Very decent, good bathrooms, nice kitchen - but busy, but that’s okay when you have a campervan with kitchen with you, otherwise it would be pretty annoying. Very nice view and a very short distance to many walks in the national park and also the crossing if you don’t want to do a long drive before and after the crossing!

Great site with powered and unpowered sites. Mainly on level grass. Camping allowed. Facilities are clean but old. Shower hot and strong! Owner friendly and answers phone if not there. Dump Station is right outside main gate on Racecouse Road and Potable water is nearby or on site. Other campers were friendly, chatty especially in the large kitchen. Minimum road/rail noise.
We had a great experience at this Holiday Park. The kitchen is the best we had on our trip : very warmful with all the equipments you need and lot of different spaces to cook. Usual showers were closed for maintenance but we had shower in the lodge where it was great, hot water even late. The place is very quiet and you can go hiking departing from the holiday park which was very convenient. The WiFi works very well.
I was speechless. It is steep but still okay. It is in the middle of nowhere and there is nothing there either. The view could not be seen because there were trees everywhere. We were the only ones there until a strange man on a motorcycle regularly rode up and down the mountain from 5 a.m. onward. There was no sign that camping is allowed or prohibited (but we also only arrived in the middle of the night, it could be that we missed the sign). There were large moths and insects everywhere.
