    After reading previous reviews, my expectations were low, but this place completely surprised me. A real hidden gem! Older facilities, but clean, well maintained, and much better equipped than expected: kitchen, showers, laundry, BBQ, dump station and more. Great value for solo travellers ($25 powered site), though note pricing is per person, not per site. Friendly atmosphere, good phone reception. Some highway/train noise, but it didn’t bother me. Would happily stay again!

    Arrived at this campsite as it said 15$ on the advertisement but the lady working there was asking 50$ for 2 people for 1 night on a powered site. Showers included but more than I’d like to pay.

    Lovely little camp ground!! 16 dollars pp for unpowered. Yes, the kitchen is dated looking but it's quite charming and very clean. 2 ovens with hobs, microwave, boiling water tap and drinking water. The showers were piping hot! Absolutely delightful on a cold morning. The live-in host was a very welcoming and friendly lady. Make sure to bring cash as they don't accept card payments. There is noise from the road and a rare train passing but we slept soundly! Can recommend! :)

    We stayed here for 1 night in our camper. $36 unpowered or $40 powered. Amenities are clean (just outdated but no issues), there are showers with good pressure and hot water and also a washing machine at $3 per wash. We didn’t use the communal kitchen area so can’t comment other than by the looks through the window looks outdated but seemed popular with other campers.

    Facilities are not the most updated but they’re all very clean! I parked off to the side and had access to the kitchen and bathrooms super easily. A train goes by at some point but it didn’t bother me. Very secluded and quiet!

    Very old but clean super spacious place. Hot showers with unlimited time are top. Kitchen and common room with all amenities (dishes, cuttlery, stove, hot watter) can be used by everyone. Just the trains are loud.

    Very clean place but frankly the worst place that we went so far . Terrible night sleep with the road traffic all the night long and the train at 2.30 am .. The way the owners were is like being spy by a police man .. Not ideal for your holiday break

    We had a one night stay as we needed to power up for the night. The park is well kept and although toilets & showers are old they were really clean. The shower was lovely and hot with good pressure. There is rubbish and recycling plus a lovely kitchen, family and dining room if needed. The custodians were helpful and friendly but the phone numbers on here ring the council and not them and they don’t get told or us for that matter so they had no idea we were coming in? There's a change of price for powered site, they have been asking for the info to be updated from the council but not happened yet. We would definitely stay here again?
