$130 for a couple in a basic (deluxe) demountable cabin which has a sagging bed is over the top in my view. We were probably unfortunate in that 2 cabins beside ours were occupied by workers who chose that night to celebrate outside their cabin till late. There was no supervision by owner or management so the noise went unchecked.... More

We stayed one night on first night of our big QLD road trip. We stayed in a "deluxe" cabin. It was quite small with no outside area to sit other than the car space. There were two chairs but no table. We had to use the back of the car to sit our drinks and nibblies. The bed was quite... More

Good park, friendly managers and nice cabins but that's about where it ended for me. The issue that I have is about the parks pricing. The parks website has one price however on checking says another price. I am sure this is in appropriate and I an going to ask some question to the office of fair trading queensland. When... More

Stayed at the park overnight in one of the on site cabins. The cabin was very clean and tidy the lady at reception was very helpful when asking where the best places to eat in Roma where. Defiantly worth the stop if travelling through Roma.

Passing through Roma and stayed for 1 night. Choose the Big Rig as it was pet friendly (pets not allowed inside the cabins). Was a little shocked at the price but the cabin was well presented on the outside and clean/tidy & nice on the inside. Make sure you book well in advance as nearly every night is booked out.... More

As it was just a stopover each time, we were able to get a drive through site and stay hitched to the car for a quick start the following morning. The first night we walked along... More

We recently stayed in a caravan site overnight. The sites are compact and need an upgrade, the roads that side the park are busy although it wasn't too noisy. The toilets and showers were clean and tidy, although they too needed some care and attention.
