with large mature trees for shelter. The kitchen with dining area included, is functional and clean, there are also BBQ tables outside. Ablutions are all older but still clean, and include disability facilities. There are automatic machines in the laundry and a dump point, a separate building houses a functional TV lounge and internet. Free electric BBQs and picnic tables dot the grounds, and eftpos and email are available at the office. The newer section of the camp has been purpose built and includes both gravel and grass spacious sites, with sumps and water taps at each. There are ablution blocks only here at the moment, both brand new, clean and modern. The adjacent domain includes a swimming pool,
tennis courts, a miniature railway and a railway museum. Along the road is a vintage car museum and a golf course backs onto the park. Your hosts are Paul and Carolyn.
