We stayed three nights in a cabin that was clean and tidy. The pool was very relaxing after the hot days and large enough to not trip over other people. The shop was conveniently located and we didn't notice any road noise.

We stayed for 2 nights on an ensuite site. The decor was a little old but was clean. The site was quite level. We arrived late and the lady at checkin was very accommodating. The kids loved the pool and jumping pillow. The only problem was the ponding of water on the site between the ensuite and slab.

This campground is behind a petrol station and we were surprised that we did not hear any noise. We stayed in a cabin, which was comfortable and tidy. Not much space for the car though. The pool is next to the main highway so we didn't use it. The BBQ area was nice and tidy. Overall a nice campground with... More

The par is located on University Road, next to a motel and has a big sign outside - so easy to recognize. Nice clean showers and toilets, clean cabin. Don't really hear the road noise. Staff - polite, location - convenient right next to petril station and the roadhouse is open 24/7. Close to town too.

We are a couple travelling around south east asia and australia for 5 months. The staff were polite and helpful showing us a map of the area as the site is about 15 -20 minutes drive away from Townsvilles attractions. The site itself is located behind a petrol station off the main highway. Benefits included a discount on the petrol... More

We booked on line and were most surprised to find that the park was behind a busy roadhouse. However we were not disturbed by the noise at all which really surprised us. The front of the park is for travellers and is well set out with concrete slabs for caravans and normal power, sullage etc. the bathroom facilities are older... More

This was out third caravan park on our trip from Cairns to Brisbane in a motor home. And only our second Big4. It was a bit of a shock at first, being that I am more a resort style girl, but after we settled in I'll admit it wasn't as bad as I has first thought. This is the kind... More

My family and I stayed here in August 2011. We stayed in a family cabin. Having stayed in a couple of these parks around Australia, we found this to be fine. The kids had a ball in the pool, the jumping pillow and riding the go carts around the park. I did encounter a rude man that worked there, but... More

We stayed here for 2 nights over the June Long Weekend & we had no problems with our accommodation or the staff. Rooms were clean & tidy, grounds were tidy & well presented. When it was time to check in/out there were 2 staff members on each time so we didn't have to wait for those buying petrol.

This is by far the worst Big 4 site we stayed at during our trip down the East Coast. The whole site looked unkept and the facilities awful, the "camp kitchen" was a joke, it consisted of an old electric cooker and sink unit with two garden picinic tables one of which was soaking wet as there was only a...
