Small park. Sites are large with a bit of slope. Most are grass. A couple
have slabs but slabs are in poor condition. Amenities are adequate. They are old but kept in immaculate condition.
Management wasn't unfriendly but offered nothing. Reasonable value for money, $17/night 2A, powered site.
Suitable for overnight. We would stay again.

The usual friendly welcome from Wendy greeted our arrival. Park was very full and we had no booking,
but she found a site for us and helped us on to it. Despite crowding the facilities were adequate, very clean and well
maintained. Excellent campfire meal served at a reasonable price, and a very good talk given by local police sergeant
"Stainless" Steele on the topic of Safe Driving In the Outback (and a few more topics and jokes as well). We now wouldn't think
of staying elsewhere in Charleville. $24 per night 2A before Top Tourist discount reasonable value.

The signage to the park is pretty ordinary, but my GPS found it with no problem.
Good friendly park. The park was quite empty at this time of the year - I always travel out west for this reason in summer.

otherwise you're on too much of an angle and would scrape the side of your caravan.

Manager's name is Justin & Peta Debney.
This is a new park opened at the start of the year. It's on a working cattle station, so the owners are not always there when you arrive. Just pick a site.
Justin will come by at the end of the day. All the sites are drive through, big enough for the biggest rig. There is a camp fire most nights,
great atmosphere where you meet other campers, the owners usually stop by and are happy to talk about the property. Very quiet at night and the
stars are fantastic. Good for two to three nights.
Good management, friendly management.

Manager's name is Justin and Peta Debney.
This is a brand new park, only opened about two months ago, so shade trees have not yet grown, but the sites are all drive-through, are large,
and well grassed. The facilities are very clean and tidy, and wheelchair accessible. There are powered and unpowered sites with ample space between the level sites.
This park is situated on a working cattle property so the owner/managers may not appear when you arrive, so you park yourself (very easy to
do as huge grounds) and the extremely friendly and casual owners will see to you some time during the day. They are only too happy to chat
about the property, which has been owned by the family since 1892, and the problems and joys of life in the outback. There are open
campfires and BBQs available and a camp kitchen was under construction while we were there.
It is lovely and quiet here, the stars are vivid as no street lighting to hinder, and the owners run station tours (lunch included)
which are very interesting and informative. It is well worth staying a few days here as only a short drive into town to see the Cosmos
Centre and the Bilby complex. The only small downside is they are not yet geared to accept EFTPOS.
Good value for money.

$22 per night. This is a working station that does not live up to the glossy pamphlet advert. The reception office was
never in use at any time we were there, so we just found a site, as did everyone else. At around 6pm the owner comes round
and collects the money, offers no receipts. The amenities are 2 showers and 2 toilets for each sex. They are clean and the
showers are a good size with vanity basin. Women's toilet ran out of toilet paper. Showers were cold on second day because
ran out of gas. Totally disappointing all round.

There are no difficulties accessing the property and most campsites with an ordinary sedan and caravan. There are about 10 powered
sites in an attractive open area and numerous areas for unpowered sites. All sites are spacious and well grassed and mown with plenty
of shade. It is ideal for groups. Each campsite has a fireplace and a barbecue. Good firewood can be purchased for a moderate price and
is delivered to your site. The nights were cool so fires were welcome but days were sunny and warm. Amenities
blocks are simple but quite new and very clean. There are hot showers with plenty of hot water and composting toilets. Rain water is
available for drinking. There is safe swimming and canoeing in the creek, pleasant walks and lovely bird life. Conducted nature walks
are available. There are numerous tourist attractions in the area and Kilcoy is only 15 minutes away. The owners are friendly and helpful.
No motorbikes can be ridden in the property and a walking pace speed limit is imposed so it is safe for children. Dogs are welcome and do
not need to be leashed so long as they are under control. This is suitable for a short break or a longer holiday for people who enjoy the
bush or want a change from the standard crowded caravan park along the coast.

We checked in for a couple of days and ended up staying for 3 weeks. We got discounted weekly rate, was $96 per week. Lovely big showers, even tho there was only
3 showers in ladies and 2 in mens, we never had to wait at all for a shower, water was always hot. They were cleaned daily, had soap on tap and paper hand towels.
Yes the floor had red stain, from soil, but they were clean and smelt nice. Very friendly caretakers, yes power boxes on some sites were high, but they are being
lowered after the show in May 2009. Most people came for a couple of days like us, but ended up staying longer. They now have 2 washing machines, and the one dryer,
and ample clothes lines. At 4pm most days the Kookaburras would start laughing - lovely.

Well signposted off highway about 20 km north of Miles, but we did wonder where we were going – after following a dirt road
for about a kilometre through the bush we found the park. After paying for our site, we were directed further through the park and
helped on site by another friendly person. The park is built using some of the facilities used by the RAAF during World War II when
it was a munitions base. The drive-through sites were large. The toilet block, whilst not large, had big shower and toilet cubicles
and was clean and well maintained and more than adequate for the number of sites. A good overnight spot in an interesting environment.
$20 per night.

Report submitted by Wayne & Shelley, Donnybrook.
We did not know very much about this park prior to our arrival as there does not seem to be reference to it in van park
guides. We had heard about it from friends who had stayed here. The big attraction appears to be the Artesian Spa Baths within
easy walking distance of the park. We had heard of "free night" offers but at the time of our visit powered sites were $17.50 per
night & we had an ensuite site for $24 per night with only $4 for the 3rd night. $52 for 3 nights on an ensuite site was great value
for money. Some visitors come for several weeks to go to the spa baths. The park is well laid out with sealed roads, some concrete
pads & plenty of shrubs & trees separating the sites. The water is bore water which becomes more palatable if left to stand for
a while. We believe the park is council owned & leased to a private operator. Improvements are taking place & this park should
look really great when the shrubs & trees mature.

Stayed 1 night. $22.50 per night, plus refundable $5.00 for key. This is the oil capital of Queensland so we expected
to see a little town. We arrived at the petrol station/pub and asked for directions to Moonie and were told "this is it".
I asked where the caravan park was and was told "this is it". Reception, which doubles as everything, was very friendly and
helpful. We were given a meal voucher for $16.99 and two coffee vouchers. A great overnight stop. Level dirt sites with bore
water and power. One toilet and shower for women, same for men, both in spotless condition. No TV reception.
Poor mobile telephone connection. On the night we stayed it was roast night (pork), which I had and it was just delicious.
Leszek had a large rump steak which was cooked to perfection. He said it was the best steak he had eaten in a long time.
With the voucher, my meal ended up being free. Very good atmosphere in the pub. Road noise was minimal. Seven vans
parked the night we stayed. We had a good breakfast in the "restaurant" in the morning. An excellent overnight stop,
even if just for the meal, and we would definitely stay again.

A friendly reception on a terribly rainy day. Parking area while checking in was close to reception. This is a very clean and tidy
park which is obvious on arrival at the gate. Personally taken to site and assisted to park. Local town maps were offered.
The price of $25 2A was less with the BIG4 discount of 10 per cent. Showers were large and roomy though cool breezes throughout
were not appreciated on our very cold and rainy visit. There was a bench for clothes with hooks for shower caddy and rubber floor mats.
No shower curtains but these were not needed as the area is large enough to avoid spray. Toilets were well kept with liquid soap and
electric hand dryer. The laundry had only two dryers and thus a long wait was the order of the day while everyone was trying to dry
their wet clothes. A TV cable provided (free) enabled good reception. Double slab made things easier with two concrete tracks plus one
for the jockey wheel. A park with a quiet and open atmosphere and well maintained. A small pool was not made use of at the time.

A great park set among the forest and central to a number of South Burnett attractions (wineries, dams, etc). It is a
very peaceful location. It has one of the best designed amenities blocks we have come across and it is kept immaculate.
Managers, Ian and Judith, are friendly and helpful. Help with parking is offered. The park does not offer any of the "add ons"
such as playgrounds and swimming pool and there is probably not enough to keep kids amused but it is great for adults.
Good value at $22 2A per night and we will stay again.

We have stayed at this park several times in the past two years and have found it convenient and value for money. It is a nice
walk into town now along footpath all the way. Good camp kitchen with gas and electric BBQ near majority of van sites. Small toilet
block behind. New major toilet block opened recently. Larger camp kitchen is mainly used by backpackers/fruitpickers and is a bit
unkempt sometimes. New camping areas are flat and mainly grassed with BBQ areas nearby. Vans are given sites depending on size.

We now have 3 camp kitchens, as well as 4 other "mini Camp Kitchens" with free gas BBQs & kitchen sinks at various locations
around the park. We have increased our number of sites to 210 powered and bush camping. Generators are permitted in the bush
camping areas with a curfew of 9pm, we have no permanent residents. In addition to the existing amenities we have a new state
of the art amenities block completed in January 2007, we also have a drive thru dump point for the convenience to motor homers
as well as the dump point for cartridges (there is a hose at these facilities for rinsing). Our current Managers are Francis
McLaughlin and Brent Bruen who have been with us since April 2006.

Update supplied by park owners.
Parking was a do-it-yourself affair with no assistance provided. Two amenity blocks. Older one was a demountable building
immediately behind the BBQ area. No exhaust fans and not very pleasant. The other block was of a higher standard and actually
had a washing machine and dryer in the outer area of the ablutions block. This was in addition to the specific laundry block.
Sites were of a good size with drive-thru facilities. Taps and sullage were adjacent. En-suite sites advertised were not
evident as major renovations were underway. Camp kitchen was situated in area away from tourist sites. It seemed to cater
more for the backpacker-pickers who made up a good number of guests. The bunkhouse accommodation was nearby mainly for the
camp kitchen. The pool was clean but there was not enough tables, seats etc. around the pool. No toddler pool. Garbage drops
were isolated from sites. No shade around pool area. No playground for children. The 'short distance to town, golf club etc'
was not quite correct and as there are no footpaths along the road it was necessary to drive to town.
Average management.
Reasonable value for money. Amenity water pressure was okay, there was adequate hot water.
Average sites, adequate number of tourist sites, sites were level, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by.
Quiet park. UC bbq with seating provided. Clean pool. Suitable for a few days.
Likes: Although not really within safe walking distance it was the closest to town.
Dislikes: The better standard toilets and showers were not really adjacent to van sites as they were a lot of cabins closer
than van sites.
Local Information: Visits to cherry farm, olive farm and lavender farms make for a very interesting day's drive and not too
far away from the park.

We had no difficulty accessing in our 2wd falcon and 18ft van.
It is reasonably priced at $12/night unpowered, $17/night powered. There are a number of powered sites as well as numerous
unpowered sites. The powered sites are located along a creek line and are quite pleasant. Each has its own fireplace and
firewood will be brought to the site by management (at a cost). There is no drinking water at the powered sites but
non-potable water is available at a number of spots throughout. All sites are grassed and can become dusty in even
moderately dry weather.
Current amenities are old, lacking in size and in need of pulling down. Management recognizes this and two new modern
blocks are under construction and due for opening by Easter 2006.
The property is over 1000 hectares and caters primarily for trail-bikers and 4wd enthusiasts. However the property is
also an old gold field and fossicking is an activity for many visitors. Old shafts remain so be careful on the trail-bike
and hiking at night. It was quiet mid-week when we were there but we were pleased to be leaving on a Saturday morning
when the trail-bikes were starting up. If the quiet bush life is for you then avoid weekends, public and school holidays.
The management is everything good managers should be; friendly, helpful, obvious around the park but non-intrusive.
We will go again, timing our trip to cater for our liking of a quiet life in the bush. But, if trail-biking/4wd is your
thing then this is a place for you also.

This caravan park is on land which rises steeply from the roadway. This is somewhat disconcerting when first arriving, as there
is no flat ground on which to park, near the office. In fact, the office is a tiny cubicle, barely noticeable near the entrance.
It was being refurbished at the time of our stay, and covered in plaster dust. Our check in was very casual. We had booked in
advance by telephone, but were told to drive on and take any site of our liking, and to worry about the paperwork and payment
later on. We paid $76.00 for a powered site for 4 nights. Cabins and tent sites are also available. There was no written site
plan or Park Rules. But we had no difficulty locating a good, flat site on a concrete pad, with water and power very adjacent.
Each site was well marked and has its own metal garbage bin and provision for sullage. A large number of permanents reside in
this caravan park, easily outnumbering the bona fide tourists. The large permanent population puts pressure on the toilet,
shower and laundry facilities as there is only one ablution block. A key is provided for this block, but the door was often
kept open. There is piped music in the toilet block, which I dislike. The laundry contains 3 washing machines and 2 dryers,
but they were in heavy demand on the days that I wanted to wash clothes, and I had to frequently return to the laundry until
a washing machine became vacant. There is plenty of clothesline space once you get access to a washing machine. The park
is neat and well maintained, with some nice floral displays near the entrance. There is no pool or kiosk. There is some
overnight traffic noise from trucks changing gears and braking, but it is a quiet atmosphere within the park. It is said
by management that this park is the closest caravan park to Toowoomba's CBD. This is probably the case, but it is still
a long walk, and there are no shops conveniently situated nearby, although a liquor shop and hotel are nearby. The hotel
serves excellent meals. This place is a good transit park or suitable for a stay of several days, but a city with Toowoomba's
population of nearly 100,000 deserves a better caravan park than this one.

Stayed 2 days, $19.80 per night powered site (TT discount). Very helpful and friendly reception. Entry was by
boom gate number,
and toilets were accessed by key. We were given site 59, which had a double concrete slab, for van and annex, and some afternoon
shade. We were near the central large amenities block and camp kitchen. The amenities were spotless and the laundry was very
large with 5 washing machines and 3 commercial dryers. Water pressure excellent. There were lots of clothes lines. I spoke to
Fred while he was cleaning the camp kitchen, and noticed how pedantic he was. This could also be seen in the amenities section.
Children's playground was small. There was no swimming pool. This was a large, green park with average sized sites with slabs,
most sites had some shade. Park had tar roads. The gutters to the sites were a little high to get up, but were ok. There were
lots of cabins, and some permanents dotted around the park. Good night lighting. The park was about a quarter full when we were
there, so we found it an excellent, quiet, clean, green park, with very helpful reception. It was also very close to shopping and
food shops. We would definitely stay again.

The caravan park is tidy and well kept. Bird aviary opposite the amenity block. The amenities are old but clean.
The north east corner would get some road noise at night.
There are some full slab sites but not very many. Others have a small piece of concrete as a stepping mat. We found
that adequate in our application.
A small number of drive-though sites. The land is not level and has quite a slope downwards.
There are indentations in the ground, where the trailer wheels are to be placed (which I imagine would only suit single
axle trailers). Using these indentations makes the van almost level.
Should you not use the indentations great care would need to be taken to chock the trailer wheels before attempting to
unhitch. Any small leeway with the trailer brake engaged would result in a dent to the towing vehicle for absolute certain.
Some shade in a couple of powered sites but on the whole quite open. In summertime it would be hot as the vans face a westerly aspect.
Large mown and vacant area immediately opposite and to the west. Has a BBQ and covered table and chairs, and basketball ring.
Excellent for exercising your pets.
Unfortunately, a residence which also abuts this area lets their two large dogs roam free and untethered. These dogs also enter
the caravan park and roam.
We could not let our dog off the leash in that vacant area because of these roaming dogs. That was the only downside to our
stay at this caravan park.
