Local Information: Easy return walk to the Adelong Falls approx 2-3km which starts at the park and leads you through the old gold fields and ruins of the gold mining era. Many other local attractions as well all within walking distance.

Managed by Ex Services Club. Great little park, nestled beside Adelong Creek. Only 6 powered sites all with concrete pads. Plus 6 modern cabins. Manager John no longer at the club, staff friendly but somewhat casual. No caretaker on site. Friendly staff, average staff response to complaints. Reasonable value for money ($17.00 2A per night, powered). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, sites will accommodate small to medium vans, annex slabs to most sites, shade to most sites, adequate taps close by. Basic laundry, no rec room, no camp kitchen, van parking, no wireless internet available. Peaceful, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, a few permanents. Electric bbq (free), seating provided at bbq. No playground, no pool. Suitable for few days.
Likes: It's setting, very beautiful in Autumn. I booked for one week and stayed extra time; so did others. More suited to older caravanners because of creek danger to small children.
Dislikes: Didn't dislike, but amenities block in poor state. Town suffered badly last October with floods and some tiles missing, walls could also do with a paint. Taps leaking etc. Park owned by Tumut Council, and club says any repairs sent onto them. But clearly nothing happens.
Parking: Park sign still refers to caretaker who is no longer there. Can be confusing. Parking o.k. with walk across bridge to club to book in. Sites can take bigger rigs, but a bit of a fiddle.
Local Information: Two hotels in town with meals etc. plus club has a Chinese restaurant. Also up market Beaufort House which offers good dining. Good day trips to Tumut, Gundagai, Tumbarumba, Kosciuszko National Park. Used by overnighters going to Canberra and Victoria
Roads: Good bitumen roads throughout

Likes: Open layout. In the middle of Albury. We listened to the New Years Eve concert from the adjoining showgrounds and enjoyed the midnight fireworks.
Dislikes: Blasé attitude when booking in. We were told there were plenty of sites near the amenities - which there were except the power outlets and water were far apart making it difficult to access both. The park is next to the main railway line so expect noise from trains at night. Toilet paper jammed in dispenser. Cleaning of amenities started at 8am and finished about 9.15am.
Parking: Plenty of room.
Local Information: In the middle of Albury and handy to everything.

Manager's name is Dawn. A somewhat tired park in need of a little TLC. Shop is devoid of any stock. Apparently owners have recently had to repossess the park and are looking to sell. We spent a fortnight here and enjoyed our stay. Friendly staff, staff offered tourist advice. Good value for money ($30 2A per night, powered, off-peak season). We paid $27 because we asked for a discount for a week's stay. Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to most sites, condition is good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided, dry change area, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes or 5th wheelers, annex slabs to some sites, most sites are shaded, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Good laundry, no rec room, basic camp kitchen, late checkout allowed, dump point, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Optus, reception quality was 5). Peaceful, open and roomy, plenty of shade, a few permanents. Clean UC gas bbq (free), bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. Basic playground in average condition. Clean pool, heated, tables and chairs provided, toddlers catered for. Suitable for families.
Likes: Plenty of space, not crammed in at any site. Plenty of shade. Peaceful and quiet despite the time of year. Probably due to current ownership situation.
Dislikes: Dump point is too far away from sites
Local Information: Great base from which to explore the High Country and nearby towns Beechworth, Myrtleford etc.

Report submitted by Henry Crun (4).

Selected this park to stay overnight, based on previous report on Badgers. On checking in, reception could not find my booking, which was done by phone the previous day. However I was offered an ensuite drive through. Offered two choices, old ensuite at $30/night or new ensuite at $40/night. Opted for new ensuite, although thought price was too high. On a walk around the park, glad I opted for new ensuites. Could not see inside old ensuite units, but I would have been severely disappointed if I had selected the older ensuites. The entire park looks run down, the only redeeming feature being the new ensuite units, which are clean & modern. Could not find anything that looked like a camp kitchen, BBQ, games room was locked and obviously not in use. Hot water was ok, but water pressure just adequate. Friendly staff. Poor value for money ($40 2A per night, ensuite, off-peak season). Amenities were clean, condition is very good, water pressure is bad, there was adequate hot water. Basic laundry, no rec room, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 4). Quiet, open & roomy park, plenty of shade. Basic playground. Dirty pool. Suitable for overnighter.
Dislikes: After 10 weeks away, from Melbourne to Cairns & back via west Qld, and S Qld coast, this was the most expensive, and the least impressive park we stayed at.

Report submitted by ROKE (14).

There is a large sign on Wagga Road but you need to look for Albury City Gate and not the previous name, Trek31. We only stayed the one night but were impressed with this friendly and clean park. It was previously called Trek 31 and this recent name change confused us a little. It is now the Albury Citygate. We had an ensuite site which was new and luxurious. $35 per night 2A powered. The lady at reception was friendly and advised they may soon be affiliated with a group. Pets are OK according to the sign out the front. We were supplied with a TV cable. Park is in a park like setting with plenty of shade and set back from the road so there is minimal noise.

Report submitted by G&P Flagstaff Hill SA (22).

Manager's name is Steve & Kim Pearce. We've been staying at this caravan and camping park for the last nine years and were really worried that it was getting a bit tired. However, the kids loved the large pool and spacious grounds where they can ride their bikes all day and we all enjoyed the surrounding attractions and shopping. It made this a great place to chill out after the Christmas mayhem! This year we were pleasantly surprised. The new managers have made lots of positive improvements like rejuvenating the playground, painting all the BBQ shelters, installing new ensuite sites and ensuring the pool is sparkling every day. There were also some extras like pool toys to amuse the kids, New Year's Eve gathering around the BBQ for both permanents and tourists and the beginnings of a great games and gym room. Although it was very quiet because all the cabins have been removed, we have re-booked again for Christmas/New Year 2010 because when the cabins are rebuilt and more people discover this haven, it may be hard to get a site! Thoroughly recommend it as a stopover place on your way between Melbourne and Sydney or for longer stays to enjoy local attractions like Rutherglen, Beechworth and the Hume dam and parks. Very friendly staff, good staff response to complaints, staff explained park layout and facilities. Very good value for money ($40 2A 2C per night, powered, peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to most sites, were clean, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation, disabled facilities. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, concrete annex slabs to some sites, shade to most sites, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Good laundry, good rec room, late checkout allowed, good camp kitchen, disabled facilities, dump point, van parking, no wireless internet available, you can use your mobile wireless (reception quality was 5). Quiet, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, a few permanents. Clean UC bbq (free), congenial bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. Basic playground in good condition. Clean heated pool, kid-safe pool area, tables and chairs provided, toddlers catered for. Suitable for a week or more, suitable for families.
Likes: The park is centrally placed in a region with lots of local attactions and things to do for both adults and children. It has a large, clean pool with grassed and treed area around it. There is plenty of space for the children to run and ride around. The permanents are friendly.
Dislikes: A bit quieter now that the cabins have temporarily been removed (less children around the pool to entertain and play with our own children). It would be great if the BMX track is restored or a skate/bike area installed.
Parking: Use separate lane and park near the office and book inbefore proceeding.
Added Touches: Informal, free BBQ on New Years Eve. Pool toys (noodles, balls) provided. Free fruit at the office. Great book swap at the office.
Local Information: Great shopping centre just down the road in Lavington or a bit further in Albury. Local attactions include the Hume Dam, Rutherglen Wineries, Ettamougah Pub, Beechworth
Roads: Roads are great - particularly because there is an exit off the Hume Freeway about a kms from Trek 31.

Stayed 2 nights, $26.10 per night with Top Tourist discount. Located on the Wagga Road (old Hume Hwy) near Rivers Factory outlet, and across the road from Hungry Jack's. This small tourist park is run by four family owners. We were greeted by the lovely Jenny. I asked her if she had any large sites or drive-through sites available and she allocated us Site No. 35, a drive-through with some shade, no slab. Jenny provided us with a map of Albury, pointing out sites of interest. She said we must go and see the weir because it was only 17% full this time last year and is full at the moment and a sight to behold. And it was just lovely. . She also pointed out the closest shopping centre, restaurants, etc, which were all about 300 m away from the park. This is a small tourist park, comprising mainly cabins, and with only 12 caravan sites. 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. 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. The Guest Room was not air-conditioned and only had fans. There is a very small children's playground. The spotless laundry was small with 2 washing machines ($3) and 1 dryer. We had stayed here in 2007 and found the park excellent but noisy with all the trucks passing through Albury. The new by-pass highway was opened the day we left, so we were sure that this park would benefit from less passing heavy traffic. And we were right and glad that we had returned. This is such a quiet, peaceful spotless park, with very helpful reception, and we would most certainly return again. It had everything we wanted.

Report submitted by Barbara and Peter Cox (19).

We stayed in a delux riverside cabin for one night as heavy rain was expected and our camper trailer doesn't cope well with lots of rain. The cabin had obviously not been used for some time as there were mouse and cockroach droppings everywhere, including the bed. I swept them up and removed the soiled bed linen. I should have complained but was just too tired. The mice were active during the night. Their scampering and squeaking made for a very disturbed night's sleep. I typed this report at 4.00am and during saw mice and a frog. Not the wildlife experience I wanted. Even without the mice the cabin was generally shabby with broken fittings and a poorly maintained feel to it. I think camping here or staying in a caravan would be ok. Poor value for money ($93 2A, cabin).

Kay and Greg, owners of the park are very friendly and welcoming. Kay explained the local attractions and Greg escorted us to the site and directed us in. All sites have concrete slabs level with grass – perfect. The park is next to the Murray River with access for fishing. Ask for the site behind the camp kitchen (the best) – looking out to the river surrounded by tall gum trees. The combined toilets and showers block were spotlessly clean. There is a large camp kitchen, plenty of chairs and tables, log fire and laundry. Digital TV channels available, there is good telephone and internet coverage (Telstra), water pressure is good, dump point. Few annual cabins, but didn't seem busy.
Likes: Well run park with a lovely relaxing atmosphere, very well maintained and clean amenities. Suitable for a long stay.
Local Information: Walks from the park include the lakes and red gum tree sculptures. Short walk to shops and Barham Club. Lovely golf courses at Barham and Cohuna to play.

This is a delightful park, very well maintained, with manicured grounds right beside the Murray River. In fact there is a number of sites right on the bank under the river red gums. There is plenty of shade in the tourist section of the park. Bear in mind that this park, like many along the river has a large number of onsite vans & during holidays & other special events this is definitely not the place to be if you want a quiet stay. This is a very pleasant town & has a large club as a child of the club boom years ago. Just over the river in Vic is a large fruit packing shed who sell at the door whatever is being packed, i.e. grapefruit & citrus. Not far away is Kerang.

FPA park with Murray River frontage, a 20 minute walk into town. Some annual vans, but the park is very neat and tidy. Modern, clean and well maintained amenities. BBQ undercover, swimming pool and excellent camp kitchen. Water supply is unfiltered from the river, so no good for drinking or washing clothes. There is a tank beside the amenities that has filtered river water/rain water for drinking water, but it doesn't taste good so we bought bottled water. Cost was $22 for a powered site for 2A. Good spot for a few days.

UPDATED REPORT NEEDED

Very big park. Generally everywhere is very dusty with dusty sites obviously caused by the lack of rain in the area. This park would be ideal for family get togethers and is really aimed at families. Lots of activities for the kids. The amenities were old and needed an overhaul. Probably not suited for the nomads wanting to stay only a day or two. Need to take plenty of supplies due to its distance from Albury or Holbrook. Average staff friendliness. $32 2A per night, powered, shoulder season. Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to only some sites, cleanliness was average, condition is poor, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided. Adequate number of tourist sites, poor night lighting, very few sites are shaded, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by. Quiet, open & roomy park, not enough shade. Suitable for a week or more, suitable for families.
Likes: A great lake within walking distance. Only at 18% of its capacity but we took some great pics at sunset. Can kayak and fish on it but launching ramp is about 500m from lake.
Dislikes: Too large and dusty

Previous reviews are so accurate. This is a lovely grassy park with some sites directly on the river, where you can watch the paddleboats pass by and the sunset with lights sparkling on the water. The park is very well run, with small garden statues, fairies and meerkats popping up all over the place. The bushes and rose arches have solar lights which look magically at night time. Excellent value at $22.90 (with FP discount) per night. Suitable for a long stay. The large combined toilets and showers block were spotlessly clean, with soap, paper towels, hand cream, stoppers and wipe-down cloths for each basin. There is a large camp kitchen, laundry, small swimming pool and children's play area. Also horses and goats which you are encouraged to feed. Digital TV channels available, there is good telephone and internet coverage (Telstra), water pressure is good, dump point and no permanent cabins.
Likes: Well run, good value for money and great location.

Very lovely caravan park and one of the best that we have stayed in. Very good value for money at $24 per night for a powered site. We had a site that overlooked the Murray River. The park is extremely well maintained with lots of shady trees and the gardens are well manicured with solar lighting throughout. The two amenities blocks are spotless and provide everything that we campers expect. Loved the washing machine set up outside for the doggy rugs which was free to use and the hand soap at the dump point shows how much the owners are prepared to go the extra length for their customers. The rubbish bins are all tucked away behind small fences and the camp kitchen is excellent with free electric bar b ques. The shop provides the essentials such as bread, papers and milk and the park is only 2 kms from the main shopping in Mildura. Phone reception was excellent.
Likes: The quiet setting right on the Murray River. The cleanliness and the fact the park is very well maintained. The solar lighting throughout the park is very pretty.
Dislikes: No sullage especially when a lot of caravans have showers and washing machines which just let the water flow out onto the grass, and the facilities can be a fair walk if you have a site near the river. The pool is much too small for the size of the park.

There has been a lot of reports on this park, all true and accurate. I would like to reiterate these reports and to add that I have never visited a park with these added touches. Hand lotion in the ladies bathrooms, a separate washing machine for washing your pets products (we all know what it is like to wash in machine someone's obviously washed dog blankets in), a car washing area that can be used freely and the effort put into the night lighting and tidiness of the whole park. A park worth visiting.

All the detail has been covered before in very current reports so here are some general comments. This caravan park is how they all should be. Each other caravan park manager should come here to see how it is done. Not only are there electric hand driers but paper towels as well (with paper in them) and the soap containers actually have soap in them - unlike most caravan parks. Where else can you find a dump point that has hand washing and drying facilities nearby Then there all the pleasantries like fairy lighting and ornaments. This is a wonderful place and we'll definitely be back. What's more, it's really close to Mildura and takes dogs.

The drive of the last 6.5kms into this reserve, approx 31kms in from the highway, is not for the faint hearted being very windy and narrow following the route of the old railway line with a number of blind/mirrored corners. The highest drop is something in the order of 500m according to the manager. If one meets vans or boats coming the opposite way then someone will have to backup to allow the other to get past. As we have a large van, the manager offered to have us escorted out on the morning of our departure and this offer was gladly accepted and made our way out much more pleasant and not nearly as stressful as the trip in, when we did meet boats and a van coming out. The park itself is very large with a large number of holiday permanent vans and has a number of camping areas but a limited number of van sites, approx 18 or so, which are all located some distance back from the water and have limited views of the lake. The van sites are all fairly small and we had to park over 2 longways due to the slope of the area. Each area has its own amenities block so no problem with these. There has been some damage to the area from the recent rains and the road out to the dam is closed with washouts and bridge damage. The fishing at the moment is exceptional according to the staff but we did not have the time to try our luck. There is a licensed store/kiosk which can supply most essentials including takeaway food. You can basically forget TV and mobile use but might be lucky enough to pick up a mobile signal if you walk around searching some of the higher spots. Enquire as to toilet cassette disposal. Plenty of wildlife around with roos roaming freely even during the day but particularly at early morning or late evening. Very friendly staff. Good value for money ($20.00 2A per night, powered, off-peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, extra charge for shower. Inadequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, no sites with annex slabs, shade to most sites, adequate taps close by.

Manager's name is Andrew & Sonia Palmer. Council owned park right on the banks of the Murray. Mostly permanent vans but a few tourist sites right on the river are available. We stayed off season and it was just about empty and quiet. The facilities are older, clean but in peak season would have difficulty coping as most of the permanent vans looked old and may not have facilities. It is about 10 minutes walk to town from the far sites, not the 1 minute quoted. You have to walk a route through the park and sports facilities, not the main road. Sites seem to be a reasonable size for this sort of location but with a van over about 21foot you may have difficulty backing into some of them. Suggest you check the site before finalising. Overall a nice quiet spot out of season and walking distance to the pubs in town. Friendly staff. Reasonable value for money ($28 2A per night, off-peak season).

Council run. Nicely situated by a stream and park - littlies would need to be closely supervised. Park is on a well used local road but noise didn't bother us. Maintenance crew was on site when we arrived and we paid the man in charge. There is a notice on the amenities regarding checking in. Call in or phone Tourist info or Council to check in/pay. They are just down the road. We had a freezing first night (our water hose literally froze and had ice hanging off it) and the tap stand sprung a leak.

A great place to spend a week 'resting'. The park is right on the Billabong Creek. There are a couple of sites on South Street itself which is where we are set up, but the street is very quiet. The majority of the park is on the large flat space right on the creek with grass sites and trees for shade just below South St. Amenities are OK - showers, toilets & laundry - like me, getting on a bit but still pretty good. The town has a heritage listed pub (great looking old place), Foodworks supermarket, chemist, take-away shop (fish & chips etc), newsagent (with Melbourne papers). And if you're lucky enough the friendly stray duck may still be here. Friendly staff, good staff response to complaints, staff explained park layout and facilities.

This is a non affiliated and non rated small park at the end of the main street. Just opposite the RSL. RSL meals are a little expensive if you are not a member so also check out the pubs in town if looking for food. It is mainly cabins with a few sites, all ensuite so it is worth phoning ahead for a site. We had the older ensuite as we did not book but it was fine if a little run down. The owners were very helpful and dropped by for a chat mentioning that they are remodelling and updating the last older ensuites. No pool, playground, or anything else, except a laundry and BBQ area which they are also redoing, but an honest spot to stay close to town. Backs onto a creek and is quiet with just a little truck noise echoing down the road but not really noticeable. Had 3 nights here and enjoyed it as a cheap and friendly place to stay and explore the area. Very friendly staff, staff helped us at the site. Very good value for money ($22 2A per night, powered.
Parking: Not a lot of room so just pull over at the side of Middys

This caravan park is opposite and along side McLean Beach on the Edward River within walking distance of the town. This is a large park with a number of amenities - some much better than others. Cost $23 per night for 2A. There are a lot of annual vans, so tourists only make up a small part. It is neat and tidy and the grounds well kept.

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).

Manager's name is Robert and Lianne. We always stop here on our way up or down the highway as we find that this park is easy to get into and has sites which would take any size rig with ease. As with any park it is what the individual makes of their stay and whether one intends staying only for an overnighter or a bit longer. Site are generally easy to get into and generally level but no slabs so some adjustment may be necessary in some locations. TV reception seems to vary in accordance with how far up the hill one's site is, whilst mobile phone coverage is good. The park does have permanents but we find these residents keep to themselves.

The park is for sale. We found the park to be neat and tidy, and the amenities clean. Price was a little high compared to some parks we have stayed in recently. Ensuite sites were also available, but $10 more. Some of the lighting was turned off around bedtime, so could be a bit dark in some areas if you need a night-time visit to the amenities. Hwy noise at night was okay. There is a railway behind the park, but we did not have any trains go through at night. Friendly staff, no complaints, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities. $32 2A per night, powered, off-peak season. We paid $29 because of Big4 member.

A pleasant caravan park with a lot of drive-thru en-suite sites, which we stayed on. $35 per night for first night, then $30 per night. It had rained the day we arrived so there were large puddles and some muddy sections on one of the roads (all others were asphalt) in the park. I did check out the amenities block briefly for this report but did not use it. It was very clean. The shower area seemed small compared to that in the en-suite site we had.

This park is rated 4 Star in the RACV caravan guide but shouldn't be higher than 2 Star. Whoever rated it couldn't have stayed there.

This is a free camp on the banks of the lake. The amenities are old but contain a toilet and cold shower. There is a fire place and an undercover BBQ. There are some power sockets in this area.

The park is located on the outskirts of town and easily accessible. The site we were allocated had a nice paved apron, surrounded by green grass and close to the amenities and laundry. At $25.20 (two adults on a powered site) after the BIG4 discount it represented good value and it is well used as an overnighter. The amenities were limited with three toilets and three showers in the Men's but they seemed able to cope on a relatively busy couple of nights. The cleanliness of the men's was only average and by 8.15am only one of the toilets had any toilet paper even though the dispensers held multiple rolls. The Manager cleaning the washing area was smoking although there were large signs declaring it a smoke free zone. The water for the van is not suitable for drinking (and looked a bit murky) but there is a separate tap for drinking water close to most vans. The internal roads are good and several sites suitable to allow overnight hitching. The park is fairly quiet with only some distant noise from nearby main roads but overall very good.
Likes: Good access, paved apron alongside van, grassed, flat sites, value, and overnight hitching for quick getaway.
Dislikes: The water situation is dodgy, the average cleanliness and maintenance of showers and toilets

We have stayed here before, on a powered site, and decided to try one of their ensuite sites. There are only 4 of these, and two of them looked to be in long term use when we stayed, so it would pay to book - by phone or online. Ensuite sites put the van under cover, with TV coax ready to plug in. May be able to leave caravan hooked up, depending on size.

Be aware that water taps for connection to 'vans are not suitable for drinking, but drinking water is available from separate taps.

Report submitted by Nigel Shotton (5).

We used this park for two overnight stays, 20 days apart. It was by far the best park experience we had the whole time away. The amenities were clean and very well appointed (sliding glass screens in the showers meant no wet feet), plenty of hot water, the resident owners were friendly and cheerful, the camp kitchen and electric BBQ was a delight to use and the drive through sites were level and provided with power, water and sullage without the need for extension connections. The park is small and appears to have more cabins than van sites but the cabins form an effective noise barrier between the Hume Highway and the caravans. Truck noise was not a problem. Excellent value for money.

Lovely park well managed with all facilities maintained to high standard, right in town walk to most things but the noise of trucks on the highway at night is loud and continuous, we had very poor sleep and probably would not stay again unless it was at a time when trucks were not rolling or if we wanted to sleep in the day. If the Hume later bypasses Holbrook this park would be a must do. Very friendly staff, staff explained park layout and facilities. Good value for money ($32 2A per night, peak season).

Report submitted by Peter & Elaine, Lake Macquarie (46).

This is an open well grassed park with fairly level sites large enough to take the biggest RV. It has a basic, clean amenities block with laundry and a roomy camp kitchen (includes BBQ). There is a simple playground and a pool. Power and water are close to sites but there are no sullage points. There is a dump point. Cost is $25 2A per night - but discounts are given for members of Top Tourist, as well as for members of CMCA, Winnebago club, NRMA and seniors. The office has a kiosk for basic items. This is a good overnight stop between Sydney and Melbourne, with little traffic noise from the highway. Morrison's cafe next door is a popular breakfast stop for travellers

Park is well signposted, 500m from town centre, right on Lake Jindabyne. Sites are terraced, with most having lovely views over the lake. There are many holiday permanents vans, but most towards the back of the park. The older amenities block has toilets only, the new block is well laid out, with toilets completely separate from showers, there is disabled facilities and a family room, complete with bath. The laundry is modern and all is spotless. There is a playing area, no pool, but of course, there is the lake. The camp kitchen is small, but well stocked with appliances and there is also an enclosed BBQ area with bench seating. The staff were very friendly and went to great lengths to help us with our problems when the electrical system in our van failed. Jindabyne is a good base to explore the snowy mountains area. A walk to the top of Mt Kosciuszko is highly recommended for those with a medium level of fitness. Catch the chairlift from Thredbo to the top and it is then a 6.5km walk up.
Local Information: $16. 00 entrance fee to NP - pensioner concessions for NSW residents only. A day pass is available to travel through, but no stopping - only hurts the shopkeepers, the views are still the same. Lunch at Adaminaby, Berriedale or go early and eat back at Jindabyne.

This park is a Top Tourist Park and has to be one of the best value for money parks we have used. The park is run by Faye and Peter who are excellent hosts and prepared to put themselves out for you. They are able to provide information on all the attractions in the area and the easiest way to get to them. The sites are clean as is the park, a general and recycling rubbish bins are in position between each two sites. The sites are easily accessed although when the park is busy, they are close together. The amenities are the best, large showers, plenty of wash hand basins and toilets; they are kept in a spotlessly clean condition. The laundry offers washing machines and dryers as well as two sinks. There is a separate baby bathroom and a family bathroom. If you are in the area this caravan is a definite, very close to town and all the attractions.

Manager's name is Tony & Fiona. This park is a little gem, very family friendly, and customer focused. Delightful lake side location of 6 acres. A fisher person's paradise. You can fish the pondage or the river with ease, and large trout are not too far from your dinner plate. With a relaxed and laid-back style it offers something for everyone, no matter what the season. It is ideally situated on the Alpine Way, with year round access to Thredbo, Perisher Blue (via ski tube) and the Selwyn Snowfields.

Likes: We loved this park. It is currently undergoing improvements in facilities, it has any type of accommodation you need from unpowered sites to deluxe spa cabins, or authentic fishing cabins. It is family owned and run, and is a "work in progress" with many planned additions to the park, coming in the near future. Even if you aren't into trout fishing, and just want to enjoy the beautiful and stunning countryside, including flora & fauna bush walks, this is the place to go. Adjoining the famous Kosciuszko National Park Khancoban is the home of Australia's High Country adventures.
Dislikes: It would have been good to have had the choice of a cement or gravel slab when the weather is wet, but I believe there are plans for this in the near future.
Added Touches: Boat ramp, fish cleaning, Rec room with large log fire and TV. One way chain hire - drop off at Jindabyne, one way ski hire by prior arrangement. Kids club. Seniors and weekly discounts. Great off season specials. Free fish freezer. Boat and raft hire. Guided fishing, canoeing and adventure tours. Weigh-in facilities.
Local Information: Do a free tour of the Snowy Hydro Murray 1 plant and information centre, well worth a visit and free use of the picnic garden. Enjoy happy hour at the Alpine Inn, a perfect spot to sip an ice cold beer under the grapevines.
Roads: This is beautifully breathtaking scenery as you enter Khancoban from either Melbourne or Sydney. Road conditions were fine, but check with Tony at the park if any of the roads have been closed due to inclement weather or snowy conditions.

This park is not for people who like top notch amenities but it is a very quiet and isolated park right on the Murray River, with very poor mobile phone coverage so, if getting away from the hustle and bustle is what you need with good security maybe this is the park.

The park is on the Old Hume Hwy just N of the town centre. We received a friendly welcome when we booked into this pleasant park. Arriving at lunch time we got the second to last powered site and the place was full early afternoon. Book ahead to be sure of a site as there only seems to be around 20 available to tourists. The park is next to a large oval and over the road (Old Hume Hwy) from the busy rail line. You can hear the trains but they are not loud. This is an established and well maintained park. There are a lot of permanents as well as semi permanents who seemed to be working temporarily in the area. Facilities are old but functional and clean. There is a toilet block as well as a larger toilet/shower block, a good idea, although the main block is quite a walk from the tourist sites. Sites are pretty small and close together. This is a popular tourist area with Berrima, Bowral, Moss Vale and Mittagong all very close together but not well served by caravan parks.

Booked a powered camping site here for a 30 degree plus weekend. The lady at the desk could not have cared less (as opposed to Kay who I spoke to on the phone who was lovely) we were sent to our tent site which was grass but had no shade, backed onto cabins filled with yahoos, and wasn't really suitable. Went back to office, was informed they didn't really cater for campers, was shown to another site which was on a 30 degree angle and totally unsuitable for a large tent. Able to get refund on fare but grudgingly - lady who wasn't Kay needs to learn some people skills. Unfriendly staff, bad staff response to complaints. Inadequate number of tourist sites, some level sites, poor night lighting, concrete annex slabs to some sites, very few sites are shaded. Quiet, claustrophobic park, not enough shade, a few permanents. Suitable for overnighter.
Dislikes: Lack of shade, no interest in tent campers

Likes: This park was previously a BIG4. It appears it was bought by the Aspen Group together with an adjoining caravan park for redevelopment. It therefore has two pools, an artificial lake stocked with fish for kids to catch and plenty of open area. It not only has BBQ areas but also a camp kitchen with all the necessary kitchen utensils and TV. This section is fully enclosed to dullen any noise
Dislikes: Unfortunately there are not enough powered and unpowered sites for real campers. Perhaps when the derelict half is redeveloped, this may change
Parking: Plenty of line booking within the park before the boom gates
Added Touches: There is a boat ramp, and they are dredging a marina for house boats. I received a coupon for free coffee when I was leaving
Local Information: This park is far enough from Echuca/Moama to minimise noise yet close enough to the premier clubs such as the Bowls Club. Courtesy buses are available and the office will arrange them for you

There are about a dozen elevated, river view sites, with beautiful river gums along the bank. There are a few other tourist sites dotted amongst the multitude of permanents, holiday permanents and cabins. The park is well maintained, very neat and tidy and the amenities are large and clean. It was raining the whole time we were there, so didn't walk around, but the pool area looked very nice and there was at least one playground. The park is just across the bridge from Echuca, not walkable, but quite convenient. In our opinion, management (Aspen Parks) are not at all interested in caravanners in this park, having, it appears put in yet more cabins where tourist sites used to be, although reception were certainly very friendly. The price of $35.00 per night 2A is just silly for this time of year. We decided at that price we would move away from the area and find somewhere cheaper to sit out the rain. So, while it is lovely looking at the river, right opposite these sites are cabins and permanents, the others are in the overcrowded areas and would not be at all congenial for a long stay.
Date 06/2009. Park Rating 3: Wouldn't stay again, because we don't like parks overcrowded with permanents when we are travelling.

Entering the park has two large speed humps. If your vehicle has a weight distribution hitch and it scrapes on the first hump, you will need to take it off before the second hump as this has a steeper drop off. This park caters for people staying in cabins. If van, make sure you stay next to kitchen area, otherwise trip to toilet (next to kitchen) can be over two hundred m and walking between cabins. Unusual sites at kitchen area. You back up to kitchen (no designated sites, just park anywhere) and plug electricity into connections in eaves of kitchen area. Water taps below electricity. You can fit eight vans here. One wash basin in male toilet/shower, two in female toilet/showers. Friendly staff, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities.

Park was well kept. Unfortunately managers need training in people skills. We were in a group of people aged from 50-70 year olds staying at this park. At 6pm we were joined by a few other people staying at the park. We were all sitting on the riverfront in front of one of the cabins we had booked, all brought nibbles and drinks to enjoy each other's company, when the park manager came and told us we were making too much noise and he would be back to patrol the area. He was very aggressive and rude. This was not good as I thought part of the caravanning experience was to meet others and enjoy a so called happy hour together. It is a shame the managers where like this as it was a nice park. I for one will not be going back there. Unfriendly staff. Reasonable value for money ($29 2A, powered).

Note by Badger: I tried to confirm this report with the park managers but only received back a quite discourteous response from Michelle. Go figure! Manager's name is Michelle & Darren Perry. My wife & I, together with 6 other pensioner couples pre-booked a combination of five powered sites and two cabins up to 5 months ago. When I tried to book in I was advised that the site I had chosen had been double booked by the manager's daughter to a friend but they did offer an alternate site, which on the map provided appeared next to the rail line and Cobb Hwy. When I inquired as to why I should move, as I was the first to book in and the site was unoccupied, I was accused as being rude and obnoxious, and the manageress left the booking room mumbling that she didn't care if I stayed there or not. I went to inspect the two alternate sites available, and returned to the office to confirm which site we would move to, when she said I was not welcome there and if I gave them my credit card they would re-credit it. I was so shocked at this lack of hospitality and aggression I did as she requested. I promptly left that park and ventured down to the Maiden Caravan Park where I was welcomed with open arms. I have since learnt that the 6 other couples were told they were making too much noise at a barbeque at 6.30PM and as a consequence of the manager's aggressiveness, went to a club for their evening meal. Very unfriendly staff, bad staff response to complaints, staff explained park layout and facilities. Poor value for money ($29 2A per night, powered, off-peak season). Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, sites will accommodate medium to large vans, very few annex slabs, shade to some sites.

Manager's name is Darren & Michelle Perry. What a find. Tried another caravan park for tent camping sites which was no good, decided to try here as well but were overwhelmed by their cabins - majority are right on the Murray bank, we had the 4 berth for $95 a night - bugger the tent. Be aware that you need to insert the key into the point inside the door to get electricity - hadn't seen that before, wasn't explained to us so had effectively no power first night. Did by with our camping stuff though, and probably our fault for not knowing that.

Clean UC electric bbq ($1), congenial bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. Good playground in good condition. Clean heated pool is shaded, kid-safe pool area, tables and chairs provided Suitable for a week or more, well maintained park.
Likes: Service was great - caretakers in place while owners on holidays but couldn't have been more helpful. Right on Murray bank, friendly ducks, kookaburras and possums to feed. Walk to Bowls Club (great meals, great service and value). 5 mins drive to new Moama Woolworths, Moama shops in walking distance, adjacent to Echuca bridge short walk to town.
Dislikes: No explanation of need to insert key into slot to get electricity. Probably our mistake.
Parking: Lots of parking in front of boom gates
Added Touches: Pin pad entry to car park - entry and exit - very good

We stayed at Moss Vale because it is the better of the two around the Southern Highlands, definitely a dearth of caravan parks around here. However, reading the previous reports we were a bit concerned. Nevertheless, the manager was prompt in answering an enquiry by email, that they could fit us in. We have a 28ft fifth wheeler and managed OK, albeit a bit higher at the front than we prefer. Often getting to the site is a problem, but here was good. There is a lot of work going on and while we were there, three concrete base sites had their upgrade completed and look great. There is a pile of blocks to assist in levelling and chocking vans on the lower uneven sites. Evidence of the manager using the bobcat and filling to improve the level of some sites, $28 per night is probably fair for a park close to major tourist areas. The park is clean and tidy. I think that Rob and Marea are working hard to improve the park and deserve support. Don't be put off staying here, Moss Vale shop owners seem to be exceptionally friendly and Bowral, what a lovely town, nearby.

Manager's name is Rob & Marea. This could be a lovely park but for the lack of TLC. The entrance to the park is stunning and you think wow. Unfortunately that is where it stops. No work was done during our stay, the van next to us had been here for 5 months and pulled out next day, the grass was obviously very long but no attempt was made to cut it. The grass in the whole park is in bad need of mowing and cleaning up. Some tiles in the ladies amenities were broken and although the amenities were clean they are old and need updating. When we booked in there was much discussion between management as to whether our van would fit on the site that they had allocated to us. No attempt was made to show us the site, we were just told that if the site wasn't suitable to just find somewhere else. As we drove in our allocated site was on a corner and very much far too small, we drove around and finally find a site that was suitable. The main problem with this park is that all sites are small and extremely uneven which makes it a problem even if you have a medium sized van like ours. Average staff friendliness, staff explained park layout and facilities. Poor value for money ($27 2A per night, powered, off-peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to most sites, were clean, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation.

Manager's name is Rob & Marea. We stayed here for our visit to the Bowral region, as we could only find one other caravan park in the area and this is definitely the nicest. Nice gardens and shade, sites are well planned though not exactly flat - not sure how you'd go with a really long caravan. They have a nice grass section for camper trailers. Managers are lovely, and there are cabins etc as usual. Amenities are nice, clean, well-lit; camp kitchen is very good with all goodies and all free. Night-time lighting is good for those little moments. Not too kid-friendly as no pool or rec room and very small playground. Very good value, we got $39 per night for 4 people.

The non-slab sites have a steep-ish gradient. The rear of our 21ft van was inches off the ground after we had levelled it up. Water and sullage service for sites but are not located centrally, so they are close to only two vans. In addition to the playground there is a golf practice net.

A typical country caravan park - bit rough around the edges. Sealed roads, no gutters (which can be a good thing), lots of shade trees and at this time of year, lots of leaves. The sites are a bit rough and uneven and the strange thing is the vans park on the concrete, leaving dirt for the awning. The tourist sites are mixed in with very tired on-site vans and cabins, which, it seems, are permanently let. Most sites could be drive through, if no one in front. The amenities are old, but clean, with soap dispensers and a drying area in the showers. Taps and sullage are inconvenient to most sites, power OK. There is a small camp kitchen, which was well lit. A good place to be based in the Southern Highlands, with the Bradman Museum just down the road and Bowral and there is a terrific tourist drive to Fitzroy and other falls.

The lake was 10m from our van and the fishing on the lake was great; caught my first Murray Cod with the helpful advice from John the park owner. The park has very well maintained lawns and even though the amenities are old they are immaculate; it's a credit to Tracey the owner and cleaner. Tracey was very helpful in information about the town and the history of Moulamein.

Coming into town from north or south on the Newell, there are new signs directing to this park. It is worth the effort, because it is a quiet park well off the highway. Yes, the park is on a sloping site, but the drive through sites are level and easy to access and exit. The amenities blocks are well kept and very clean. When we were there, Lake Talbot looked a bit sad, but there is a great walking track through a gate from the park. It is a drive into town, but through a pretty avenue of trees. This is a peaceful stopover.

Whilst it's a bit off the main road, believe me it's worth the effort to find this place. No traffic noise, no train noise, no hoodlums roaring around the park, just a relaxing break from the madness of the Newell Hwy. The town has an excellent shopping area & if staying for a few days as we did it's a good day out to go over to Wagga, & to go to Griffith & Leeton on another day. The park is on the side of a hill but with such a big area it's not hard to get the van level plus there is 2 toilet blocks to choose from so the facilities are not far. Of course if it rains the side of the hill is a blessing. The sites are stone road base so no mud & no need for a slab. This park rates highly for cleanliness & comfort & the new owners are keen to be of service. I can't imagine anyone wanting to stay at the park down by the truck stop on the main highway. Friendly staff, good staff response to complaints, staff offered tourist advice. Good value for money ($22 2A per night, off-peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to most sites, were clean, condition is good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water. Adequate number of tourist sites, some unlevel sites, good night lighting, very few concrete annex slabs, shade to some sites, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by.

This park is some distance from the CBD and is located on a relatively steep hill so it is difficult to find a level site. As a consequence, we had some difficulty in levelling our 23 ft van. However, it was a pleasant enough stay, the facilities and grounds were well maintained, and we had a concrete slab which was handy as we experienced heavy rain during the night. The park is adjacent to what appears to be a man-made lake and a water fun park / pool complex. Suitable as an overnighter or for longer stay.

Manager's name is Steve Kent. The main amenities block has recently been completely refurbished with all toilet bowls, cisterns and cubicles replaced, interior retiled and painted. The laundry was not included in this makeover however. Cleaning was unfortunately a bit slip-shod and there were cobwebs with dead insects in them in some of the cubicles and on the walls. This is a pity and detracted from what is otherwise a top class facility. A good deal of the park is shaded by London Plane trees, which when seeding can be quite problematic for hay fever and asthma sufferers. However there are also significant areas where there are no plane trees. Another problem with the plane trees is that they periodically drop branches and frequently drop the spherical seed pods which can make a startling noise when landing on the roof of a van. Insufficient effort is taken to keep the grounds free of the seed pods and fallen branches. Friendly staff. Reasonable value for money ($35 2A per night, peak season).

This is a lovely wide and open spaces park on the edge of the river and close to town.

The older amenities block has a large notice that it will be closed for major refurbishment in May 2011 as it needs a good doing over.

Report submitted by Fran & Trevor (Shakazulu) Melbourne (131).

This park is reasonably well maintained but a number of the sites are difficult to access. This was particularly the case with the ensuite site we stayed on. The ensuite was of a very good standard but the water and sullage were too far from the van to access with standard length hoses. At 6.30am I discovered that there was no hot water in the ensuite and there was a strong smell of gas. On leaving the park I reported this to the manager who gave a curt reply to the effect that the gas must have run out. I asked for a refund and was told there would be none and that I should have reported it to management at the time I discovered it. Judging by the less than friendly response to the complaint I can only imagine the response at 6.30am. Unfriendly staff, bad staff response to complaints. Adequate number of tourist sites, ensuite sites available, hard to negotiate into site, a few permanents. Suitable for overnighter.

Report submitted by Swagman (2).

Friendly staff, good staff response to complaints, staff helped us at the site. Poor value for money ($97 + linen cost $12, 2A, cabin). Cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Optus, reception quality was 3). Quiet. No pool. Suitable for overnighter.
Likes: Mainly close to town and facilities.
Dislikes: Shabby, and cabins are mounted on block so that they can be moved if the river floods. Having to pay extra for linen is a pain as at the end of a long day the last things we want to do is make the bed. This also adds to the overall costs of the night. Wouldn't stay here again.
