You'll see how busy it is quick enough. We don't book unless its really busy and usually only a day or 2 ahead. Its nice to know that your place is secure, then you don't have to hurry to get there early.

I have found if you arrive at the CV Park around 11.00am you should have no problem. I didn't all the way up but then I stayed in free camps most of the way anyway.

When you ring don't forget to ask the price ,if not when you rock up , you might get a fright at some of the price hikes i nc/ parks .

We only book if we want to stay longer than a night. And yes, if not booking, turn up early and get your money's worth - almost a full 24 hours.

So true - unless you decide to travel fewer kms. Bit hard if it's on the Hay Plains or somewhere like that. Guess that's why you need to be set up for freecamping too.
