Handy central location. Facilities are as clean as they can be. Chronically overloaded facilities though, even with the park quite empty, because frustratingly they close most of the facilities to save costs outside of peak seasons. Theres three sets of bathrooms and they only open one, and consequently theres often a (short) queue for the shower and toilets, and most nights its a battle to find a free hob in the kitchen. Zero chance of a free table unless you eat very early or very late. Bathrooms need way better ventilation, as theres water constantly dripping from the ceiling and the whole bathroom feels and smells like a jungle. Spa water could have been cleaner and more regularly replaced, especially for $40 per hour, and the spa windows meant very little privacy as people often walked over to peer in. No towels provided, even with a spa hire (though you can hire a towel for an additional $5). Overall it wasnt bad, and its handy having a central location, so we would stay here again, but it wasnt our favourite.

We stayed here 3 nights in total. The first two nights felt very cramped. One kitchen open but it was manic inside. The noise level kept getting higher and higher. The wait to use the facilities because everyone wants to cook or wash their dishes. It got so bad I just went and hid in my tent. The kitchen is very clean, but make sure you label as it will go missing! Biggest problem is unlike other campgrounds they don't leave labels and pens in the kitchen for you to use. You got to go all the way back to the office. Make sure you date them or it will be taken away as we found out! Only one set of bathrooms available too. At night the girls bathroom is flooded by the showers. I think one is blocked. The toilets in the morning are horrendous. Wait to get in and not well ventilated. They have more facilities but all were closed. I get it isn't as busy but it sure was busy enough to keep more open. We used the spa on the second night for $40 for the hour. It is a fishbowl and felt like everyone was watching us, not exactly relaxing. There was also a lot of dead skin and hair in the spa. It really needs to be emptied and refilled. Apart from all that it is a nice location, friendly helpful staff. But make sure you abide to the rules here!
