The Badgers site is great and we really appreciate the reports for when we are travelling to a new area. (October 2009)
We've just driven from Melbourne to Katherine and home through Western Australia. As usual, I checked out the caravan park reports site and printed off reports on parks I thought we want to stay in. Such a great help and made selecting a caravan park so much easier. Thanks again for your website. (October 2009)
Have used it (the website) for many years as a reference before a caravan trip. (October 2009)
We use your website a lot when finding places to stay, so it's good value for us. (October 2009)
Congratulations on creating such a great site. (Caravan Park Operator, Sept 2009)
We use your site every time we travel, it is the best way to get an accurate view of places to stay (or not). Thankyou for providing this service to all of us happy wanderers. (Sept 2009)
I imagine you would recieve a number of comments from Campsite Operators that are, shall we say, hard to take. I wanted to counter-balancve that by saying a huge Thank You to you for putting in the time and trouble that it takes to host a website like this. I am considering a trip to the Kimberleys around this time next year and have already found that just a half-hour's browsing has been just SO worthwhile. (Sept 2009)
We use your site EVERY town we go to - have been on the road for a year now. (July 2009)
Keep up the good work, its a great site. (July 2009)
Thanks for a great and very informative site. My wife and I are full time Grey Nomads and refer to your reports constantly. Keep up the great work. Thanks Again. (June 2009)
Congatulations on your site, what a helpful tool this is. (Park Managers, June 2009)
Thanks very much for your website. It has been very useful to me since I started caravanning two years ago and now I feel sufficiently confident in my knowledge of caravan parks to submit my first report. (June 2009)
Thank you for your efforts with this site I use it religiously with great success while travelling as we carry a laptop and mobile modem which is well worth the effort, will submit some more reports shortly on some other parks we found more pleasant during our recent trip because the reports were available on your site. (May 2009)
Thank you SOOO much for keeping this site - we use it 3-4 times a week to decide where we're to stay so are very happy to contribute! (April 2009)
By the way, love this site, it is the best thing ever and when I was telling people about it at a party one night they all wanted the link so good job. (April 2009)
Thank you for your quick response Gerard and if any more of these types of reports are submitted to you could you please email them to me so I can at least give the other side to the story. (From park operator who queried a report of his park. February 2009)
Have come across a few people that use this site on our last couple of trips - so you are appreciated! (January 2009)
You provide the best info on parks (with a bit of help from the travelling public), so ... keep up the good work on your voluntary website. (October 2008)
Thank you very much for a great site. We found it so useful while we were planning and travelling. I have submitted reports for the parks we stayed at during our 3 months trip. However, next time we travel, I will submit as we go or take report sheets so that I can be a bit more specific with detail. (October 2008)
Great site is Badgers site. Helps tremendously when planning to stay in caravan parks. Well done. (October 2008)
Good luck and keep up the great work you are doing with this site. It certainly is a huge help for those who are travelling around this big wide beautiful country of ours. At least with this you do get different views from different people and there needs at different times. Caravan parks can tend to change very quickly in conditions and the cost. We must say though that most are very good. You do get the odd one that just doesn't want to be there or know you. Makes you wonder why they are in this business. (August 2008)
Much appreciate all the work you do - it is very well followed by our industry! (State Manager, Caravan Park Chain, July 2008)
Your database is a great idea and is of immense value to caravanners. (June 2008)
Hope you can maintain the interest, as it is a site I use and recommend regularly. (June 2008)
Keep up the marvellous work. (May 2008)
We find the reports on your website to be invaluable and believe we should do our bit to support you. (May 2008)
Many thanks for all your work on the site, really appreciated. (May 2008)
I have been using your site for some time now, and it's been brilliant, hasn't failed me yet!! Sorry I haven't been returning the favour but intend on doing so from now on, our next trip away is June long weekend. Thanks again, and happy camping. (May 2008)
Thanks for your response Gerard, we are home for a while now. Having operated a park for 15 years before retiring in 2000 I value such a site and look forward to offering objective appraisals. (April 2008)
We have just embarked on an eight month around Australia trip and in many cases have used your reports extensively when deciding what parks to stay in. We would like to return the favour to keep the website up to date so that others can benefit from our experience. (March 2008)
Just found this site - looks an excellent idea. We travel for months each year - will send reports. (March 2008)
Just adding my thanks to your long list of happy Website users. It is so helpful to read what other campers thought about a place. (March 2008)
Congratulations on the informative site, we use it a lot, I have just introduced my husband to it now that he has retired, as there is a wealth of information here. Kind regards, and keep up the good work. (March 2008)
Having discovered how useful your site is when selecting from a multitude of parks in the next town, I decided I should put something back. Therefore I have started contributing. Having just received a 'Thank You' for my latest offering, I would like to thank YOU for all the effort you put in. It's much appreciated. (February 2008)
Thanks for maintaining the site. We find it really useful and try to contribute from each of our stays. (January 2008)
Thank you for your innovative web site. We have recently retired and will be heading off soon on an extended holiday to South Australia. I stumbled on the site quite by accident and it has been a tremendous tool in planning the trip. We look forward to contributing our reports when we return. Thanks again for this great service to the caravanners and campers of Australia. (January 2008)
Just wanted to say thanks for your website. Based solely on reviews from your site, we just had a great 5-night stay in the [caravan park], Eden. It's a nice feeling knowing that the place you have just booked to stay in unsighted has received such good reviews from previous holiday makers. Just one less thing to worry about when setting off on a relaxing holiday. (January 2008)
I would like to thank you for putting a hell of a lot of work into consolidating this web site for the benefit of all caravanners. (December 2007)
This site is fantastic and has been great for ideas of places to stay. (November 2007)
Thank you, Badger for having an excellent and valuable site. Good on you! (November 2007)
I would like to thank you for this site I find it really useful in deciding where to stay. So far most of the reports have been quite accurate at parks that we have stayed at. (October 2007)
Quite a website you are running here. Thanks in advance for the information provided and wishing you well with maintaining your site. (September 2007)
Keep up the good work, excellent web site and a valuable source of information. (September 2007)
We would like to say that your site is tremendous and a great help for greenhorns like myself. (September 2007)
Just happened on your website and find it very interesting and helpful to travellers. (August 2007)
Thanks for your continuing efforts - greatly appreciated. (August 2007)
Thank you for your patience with novices like me. You are doing a great job! (August 2007)
Found you site very interesting and helpful. (February 2007)
Thank you for such an informative site. Your site is at the top of our 'Favorites'. (November 2006)
Google found me your site on page 1 under the search "caravan parks western australia". Congratulations on a very valuable service. When I eventually get back on the road you can be sure that I'll "do my bit" by adding to the reports. Keep up the good work. (November 2006)
Keep up the great work and website. (November 2006)
Thanks for your on-going work on this site - is of great value! (October 2006)
I think this website is great as I am doing some research for our trip to Tassie & the reviews are invaluable. Keep up the good work. (October 2006)
I appreciate what you do. I wish we had known about this before we left, as we relied on brochures as to where we stayed. (September 2006)
I have been following your site for a couple of years and have found it interesting to check places we are intending to go and also to compare other people's opinions with my own about various parks. (September 2006)
Thank you for your most useful web site. (August 2006)
What a Great Site!!! I have only just been advised of your site and I am very impressed. (August 2006)
I find your site very helpful when we are travelling and hope you keep up the good work. (August 2006)
Thanks for all your work - is most valuable! (August 2006)
Thanks for the quick response. I appreciate the time you've spent to write back to me explaining the situation. Like you state I thought the free text I typed would have appeared as is. Maybe next time I'll submit a report in the other format. Having read your response we all should be very grateful for the time and effort you and others put into it. It is a very handy tool when checking out parks to stay at. The way you have dealt with my email reflects highly on the integrity and honesty of yourself and the web site and I'll surely recommend it to others. (In response to contributor querying why his report appeared different to what he had sent. (August 2006)
This is a fantastic web site. My wife and I are about to head off for a caravanning holiday and this site has been invaluable for our planning. (July 2006)
I just love this site. Do you REALLY realise the number of people you help. This was a very giving idea that you had. Thank you once again. Stay healthy. (July 2006)
Thank you. It is good that you are providing this service and I have been making use of it to determine places to stay on our proposed trip. I will print out more forms and as I travel round will try to update. (June 2006)
Thanks for this prompt report. We appreciate your courtesy. (From caravan park operator, May 2006)
We are in the process of planning a trip from Dalyellup WA to Canberra ACT in August this year for a period of 3 months. Have found your site very helpful in deciding what parks to stop at along the way. Many thanks. (May 2006)
Thankyou for your action on my request, credit to you. Keep up the good work with the web site. (From park operator who queried a report of his park. April 2006).
Keep up the good work. You have developed arguably the most useful single resource for Aussie travellers with this marvellous website. (April 2006)
Let me take this opportunity to congratulate you on an excellent service you are providing for us caravan travellers. Since retiring 18 months ago we have done quite a lot of touring and we have used your caravan reports as our guidelines for finding good caravan parks. We have not gone wrong following the reports. Keep up the good work. (March 2006)
Thanks for a great site. (November 2005)
... it is so difficult to obtain unbiased, recent and accurate reports on Australia's caravan parks. Keep up your good work. Your site is magnificent. (November 2005)
You provide a great service, and I've made use of it on a number of occasions; the information has been invaluable in helping me to decide where to stay. (October 2005)
G'day just found your site. Certainly beats any of the motoring organisations directories. Interesting reading the reports on the same park isn't it - we all have different perceptions and expectations. Thank you for organising such an informative site. (October 2005)
I was complaining that star ratings only show how many features a park has not how clean or friendly they are, then I found your site and its exactly what we need!!!!! Well done. (July 2005)
I believe your website is fantastic and I will be pleased to participate in helping to keep it that way. (April 2005)
The famous "Badgers" is a great service to the caravanners. (March 2005)
Thank you for a great resource, and we look forward to supporting you with more reports in the future. (March 2005)
What a great idea. Thanks for putting this website together. (March 2005)
Wish I had discovered this site before. Keep up the good work. (February 2005)
The reports are extremely useful and used by lots of caravanners. It's a pleasure to help and contribute to your effort. Once again thanks for your effort on behalf of caravanners. We tell lots of vanners about the website. (February 2005)
Your reports are more accurate than AAA's and as we are now on the road full time are very helpful. (February 2005)
Just a quick word to compliment you on your web site. My wife and I are keen caravanners but for a number of reasons we have been unable to get our van on the road for a few years. I check your site regularly and find the reports on parks a valuable resource and am constantly entertained by them. We will commence caravanning again soon and will rely on your reports for our accommodation. (February 2005)
What a wonderful informative site. What a wealth of information for caravanners like us. Much better and truer than the NRMA books or even the BIG4 or Tourist Park booklets (although I am sure they give the best information they can). But a truer picture is given by your reporters who have stayed at a caravan site and have been moved to write to you. Every best wish with your website - it is just brilliant - and I will be sure to take your web address on the road and let other caravanners know who to write to if they have a gripe (or best of all if they are happy with a caravan site). (January 2005)
We are just starting caravanning and find it of great assistance to look up these reports before staying. (January 2005)
Just wanted to say good on you!! It is a fine service you provide. (June 2004)
Thank you! Along with a lot of other people we really appreciate the work and time you put into your caravan park reports. (June 2004)
Thanks Badger for the efforts of you and your team - keep up the good work. (June 2004)
Thank you for your efforts in keeping this site going. (June 2004)
Thanks for a great service. Appreciate your efforts. (February 2004)
... thank you again and again for the time and effort you put into making it so much easier for those who treat your site and the reports pretty much as gospel. We don't go anywhere without first looking at the reports for the towns on our trip and I usually print them out and take them with us - beats the hell out of the magazines and the NRMA. (January 2004)
Whilst I accessed your site not to plan a holiday but for business reasons, I must congratulate you on producing a great guide to caravan parks in the country. My goal is to ensure newspapers are available wherever there may be customers and I needed information about the number of parks north of Brisbane and the facilities available. To get non-biased opinions from people that actually stayed there rather than from the park owner telling you how great their park is, was terrific. Come holiday time I'll return to plan my trip. Well done. (November 2003)
Love the site - it's well and truly about time consumers had input !!! (October 2003)
Just a short note to say how thankful we are for your reports. (October 2003)
