We stayed there just before Christmas, Badger hasn't yet put up our report. We only overnighted so can't give you too much detail, but from recollection it was reasonable, with good amenities but they are on the first floor accessed by an outside staircase, so could be a problem if you have any walking difficulties. Sites were a little close together, well grassed. we didn't have a slab, not sure if other sites did, the park has good trees. There's a dump point, don't think it is 'an open drain' as said in the latest report in badger's above, but a normal dump point. Fresh fruit market is over the road, we didn't go but the prices on the boards outside looked good. We paid $30 for 2 people powered, it was the first day of the school holidays so don't know if it would be cheaper outside of holiday time.

I stayed there 2 years ago. Found it quite ok. Only stayed one night, grassed powered site. Cost was $25.00. Fruit shop opposite was good value for fruit and veges. Would certainly stay there again.

I am a local and although I have obviously not stayed there, it is well setup and managed park right on the river bank and the edge of town (short walk). The park has changed management in the past 2 years and has improved markedly, as usually happens, the the previous long term managers became very blase and quite rude at times (I had cause to call in at times), previous caravanners have commented that the site was good but the management lacked people skills, that has now been eradicated.

My office cleaner and her husband are avid caravanners and the club that they belong to have had a weekend stay there on more than one occasion and the feedback was good each time.

In short, I think that you will find this park will not disappoint.

gst why don't you put a post in Recommendations after you have visited it so we can look it up afterwards? That is, if you would recommend it!
