I have never experienced so few amenities for such a high price.

$28 for 2 people per night puts it among the most expensive parks I've visited.

However, the campsites are full of stones and rocks (inappropriate for tents, unpleasant for everyone), the amenities block is a days' march from the campsites and contains only 4 toilets and 4 showers.

It was filthy dirty the whole 3 days we were there, though it was only an ordinary weekend and I assume no busier than usual. It was also poorly maintained to the point of being dangerous, with broken tiles, unmarked hot taps, and some vile substance over the tap handles.

Besides the rip-off price for the campsite, you must pay $2 per token, theoretically for a 6 minute hot shower (if you can stand the filth). In the mens' shower the hot water did not kick for for a minute and a half and in the womens' there was no hot water at all.

The lock on the mens' showers broke and no-one could access it the last day we were there.

Reception seemed blithly unconcerned when I reported these issues, though they did give me $2 back for my useless shower token.

The setting is lovely, with some nice positions by a beautiful creek (if you don't mind camping on bare rocky ground). However, there are plenty of nice places to visit, do not stay here.

Approximate cost: $28

This is situated inside the Thunderbird Park in a very quiet location.The camping sites are in a shady area.You can get powered or unpowered sites.Camp fires are allowed.You could bring your own firewood or collect them from around the site.There is a coin operated laundry too.Its a wonderful place to relax and its also dog friendly.The only bad thing (for me)was that all the toilets and the kiosk was near the entrance,so since we got a site somewhere at the back,we had to walk a long way whenever we needed to use them. It would have been much easier if they were located somewhere in the centre.
