UPDATED REPORT NEEDED

I stayed overnight at the park. The toilet block is unclean and very rough. It is freezing in winter. It is a small park by a creek with a footbridge to the local town. The manager lives on the lot in a van. There are mostly permanents and the standard is rather poor. Poor management, poor value for money. Very poor amenities, water pressure was okay, there was adequate hot water. Poor sites, sites were level, annexe slabs were available, adequate sullage close by. Poor atmosphere to park, too many permanents for this park. Dogs allowed.
Likes: It is in a quiet location.
Dislikes: There are basically no facilities: no BBQ, no play ground and no pool. The pool is closed and does not belong to the park. There was no play ground in the park.
Park Rating 2: Suitable for overnighter.

Suggest you ring the park in advance and they will give you excellent timesaving directions, plus the park fills up quickly. Good management, friendly management, management responsive to comments, management was helpful. Reasonable value for money, $25 2A per night. Average amenities, were clean, were in good condition, water pressure was okay, there was adequate hot water. Average sites, sites were level, lighting at night was adequate, drive-through sites were available, hard to negotiate in to/out of site, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Park atmosphere was okay. Suitable for a few days, the park was well maintained.
Likes: You could purchase wireless internet cards.
Dislikes: Drive through sites left you very close to your neighbours. When one of our neighbours insisted on putting out his awning, it overlapped our car and we had to walk under it to get to the ablution block. As the park fills up, it can be difficult to negotiate your departure.
Local Information: Day drive to Bright, particularly in Autumn is very rewarding.

Only a few sites here and some of them are quite small. We could only just fit in our 16' van and had to park on the roadway. Excellent location, near a major shopping centre. The highway now bypasses Albury so there is very little road noise. A very tidy little park.

Stayed 3 days, $27.70 member discount per night powered. This small tourist park is run by four family owners. We were greeted by Jenny who told us three sites were available, to pick one and let her know the number. We selected Site No. 1. Jenny gave us a map of the park, city, and information on places of interest in Albury/Wodonga and surrounds and answered all our questions. She also pointed out the closest shopping centre, restaurants, etc, which were all about 300 metres away from the resort. This is a small tourist park, comprising mainly cabins, and with only 12 caravan sites. The first night we stayed all caravan sites were taken. Although the trees were suffering from the drought, the park was neat and tidy. The amenities block was spotless with showers having their own drainage, and glass shower screens so that dry areas remained dry. There was even a bunch of floor mats available for patrons, with a sign saying to please put the dirty towels in the basket. Piped music made the whole showering experience very pleasant. Water pressure was good. The swimming pool near the large guest room was spotless. The guest room had lounge chairs, tables and chairs, a kitchen with kitchen equipment, and was very clean. There was also a spotless covered camp kitchen near the pool, with bbq and 2 electric hotplates. We found the hotplates a bit slow so used the gas hotplates in the guest room. This room was not air-conditioned and only had fans, so was very hot. The spotless laundry was small with 2 washing machines and 1 dryer. We enjoyed our stay in this park: it was spotless, reception was very friendly and helpful, and it was central to everything. What more could we want? The weekend we stayed saw the opening of the by-pass, and this would take away the highway noise in the night. Another definite plus. We would definitely return.

Likes: Management were very friendly and even give tent/campers/vans advice with regard some dangers of parking under some of the Gums and Eucalypt Trees. Camp fires were a treat and they were set around the park. Right on the banks of the Murrumbidgee River which was a treat just to watch the water roll past or to drop in a line. Short walk of less than 1 km to the main street. If we had of had our tent with us we would have stayed a lot longer than just two nights.
Dislikes: Right next to Murrumbidgee Bridge with a high flow of heavy vehicles (road trains, etc), a minor inconvenience, unless you love watching the big rigs like we do.
Parking: Parking bay next to pool.
Added Touches: Allow contained camp fires, with plenty of wood from around the park itself.
Local Information: Free entry to the Old Balranald Lockup and Outback Station School, just pick up the keys from the local Tourist Information Centre. Quaint country town with a very friendly atmosphere.

Friendly welcome. Basic stopover caravan park with acceptable facilities. Drive through grassed sites with quite a bit of shade. On the river but needs a little walk to enjoy. Good showers, only a couple of hand basins, lots of trucks in the night so not for light sleepers, the garbage truck came through the park at about six am. Good for overnighters.

Manager's name is Gay and Clinton. We were only going to stay for a week but finished staying for 2. A very tidy park with lots a green grass and plenty of river water on tap for caravaners how aren't allowed to water their lawns at home. It looks like there is around a 100 p/w sites and unknown quantity of u/p sites so we are not sure how the amenities would go if the park was fully "loaded". Lots of concrete annexe sites however they "stick-up" above the ground so you have to be really accurate when parking the van. The park put on a free BBQ on cup day which was well catered for and attended. Lots of bird life walking around. Went to use the BBQ one wasn't working (we were informed that the current gas BBQ's are going to be replaced) The only down point was that the "camp kitchen" was badly in need of a good clean (fridge deep freeze etc). Would recommend the park for any length of stay.

Manager's name is Gay and Clinton. We spent a week here and would have been happy to have stayed longer. This park had a lot of character and a lovely friendly atmosphere. The park is on the north bank of the Murray River in Buronga and looks directly across the river to the Grand Hotel in Mildura. Many sites look out over the river and the view is great - watching the paddle steamers slowly go by. There is heaps of wild life, ducks, swans geese and possums that can all be hand fed. The sites are all good with reasonable room. Most sites have slabs. It is all nicely lawned and treed. Lighting is good with little touches of fairy lights in the trees. The amenities would have to be the best we have come across - they are very clean and modern. Even hair driers are supplied. They are dog friendly. Kids would love the park because of the wild life and it also has an area with chooks (reception sells the eggs), goats and a couple of friendly horses. The pool is centrally located to everyone and is a good size and clean. Being right on the river it is good for walks along the river banks. We were there in early spring, so days were lovely but nights were cool, however, as a nice touch, the owner will give you a brassier and wood at no charge so you can sit round it at night with a glass of wine and watch the lights of the town and paddle steamers. The owners Gay and Clinton are very friendly and most helpful. There are a few permanents there but as the park is quite big it is not noticeable. This was the cheapest park we stayed at in our travels. We plan to come back here in the Autumn. Very friendly staff, staff offered tourist advice, van parking assistance provided by staff, staff explained park layout and facilities.

Self booking process was very easy to follow. You only need to fill out your paperwork, grab a map, which contains your pin code for the boom gate, and find a suitable site for yourself. The following morning we went back up to the main office to pay for and finalise our booking. The park has approx 6 amenity blocks and the one which we utilised was close to our site, very clean and in very good condition, the water pressure was good and the shower cubicles are large enough so everything doesn't get wet. There is an additional charge for the Shower of 20c which gives you approx 6 mins of lovely hot water. The park contains a lot of permanently located vans but well separated from the tourist sites. There aren't a great deal of powered tourist sites remaining (I counted approx 15 sites) so I would recommend booking in advance. The atmosphere of the park is very relaxing, both my daughters spent quite some time feeding the Kangaroos, Parrots, Rosellas, Cockatoos, Galahs and whatever else decided to venture past our annex for a free feed. The Park staff where never short of giving you a smile and a wave as they ventured past but at no time did you ever feel that they were intruding. No pets allowed. The electric bbq cost $1.00, but there are free wood bbqs that were also well located throughout the park. Most of the electric BBQ's were sheltered and lit. No pool. A large playground. Very limited TV reception and poor Mobile phone coverage.

Amenities old but very clean. Management delightful as well as very helpful. Very good value for money at $16 per night. Would definitely stay again.

Parking: Parking for check in.
Local Information: A few things to do in Deniliquin, it is within walking distance of town, which is why we chose to come here. Lovely view across the river.

We liked the atmosphere in this park which is located right on the Edward River. We selected a site on the lower section near the river which we preferred to the upper section near the amenities.

Likes: Walking distance to town, generous grassed sites, close to a pretty river and friendly management.
Dislikes: There is only one amenity block for the park resulting in a dark walk up a hill at night to the block from the sites in the lower section. Whilst there were stairs connecting the two levels they were in poor repair and very hazardous.

Managers' names are Arthur and Nella. An excellent little park with some nice added touches, including piped music in the amenities block. This town is a must for keen photographers as the lake which borders the park has wildlife and views to fill several reels of film. It's a typical small country town where you can go for evening strolls and unwind after a day's travel. Would be great for kids - especially during warmer months. Next doorto town swimming pool The lake is certainly what sets this town apart from just another small country town along a major highway. We set alarms for pre-dawn photo shoots over the lake and it was well worth the early start to the day.

We loved this park; but much of our delight may stem from the fact that we got one of the three or four riverside sites. It pays to ask for one, or to book one in advance. There are other attractive sites on concrete slabs or on grass which are appealing too. There is no doubt the proximity of the river is a main drawcard - the lawns down to the river are a pleasant place to sit in the evening. And the amenities block was very clean and fresh. Very friendly staff. Price was lower than expected, very good value for money ($24 A2 per night, powered, off-peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is very good, water pressure is good, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation, disabled facilities.

Stayed 4 days, $23.50p/n en-suite site. Reception very helpful. River sites are more expensive than normal powered sites. We had originally asked for a river site which we got ($22.50 p/n), and soon discovered our mistake. Unwittingly we had landed in the middle of Victorian school holidays and there were "millions" of kids running around the riverbank, between very tight sites, not to mention the constant noise of the ski boats. We asked reception if we could move and they were happy for us to do so. There were plenty of level, grassed and shaded sites towards the entrance of the park, closer to the swimming pool, but we settled on en-suite, site 29. En-suite facilities were reasonably clean as was the amenities block, which was unusual in that shower facilities were designed like en-suites within the ablution building, which also housed separate toilets. The camp kitchen was large, and catered well to the many families camped with children. Laundry was clean and water pressure good. Ensuite sites are very tight and hard to manoeuvre with a big van with some facing the awning while others were back to front. Our neighbouring van was 2 inches from our awning and I could hear our neighbour snoring. Felt like I was sleeping between two fellas!!. On the whole this is a very nice park, with very helpful owners. We would return again but would park closer to the entrance on grass and under trees, even though it is a little distance from the amenities block.

As Goolgowi is a very small town, signposting was quite adequate to locate park. This is a very small park but ideal for an overnight stop. New combination bathroom, toilets.

Price was as expected, good value for money ($15.00 2A per night). Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, average sized sites.

Cordial reception, layout of park explained including caution re narrow roads. Small park with about 60 sites including 20 drive-through, some of then with cabins, others ensuite. All sites had power, water and sullage and most had annexe pads, but were rather small and narrow roads made access a little difficult, especially with a larger van. There was no shade. Roads were sealed, kerbed and guttered, the sites themselves very bare and a little rough, the absence of grass explained by the severe drought and Level 5 water restrictions in the city. Amenities were spotless, although urinals in men's toilets had water turned off. Good hot water, soap and hand dryers provided. Would be adequate for visitor numbers. Showers were well designed to avoid wet floors in dressing area, with no curtains but with mop provided. A handicapped person's bathroom was available on request. Facilities include well equipped camp kitchen, several BBQs (free), games room with video machines children's playground, Internet access and toilet dump point, but no pool. No dogs permitted, other pets allowed by arrangement. Public phone at reception, good mobile phone reception. Television reception was mixed - excellent for some channels including ABC and SBS, poor on others; antennas require vertical polarity. Some basic food items at reception, service station and MacDonald's complex next door. A special feature of the park is a marvellous outdoor model railway, as the owners are obviously model railway fanatics! $26 for 2A before discount average value.
Date 11/2006. Park Rating: 3.5. Would be higher if sites were larger and there was shade. Suitable for overnight or short stay.

Stayed 3 days, $18.70p/n powered site. 2 kms east of Griffith on the Leeton Road. At first glance from the road, this park looks tired and most uninviting. It looks as if the owners have lost interest in the park. But the other park was fully booked (even though it looked empty when we drove in) so we decided to stay here. And we were not disappointed. We had planned to stay for 2 days and extended to 3 days. Diana at reception was filling in for the owners who were on holiday, and did a great job. She was very helpful and friendly and took us through the park on foot and suggested the best site for our long van. She asked if we wanted to inspect the ablutions block, but we thought we would take a chance without inspection. The site she chose was large, had shade, a long slab, was grassed and proved excellent. Cathy, the cleaner, was very proud of her ablution block and could rattle off what disinfectant or cleaner did the best job for what. And the ablution block, entered via a code, though 30 years old, had been updated and was spotless (we would "rate" it 5). There was a swimming pool near the gate, and entry to the park was via security. On site cabins were available. The park, even though it looks tired and needs garden maintenance and the planting of some more trees, was very quiet and a great place to stay. There is lots to see in Griffith, Leeton and surrounding areas. We would definitely stay in this park again, but wish the owners would spruce it up a little.

It is neat and tidy, with sufficient shade and grass, and generally level sites. Some sites are drive-through, and some (more to come) have concrete pads for the annex. All sites appeared to be of a good size. The ensuite sites have shelters over the van. Be aware that water taps for connection to 'vans are not suitable for drinking, but drinking water is available from separate taps. I did not get the chance to check out the ensuite units, but the main amenities block was clean and well presented. The shower cubicles are a little small, but a curtain helps control spray. The amenities are also close to most sites, as the park is not large. Powered site cost $24 2A, before BIG4 member discount, lower than expected and good value.

Park has more cabins and annuals than powered sites. Powered sites are situated down near the lake. They are average in size and are all concrete which makes it great for when it rains i.e. no mud. As the whole area is concrete, they have supplied stainless steel hooks in the concrete to help hold your annex or awning. Amenities are clean and modern with the showers quite large. There is a camp kitchen (fee for stoves), TV room, games room, another room with fireplace. There is also a sauna and spa for use (fee), as well as a drying room (fee) and ski repair room. Sites were reasonably priced, $35.10 per night for 2A2C after discount. Friendly management who offered some tourist advice. Walking track along lake to town. Suitable for any length of stay.

We travelled from the north on the Olympic Highway, following directions in the Top Tourist book - make sure to take the correct right turn past the railway bridge (Regent Street), and not turn too early! If coming from Wagga, veer left in the town center onto Broadway.
An absolute gem of a park, which has just been awarded "Best NSW Inland Park". Friendly, helpful, pleasant but unobtrusive management who have every reason to be proud of their establishment. We are going back to use this park as a base to explore the region. There is so much to see that you could spend an easy week at Junee.

This has got to be the best small caravan park in NSW it is outstanding in presentation and available facilities, This park is a tourist park only it has park cabins and lots of drive through sites. The owners have achieved a level of park facility that we have not seen in 45 years of caravanning. The amenities block is spotless, bath mats are provided for each user, and they are laundered after each use, hand wash soap and paper towels are also provided. The laundry was also a great setup with drying lines adjacent. The camp kitchen has a fully enclosed BBQ area with BBQ tools, spotless of course, there is also a real kitchen with electric cooker, microwave, fridge, crockery, cutlery, table and chairs, even a table cloth. The BBQ area is near the fully enclosed swimming pool. The grounds are immaculate, even the lawn edges are done. Each site has its two disposal bins, rubbish and recycle, water and power, and some good shady trees. Security is via a key system to operate the boom gates. The town of Junee has many excellent tourist attractions worth a visit, being a one time railway town the history has been faithfully restored. the Caravan park operators will gladly direct all visitors to the attractions. At $22 per night for two it is a great place to stay at,

Located beside a creek, with plenty of Pepperina trees to provide shade, this is one of those little gems of parks that one finds in small towns off the beaten track. Kept immaculate with old but clean amenities. There is nothing to keep one in Lockhart for any length of time but they sure make for a welcome R & R stop in a long trip. This park is suitable for a 1 or 2 day stop and is excellent value for money at $14.75 per night 2A powered site.

If your ideal park is nice straight roadways flanked by neat sites of a uniform shape and size then this park is not for you. The main roadway through the park meanders to and fro and each site is a different size and shape. To us this adds to the charm of the park, which is attractive and well maintained. We have stayed there on three separate occasions, on three different sites and have never had a problem getting our 25ft Heritage on site. As stated the garden beds, shrubs and trees are well maintained and the amenity blocks, whilst fairly old, are very clean and the owner/operators can be seen around the park at all times of the day and evening checking them. There is a modern camp-kitchen and also free barbecues. Free loan of a coaxial cable gives you 14 channels of TV reception including 7 pay-TV channels. The office doubles as a take-away food shop and mini-mart as well as having all the usual tourist information. Owners are friendly and helpful. It is an ideal place to stay and check out the Southern Highlands. One negative for me: the floor of the shower cubicles, both in the shower and the dressing area, is covered by blue foam matting. The probable idea is to stop slipping but I have doubts about the hygiene of such a thing. Suitable for overnight or a few days.

This park is rather cramped, and the roads themselves are narrow in places. Quite a few small cabins and onsite vans intermixed with tourist sites without adequate parking being allocated to them. Hence parking on roads can be a problem when manoeuvring larger caravans. Not all powered sites have sullage - appeared to be about 50/50. The main Sydney-Melbourne railway is a couple of hundred metres away and can be heard at night but we didn't really find this a problem. Good management, friendly management. Good value for money. Average amenities, adequate number to cater for tourists, close to sites, water pressure was okay. Average sites, sites were level, lighting at night was adequate, hard to negotiate in to/out of site, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Laundry, good camp kitchen, kiosk. Park atmosphere was okay, shady park. Clean free UC bbq. The park was well maintained.
Likes: It had a relaxed atmosphere and apart from the railway was quiet. Three amenities blocks (only one with showers) meant that all vans were close to toilets. Plenty of greenery.
Dislikes: Cabins without car parking space, difficult manoeuvring for larger vans.
Parking: Arrival parking not well signposted. There are two entrances, one from the highway and one from the side street. If you enter from the highway you need to turn right almost immediately (although that is not obvious), and should find space to park there. The office is located at the front, opening onto the highway. If you enter from the side street, there is a sign requiring a right turn and that takes you down to near the office where parking would be adequate if not plentiful.
Roads: good from both North and South.

Watch for one large speed bump. The site was relatively easy to back into as the streets are wide enough to negotiate a large rig. The area was grassed and because of water restrictions we were encouraged to drop grey water onto the garden. The park has quite a large play area near the river with its own rivers and beach. Great place to exercise the dog, but remember to bring a plastic shopping bag for the little accidents. Our poodle loved this place. There is a reasonable store there and fuel can be purchased on site. Friendly staff, van parking assistance provided by staff, staff explained park layout and facilities.

Manager's name is Lee & Sandy Dunlop. Site is a long way out of town (too far to walk). There are about 6 powered sites, stuck out the back, a fair way from the amenities block. About 100 permanents. No shade at all on powered sites, although in about 10 years the recently planted trees may provide some. The tennis court now has no fence and the pool was too dirty to use, although could be good when cleaned out. The 'driving range' is a paddock with long grass. Toilets and showers were good, clean, and spacey. All the side roads are dirt and could be very dusty or muddy depending on the weather. Management were friendly and cost was good at $18 (2A) per night. Overall not a bad site.

The park is well spaced out and big sites. The lady wasn't too friendly and when I asked her a question wasn't too helpful. Steve though took me to my site and helped me on it. I was surrounded by a group of friends who my first night stayed up talking and music til past 11 pm, I didn't complain but each night they were pretty noisier with no consideration for other guests staying in the park or near them.

We stayed in the park cabins (they're Lifestyle cabins with ensuites) and found them spacious, clean and well equipped. They have just built a new amenities block to add to / replace the older block for caravanners and campers. Can't rate them as we haven't been inside. We have stayed here on a few occasions (escaping Canberra) and find the peace of the river great. Great place for people with older kids. The riverside walk is also a cycle path, which leads to the 30km Lacmalac ride (details at the Old Butter Factory / Tourist Bureau.)

Park is very spread out with average size sites. There are lots of trees which would give plenty of shade in summer, but with lots of leaves in winter. Some sites are close to amenities and all are relatively flat. A lot of sites are situated on the river bank, making it a good walk to the toilets. There are three amenities block. One was quite new and situated far over in one corner away from the majority of the park, where as the other two amenities blocks were more centrally located to the majority of the sites. They were quite old and could do with refurbishing, as well as a good clean, as there are so many cobwebs and mould growing on the ceiling and walls, along with the ground-in dirt. Half the toilets were closed and had out of order signs on them in the ladies toilet. We stayed here for three days and their idea of cleaning was to squirt some blue toilet cleaner in the bowl and leave it there until somebody used the toilet to flush it away. They didn't even bother emptying the garbage bins or picking up any leaves or rubbish off the floor. We did not use the newer amenities block because it was situated a long long long way away from where our site was. There is a basic playground in average condition. Washing machines were quite cheap at $2 a load. There is a sign in the Laundry asking that the laundry be kept clean but they haven't bothered to keep the wall and ceilings clean as they are dirty with cobwebs and lots of wasp nests. Because the park is on the river, you would have to watch young children very carefully as the river flows very fast, as well as being freezing. The grounds were relatively tidy, but during winter they are covered with leaves. There was a basic camp kitchen with free gas BBQ's as well as an "open air" TV room which no doubt would get very little use, especially in winter. It is basically a carport with chairs and a TV. This could be a very nice park if the amenities were cleaned properly. We paid $28 for 2A 2C per night for a powered site.
Date 05/2006. Park Rating 2: Suitable for an overnighter (longer if the amenities were cleaned properly!).

Stayed 3 days, $20.00p/n powered site, with returnable boom gate fee. Reception very helpful and friendly. We asked for a site by the river and were allocated site 4, which was a large, level, grassed site with little shade, but suited us fine. This is a Council park with cabins and caravan sites situated around a big oval. We were some distance from the nearest ablutions block (with laundry), which was old with average cleanliness. Another small block near reception was very old and while the ladies had passable cleanliness, Leszek said that the men's needed a good scrub, so he only went there once. He preferred to walk to the other side of the oval. Another new block had been built at the far end of the park, turning right from reception. This was brick and was spotless. There are lots of cabins in this park but look well maintained, many of them new. There is an under cover TV area near the entrance because tv reception is very snowy. Laundry was clean and water pressure good. There were lots of wonderful large shady sites near the river when driving to the right of reception (near the spotless new block) but some sites had power and water, while others did not. A bit confusing. We had virtually no traffic noise, mainly because the river was running very swiftly and we were parked 3 feet from the river. Also, we were woken up early every morning to the prolific birdlife. Just wonderful! Beats waking up to an alarm clock!! This park accepts dogs, and while dogs were no problem in the smaller parks we had visited (probably because they were more visible), it was unfortunate that here we saw a few people take their dogs for a walk in the central large grassed oval area and then pretended that they did not see the dog leave a mess. There was no swimming pool in this park but there was a good bbq area. We had a few possums visit us looking for fruit, so with the birds, possums and fast running river and lovely views, we were in a magical spot. We would return but for longer.

Report submitted by E & A C, NSW.

My first reaction was not to stay here, as the entrance did not look very inviting, but, as we only intended to stay a couple of days and it was within walking distance of the shopping area, we booked in. We were very surprised at the price - $22 for 2A 2C per night. Sites are decent in size and all level with most having a concrete slab. Unfortunately there wasn't much grass around a number of sites. There were two amenities blocks, both central to all sites. One was closed as it was quiet and the main block had just finished having a major maintenance clean. The inside was quite modern and extremely clean. Soap and hand dryers supplied. The shower cubicles are very large and bigger than some ensuites we have stayed in. There was no pool, camp kitchen or rec room, but there were BBQ's and they were very clean. The park is situated beside the Murrumbidgee River and next to the Wagga Beach. There is a small basic playground in average condition.

Stayed 3 days, $22.00p/n powered site (were only going to stay 2 days). Charles, the owner, was very helpful. He told us that with our sized van, we would be better selecting our own site, and suggested a drive-through. It was a bit difficult manoeuvring the narrow roads in this old park, but we travelled slowly and chose a level grassed drive-through site with no shade, a short distance from the amenities block. Other sites were of various sizes, some with slabs and some with lots of shade. Neat cabins were dotted throughout the park. The central amenities block had recently been totally refurbished and was spotless. The laundry still required work but was clean and water pressure was good. Another block further up the park was in the process of refurbishment. There was no pool, a small playground, under cover bbq area, and entry to the park was via a security key. Charles drove through the park regularly and kept vacant sites watered, to help the grass. This quiet park, located on the river, is within walking distance to town and is a great park. We would definitely stay again. Lots to see in Wagga, and we were amazed at how the city had grown.
