budget.) On the flip side, the bulk of the camping grounds themselves are right near a main road, which unfortunately gets some fairly heavy traffic. The main kitchen camping facilities here are not huge and when there are hundreds of people staying here it becomes a bit of a fight for the use of these facilities. This is the same with the toilets and showers. (I found that in the mornings a lot of the time there is a bit of a line up for the showers and bathroom in general), this was even when the park grounds were a fair bit more quieter. I have always enjoyed staying here, as it is pet friendly and my dogs love going over to the pond either for a swim, or to try and catch the water skinks (which I think is virtually impossible!) Just make sure that if you stay here it is not booked out for some huge music festival, or you can probably assume that you will have to line up for the shower etc. Also make sure that you try and get a site that is not too close to the main road so as to assure getting a good nights sleep without being interrupted by heavy late night traffic.

Generally a nice park but a vastly different feel to most parks we have stayed in. It felt more like a backpackers park - with a lot of very young people staying there.

The park is 2km out of town but there is a bike path all the way in.

The amenities were a little grotty but they were a nice size.

The park has a swimming pool and a camp kitchen. The camp kitchen was in great demand and had all facilities.

Our site was near the road so we did get quite a bit of road noise.

Approximate cost: $35
