This is a small, old style caravan park. Management were very friendly and helpful. We paid $22 for a powered site. The amenities were old but well maintained. Traffic noise was heavy in the early evening but not bad at night. There were only a few tourist sites, most sites were on site vans or permanents but the park was well organised, quiet and tidy. Entry was tight for vans over 20ft. Tourist sites were drive through. The park was quite suitable for an overnight stay close to Brisbane.

Report submitted by John and Lynne (14).

Manager's name is Val. The creek was running when we were there as they were releasing water from Moggera Dam for irrigation. Do not miss the walk to the top of the gorge as it is truly beautiful up there (just over 1 km from main part of campground). No town water, tank water pumped up from creek only. Bring your own drinking and cooking water. Basic cold showers - fill the bucket, pull the handle for a shower. Basic flush toilets. Wood bbq's, some basic tables and shelter sheds. Very quiet most weekdays but can get busy some weekends, phone first as some times it is booked out by 4WD clubs or other large groups and no more campers are allowed in so as to not get overcrowded. Price was lower than expected ($6 2A per night, unpowered).
Likes: The swimming hole at the top of the gorge

Report submitted by Gaz n Rob (38).

Unpowered camping only, at $3 per person. No town water, tank water only. Basic cold showers - fill the bucket, pull the handle, got a shower. Basic flush toilets. Reynolds Creek runs beside, supposedly suitable for swimming, but looked brackish when we were there due to drought, but evidently better swimming was up the road a bit. Fireplaces with tables. This is basic camping. Fireflys at night made it a bit magical. Very quiet. Ok for a day or two to explore the area. We used it as an overnight stop on the way to Brisbane.
Date 12/2008. Campground Rating 2: Perfect for an overnight, cheap stop.

Report submitted by Wayne & Shelley, Donnybrook Qld (22).

This park was full of permanents with little space for tourists; sites were on a slope and unlevel, water pressure was low, amenities were old and not very clean, our site was a "drive through", which meant drive through the gate to the showgrounds, but a car had parked in front of the gate which made exiting very difficult. The park manager was trying to find the car owner with no success, so we had to drive over shrubs to get out. Would not stay here again.

Report submitted by Young Nomads (5).

This is an old park that would be okay to overnight for about $16/$17 per night, but at the cost of $20 per night, it is below par. It is very clean, but that does not make up for the tired old amenities, and the lack of shelving in showers etc. Lights are on a timer so you have to be quick otherwise you could be soaped up and left in the dark. It is definitely not worth $20 per night. It is also very noisy being adjacent to the highway. Friendly management. Poor value for money. Average amenities, adequate number to cater for tourists, close to sites, were clean, there was adequate hot water. Average sites, drive-through sites were available, poor water quality, adequate sullage close by. Laundry, van parking by management. Park atmosphere was okay, open and roomy park. UC bbq (free), lit at night. Suitable for overnighter.
Dislikes: Overpriced at $20 per night

Report submitted by M and P Prior (1).

It is a showground, grassed powered and unpowered sites with water but no sullage, ours ran on the grass. Toilet and showers were basic but clean. The ground will take all size rigs. We stayed three nights. The price is good at $17.00 for a powered site for 2A and two dogs. Average staff friendliness. Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to only some sites, cleanliness was average, condition is good, water pressure is good, disabled facilities. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, shade to some sites, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by. Basic laundry, late checkout allowed, no wireless internet available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 5). Quiet, open & roomy park, not enough shade, too many permanents. No playground, no pool. Suitable for few days, well maintained park.
Likes: We were able to choose our own site in the middle of the oval away from every one which was good with the dogs, also a slight rise in the ground which was just as well as there was a massive thunder storm.
Dislikes: All the sites with shade and slabs were filled with permanents.
Roads: The roads are a joke, very bumpy and pot holed for the most part.

Report submitted by Not So Grays (62).

Manager's name is Wendy & Julian. Park would be quite tight in peak season when it apparently gets very full and you would definitely need to book, sites are very close together. Well designed although slightly tired amenities with very large showers and dry area, shower curtains, a small towel rail as well as hooks. Good hot water in showers but only lukewarm in basins. Plugs, soap and proper cloth hand towels provided for basins. Park is well grassed. Owners are very friendly and try hard to add value to your visit, guide all arrivals onto the site, have meals available several nights including yabby races once a week, cooked breakfast available on weekends. The meals even catered for gluten free requirements. $30 2A per night, powered. We paid $27 because of TT discount. Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, water pressure is good. Basic laundry, no rec room, basic camp kitchen, dump point, book swap available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 4). Plenty of shade, a few permanents. Clean UC gas bbq ($2), bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. No pool. Suitable for a week or more.
Likes: Friendly atmosphere.
Dislikes: $2 for 15 mins on the bbq is a bit steep. Internal roads are very narrow.
Local Information: Heaps to do in town, do day-time sun viewing at Cosmos Centre as well as night time star viewing. WW2 airbase convoy tour is excellent. Bilby experience is a bit weak, but at only $5pp you can't complain too much. Charleville has lovely soft artesian water.

Report submitted by Jeff & Sally (5).

Manager's name is Wendy O'Hern. It was extremely difficult to provide a really adequate report due to the weather conditions being extremely wet and cold. There was also a very large junior Rugby League carnival being held during our stay and all accommodation in Charleville was fully booked at the time. Very friendly staff, good staff response to complaints, staff offered tourist advice, staff helped us at the site, staff explained park layout and facilities.

Suitable for few days, suitable for families, well maintained park.

Parking: No just the driveway
Local Information: Quite a few local tourist attractions the least of which being the conducted tour of the old 2nd World War airbase. Great value for money. Book at the information centre.

Manager's name is Graham & Deb. This park is very new, so therefore the amenities are brand new (unisex), but if park was full (14 sites) they would not cope.

Report submitted by Baz&Mick (113).

This rating is for the overflow showground that is used by the Bailey and the Cobb & Co caravan parks. During peak times it is the only option for power if all three parks in the area are full. Compared to the caravan park the showground is quite open but vans need to clump together around the power boxes which have up to 6 outlets each. Showers and toilets are quite basic but typical of a showground. The price was quoted as $20 but by the time we got there the price had risen to $24 on agreement between both van parks. Asked about the family parks members discount but were told they would have to charge us the caravan park rate of $28 then take the discount off that. Friendly staff, bad staff response to complaints. Poor value for money ($24 2A per night, powered, peak season). Inadequate number of amenities, are close to only some sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable. Inadequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, poor night lighting, no sites with concrete annex slabs, no sites are shaded, drive-through sites.

Likes: Depending on the number of vans sites can be very roomy but in peak times things are a bit smaller but nowhere near as bad as some. The management seems to separate families with children from the nomads by cleverly dividing the park into different areas. Fantastic idea during school holidays.
Dislikes: If wet you can't escape the red mud but it is the outback so you have to expect that.

There is a new section to the park that is open without much shade. There is grass for each site around the outside but the middle has not been grassed yet and becomes muddy with rain. The amenities block is a demountable unit and includes a laundry. The old section is less appealing. The amenities block is old but the showers are clean. The laundry is in an open shelter. The area is more grassed than the new one. The management does not crowd the vans like some do. Friendly staff, van parking assistance provided by staff, staff explained park layout and facilities.

Likes: as we were there early in May it was quiet and waiting for the rush from S to begin. The park has a very relaxed atmosphere for people who just want to have peace and quietness away from it all for a day or two. Being out of town it has a feeling of security about it, it offers people the chance to view life on a cattle station with a tour of the farm on selected days. I enjoyed the idea of the shower and toilet in one unit even though the unisex idea wasn't for me. I loved the camp fire each night and the great wood barbies (wood supplied) and the camp kitchen is as good as it gets
Dislikes: the unisex toilet is a no from me and the number of toilets was a bit scarce even though we did beat that by going early but in the true peak season it would be a problem, apart from that I was quite happy with our 2 day stay
Parking: plenty of room to pull up and book if needed
Added Touches: not sure on the sausage sizzles
Local Information: we found Charleville an interesting town although I wouldn't like to live there.

This park is on a working property and a bit out of town so if you want to have easy access to the town it is a bit out of the way. But in the peak period the town parks were so full and busy that they were packed in like sardines. The park is only open during the travel period and apparently does not open to tourist during the summer months. During the season have an on-site manager. Very friendly staff, average staff response to complaints, staff helped us at the site. Reasonable value for money ($25.00 2A, powered, peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation, disabled facilities. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, no sites with concrete annex slabs, very few sites are shaded, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by.

Peaceful, open & roomy park, not enough shade, no permanents. No playground, no pool. Suitable for few days.
Likes: Peaceful and quiet park with very large sites facilities are unisex ensuite type which some people prefer. A gents urinal facility would relieve pressure on the facilities during busy times
Dislikes: Virtually no TV reception during our stays and even mobile reception was patchy during inclement weather. We had a problem with power and blew our TV and laptop during our two stays there, so need to take care with appliances.
Parking: Very good spaces to occupy during book-in.
Added Touches: Had nightly entertainment during the busy period. Also if you cannot get TV in your van, have satellite TV in the kitchen area.
Local Information: Property trips available on Tuesdays and Thursdays in the peak season.

Arrived at this park with our camper trailer and were told to just set up on an area indicated and sort out paperwork later. Very laid back and quiet atmosphere which suited our overnight stop. Noted that park appeared to be reasonably full of vans but we only wanted unpowered site and there was a large grassed area on which to set up. Better park than many others we stayed in and paid much more. Friendly staff, staff helped us at the site, staff explained park layout and facilities.

Plenty of space for pets to run. At $25 per night very expensive for a showground, but when all parks and free camps are full, as they often are with this being a growth area with a lot of permanents in the parks, this is a comfortable alternative. Amenities clean with good hot water pressure. Wheel chair access via ramp. Power and water available but need for long leads as taps are not close to power boxes. Flat and easy to access sites. Spacious when we were there. Pay when caretaker comes around.

Update - new owners (late 2009) have spent a lot of money in and around this park, a number of new ensuites, lots of landscaping and a new playground. There is a licensed restaurant onsite and this is run, like the park, as a family business. Two course meals for $17.50 per person and drinks at pub prices attracts many people, both park and town residents. This park is recommended for overnight or longer stays.

Manager's name is Rene & Brenda As we were at this park over the Easter weekend, the management had opened all caravan ensuite sites for general use to all park guests to help cope with extra traffic that the normal amenities block wouldn't have coped with. In addition, they had onsite in the bottom camp area Rent a Loos for the campers, so they didn't have to trek so far to the main block. I believe these managers have only been in this park coming up to 12 months. They do keep the park very well maintained, and I believe have further development ideas in the pipeline in regards to adding more ensuite van sites. There are currently 4 now. The manager Rene was very obliging in offering extra extension leads, hoses, wood chocks etc. Onsite the management runs a 'restaurant' certain nights of the week, and although we didn't eat there, everyone whom we spoke to that did, told as how great it was. Buffet style meal, roasts, vegies, dessert, tea/coffee all for around $17. It smelt fantastic throughout the campsite. Friendly staff, good staff response to complaints, van parking assistance provided by staff, staff helped us at the site, staff explained park layout and facilities. Price was lower than expected, very good value for money ($25 2A per night, powered, peak season). Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to only some sites, were clean, 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.

UC gas bbq, congenial bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. No playground. Clean pool is shaded, kid-safe pool area. Suitable for a week or more, suitable for families, well maintained park, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: We chose to have our van near the open space at the bottom of the park, which enabled our children plenty of running space to play cricket, kick a ball etc. The great congenial open fire area is great, near the dam on the property. Fire was burning at all times, and up to anyone to stoke as they wished. Marshmallows were great.
Parking: Excellent amount of space to park as you check in.
Added Touches: The amazing bird aviary at the front of the park certainly kept the kids amused and the deer on the adjoining property.
Local Information: At Easter you can visit the Highfields Pioneer Village and step back in time. Only a short drive from Crows Nest, and relatively cheap day's entertainment $20 approx for family entry. You can see old shops, machinery, sheep shearing, blacksmithing etc. Treat yourself to a Billy Tea and Damper - it was yum. Pancakes were good too.

Manager's name is Robyn Russell. With the number of working dogs about we are not sure about pets. Check when you book. This is a working sheep station and numbers allowed to camp will depend on what work is happening. The powered area is adjacent to the shearing shed and amenities are part of the shearers' quarters. There are two male toilets and showers and one female. There is a separate unpowered area about 8km further on at the artesian bore with only a pit toilet (dig your own pit and put the outhouse over). Very friendly staff, staff explained park layout and facilities. Good value for money ($25 2A per night, powered).

Likes: We liked the friendliness of the family who always stopped for a chat if passing. It was very peaceful and quiet. You can soak in the bore drains near the artesian bore and enjoy the warm mineral waters.
Added Touches: Open fires are allowed. At the quarters there is fire place with surrounding rustic seating. There is a hot plate you can put over the fire for a BBQ.
Local Information: You come here to get away from everything. The nearest tourist attractions are 50km away. There are a number of interesting things to see on the property. You need to be self sufficient in drinking water but you can supplement it from the water tanks at the quarters. Showers and toilets get their water from a local bore.
Roads: Both roads in from the highway are gravel and well maintained. They may be a bit difficult in the wet if towing a caravan. The grids need to be approached with care as they are a bit narrow, but adequate.

We paid $24 a night for a powered site. The current managers took over early in 2011 and are working hard to upgrade the park and they are very friendly and helpful. There are two renovated amenities blocks, which seem to be more than adequate in the busy season. They are well cleaned and the washing machines are new. The drive through sites are narrow but other sites are quite spacious and there is room for big rigs. There is no dump point but there is one at the showground. The water is from an old bore so it has a mineral taste. You can fill van tanks at the Information Centre from a much better new bore. Management provide a nightly communal campfire and generally create a pleasant and friendly atmosphere. The park is suitable for several days to explore the area. We would return.

Very well signposted on all approaches to town. This was a council owned park. Leased to current operators. We loved our overnight stay here. The girl at the front desk was wonderful and handed out a heap of local brochures on things to do and places to see. The amenities were spotless and the whole park has a great feel to it. It's stuck near the sand dunes up a dead-end street and has obviously been there for a while. All the same, we would be happy to stay here for a week or so and go exploring the outback from this location when next we travel up this way. People were friendly, the town clean and the bronze statue of the 'Cunnamulla Fella' is awesome. We enjoyed a 3 km walk around the outskirts, visited the 'Robbers Tree' and were impressed with both the town and the caravan park operators. Cost was $24.00 per night for 2A on a drive through powered site.

We stayed at this park for a quick overnighter and it was good for this purpose. They have large stark bitumen drive-thru sites that are very easy to negotiate and make for a quick get-away and these seem to be allocated to those folk only staying for a short time. There were grassed sites on the creek that were more pleasant for longer stays. Our stay was on a Saturday night and with a pub located right next door and the RSL just over the bridge, it was pretty noisy - you also get quite a bit of traffic noise. The amenities were very clean. Reasonable value for money ($40 2A 2C per night, powered). Noisy park. No playground, no pool.

A very old park, mainly permanent van sites (about 94%), 6 tourist sites, approx. 25ft vans would fit comfortably. Old amenities, run down, not sure who cleans them or when and if, as there is no signage indicating either. There are 3 amenities blocks through centre of park, not sure if there would be a peak season here to worry about overcrowding. Park is generally tidy but run down. Could be a nice little park with a lot of work and a lot of money. Good for overnight rest stop. Not great for families although there is a pool. Seems to be mainly inhabited by overseas seasonal fruit and veg pickers and possibly backpackers. Managers and workers could do with a personality transfusion, not unfriendly but not overly friendly or helpful. Average staff friendliness. $120 2A per week, powered, off-peak season. Inadequate number of tourist sites, some level sites, sites will accommodate medium to large vans. Basic laundry, basic rec room. Quiet, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, too many permanents.

I have never experienced such terrible customer service in my life. Definitely give this park a big miss as the staff are nothing but unfriendly! Don't think this is just a personality clash or something, every person I meet in the park experienced a similar level of service and lack of friendliness. Van's are in bad condition. They are old and only have very basic facilities. Vans are charged per person such that one van would cost over $350 for one week for 5 people. Anyway don't say you haven't been warned. Grab a snack or bar meal in the town and then head for a van park in Toowoomba instead! Very unfriendly staff, bad staff response to complaints. Price was as expected, poor value for money ($75 1A per week powered). Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to only some sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good. Basic laundry, basic rec room. Quiet, claustrophobic park, not enough shade, family/friendly atmosphere. No playground. Clean pool is open to sun, kid-safe pool area.
Likes: Other residents / guests were very nice and helpful.
Dislikes: Ridiculous totally inflexible rules imposed by the park managers. No real help with local information. Things promised for van never delivered on, like extra furniture.
Parking: Park has a reasonable sized visitor car park.
Local Information: Gatton seems to have some decent facilities for a small town. Coles, Target, a number of Pubs, banks, a bus rail service to Toowoomba and Brisbane. Plenty of farm work if you want it, but look around and read the contracts carefully.
Roads: Gatton is a short exit from the main Warrego highway, The quality of the road is good, more than enough.

Plenty of wineries in the area and there are some dams but fish are a bit scarce in the local area. Scenic bush walks, wildflowers and granite peaks to climb in Girraween National Park.
Roads: Good sealed road to the park and all areas that you are allowed to access in the park can be done in a normal car. Road to park just 2 lanes some parts narrow.

Managed by Department of Environment and Resource Management Qld. It was school holidays, and we had to book on the internet to secure a place. Could get two nights only as weekend was already fully booked. You cannot book a specific site, but have to get there early and take what you can find. Long drive through lanes designated for caravans which could at a squeeze (and a squeeze was needed) accommodate seven or eight rigs in one lane. These were sloped both back to front and sideways. A tap in each lane with untreated creek water, not suitable for drinking. Small amenities block totally inadequate for the size of camp. In both ladies and gents; disability access toilet and although one shower cubicle was larger, it wasn't set up correctly for wheel chair access and use. Hot showers (if you were early). Showers on a four minute timer to conserve water. With so many people including young children, amenities were probably cleaned daily, but were soon dirty again. Price was as expected, reasonable value for money ($10 2A per night, unpowered). Inadequate number of amenities, are close to only some sites, cleanliness was average, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was inadequate hot water. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly unlevel sites, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, no sites with concrete annex slabs, shade to most sites, drive-through sites, poor water quality, adequate taps close by.

$15 PN for power, $10 PN unpowered. Large grassy area, suitable for any size rig, but very little shade. Power boxes and toilets are locked. Telephone numbers on sign at gate - call for someone to come and collect the fees and open the facilities. Otherwise, someone comes around late afternoon to collect fees. Ladies & gents toilets, basic but clean. Hot shower is in the ladies, so it can be a bit difficult when the men want a shower. Can be a bit noisy with trucks on the road, but quietens down at night.

This park is a little bit out of town. The park is out in the industrial section of the town and has major roads on three sides, but they are some distance away and only minor truck noise on occasion. Flat drive through sites. Sites have low power capacity so you can't run the heater and boil the kettle as well. The amenities are old but passable - probably not up to the price of $25 a night after the discount. We weren't particularly taken by the feel of the park, lots of signs - don't do this, don't do that. Management forbid any ground covers and washing of vehicles. But perhaps the weather made us a bit cranky, cold winds during the day. The laundry equipment is old and poorly maintained. The welcome was professional but not very friendly (amazing how other people's experience is the opposite to ours - perhaps he doesn't like larger rigs ). The management obviously try hard with pancakes for breakfast one day and a fish dinner around the fire another night. Park is also dog friendly. The management are obviously struggling to keep the grass going and after some rain some sites were getting cut up quite a bit. Having a look around town this is probably the pick of them. Nice town. Museum for Gunsynd, the racehorse, worth a look. Will probably bypass this park and town next time.
Likes: Flat drive throughs.
Dislikes: Low power capabilities at sites. Old amenities and laundry for the price.
Parking: If you have a big rig, park just inside the entrance and walk to reception. The turn after reception is tight for larger rigs.

Also meals and cold beer at historic Heble Pub just across the road. Good outback atmosphere at pub. Hebel is a wind down and relax spot suitable for a couple of days.

Report submitted by PeterD (23).

This park was somewhat of a disappointment, the brochure gives the impression that the lake is close by, not just by the comment "..take a stroll to the lake.." - we think a 2.4km round trip is quite a 'stroll', but also the photos include the lake and dam wall and what appears to be a campground nearby. The park layout makes it quite difficult to see exactly where one should set up with what appeared to be only one tap per 3 or 4 sites. Also of concern was the general condition of the park, a clothesline not near the laundry but near one of the unsealed dusty roads, a playground consisting of a single set of swings, the top bar had broken long ago and was held together with fence wire. Not considered good value at $25 per night.

Upon arrival at check-in, a nearby staff member ignored us for nearly five minutes and was then less than pleasant. The caravan park about 100m down the road from the office was a good experience. It is next to the large working museum with sheep on display in pens nearby. There were no taps at the sites but you can fill your tanks with town water from a few designated taps. Large sites with easy access. New toilet block was good. Showers in a separate older block were reasonable until someone would turn on another tap and then the water was scalding hot.

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 mins 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 will return.

Although the price was well above the median price for parks in the region, the standard of this park was disappointing and certainly not what one expects from a BIG4 park. The reception at the office was friendly and helpful and local information was offered. However you were left to your own devices to find your own way from then on. The amenities were adequate and kept clean on weekdays but were not cleaned at all over the weekend that we were there. Grounds and gardens were poorly maintained. Bins were left overflowing. Despite signs to the contrary, dogs were allowed in the park. We felt that this park was poor value for money. Unfortunately the only alternative to this park in the town was not available due to the annual show being on but given the price difference and the standard of this park we would look to the alternative in the future. Price was higher than expected, poor value for money ($27 2A per night, powered, off-peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people.

They are cleaned but badly need a coat of paint. Minimal traffic noise. Laundry available. Suitable for two or three days. No tours of Peanut Factory. Best available is a video at the Visitor Information Centre.

Good place to stay with a big rig, being showgrounds, there's plenty of room. Coming in the main gate next to the office is a bit tricky for anything bigger than most caravans. Also, you need a 10 amp-15 amp adaptor - the power is 15 amp but it doesn't have 15 amp plugs here, probably because the power points are not just used for caravans. If you park near the easy gate which is to the left of the office, it's roomy but a bit of a hike to the facilities. If you want to be closer to them, go to the right of the office but it's a busier area. Also, like most showgrounds, it's wise to check on what events they have coming up that might impinge on your peace and quiet - they host speedway here. Also pony club events (I just wish they'd clean up after their horses like we do after our dog; The flies the next day are terrible). That's not the fault of the people who run the caravan park side however, they are very helpful. Good value for money ($20 2A per night, powered).
Local Information: If you go to the Bunya Mountains, we suggest going via Kumbia, through the mountains, then take the road to Maidenwell (the 6kms of unsealed is not on the steep bit). The late lunch we had at Maidenwell Trading Post was excellent; great food, nicely presented, good prices and warm friendly service. Can't take your van with you of course as the mountain roads are too steep and winding, but from Maidenwell it's an easy run back to Nanango and Kingaroy. However, be aware that even after lots of rain, the falls may not be falling. It was dry in Paradise when we got there, but the rainforest walk was nice. Both Maidenwell and Kumbia offer free places to park your van for 48 hours if you want to spend more time in the Bunyas.

Nominally a free camp area in the town maintained by the local community. Power is available but you are asked for a donation if you use it. Toilets and showers also available with coin in the slot showers. 48 hour limit. Excellent stopover point on the inland route north. Sites are level and well maintained.

This is an untidy park that is well laid out but oozing neglect, particularly among the permanent sites. It would seem that very little money has been spent on maintenance around the park for some years. The park is 90% permanents and there are very few tourist sites. The amenities were old but were clean. It is very poor value for money and we will not be staying again. Poor value for money ($25 2A per night, powered, off-peak season). Suitable for overnighter.

This small area is council run, has about 8 powered sites on creek bank, water to each power pole (4 taps per pole). $5 for first night, then 2 free nights. Toilets and showers over the road. Walking distance to main street and hotel that has great meals. This area is level and is an ok spot for a few days. The caravan park is also council owned and the saving in dollar terms over 3 days ($10) is probably better value because of better facilities and free washing machine.

Manager's name is Brian. Gave this park a 3.5 rating back in 2008 and while this is still a nice little park to stay in, Brian needs to lift his game. We rang up two months in advance of our proposed stay to request the same site we have had for the past 5 years. Brian said "No problems". I confirmed the dates and site number and Brian said it was marked in the book. Turned up on the due date only to be told we couldn't have our requested site. Not a major calamity however I think a confirmed booking is a confirmed booking. Something other caravanners should consider if they book a site at this park.

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.

There is much to like about this park. It is a large park in a great location with some excellent facilities but which is marred by a far too relaxed attitude of managers and amenities that are well passed their use-by date. Friendly staff. Poor value for money ($25 2A per night, powered, off-peak season). Inadequate number of amenities, are close to most sites, were clean, condition is poor, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, poor night lighting, concrete annex slabs to some sites, shade to most sites. Quiet, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, no permanents. Suitable for a week or more.
Likes: Space. Ease of access to the dam (two boat ramps)
Dislikes: Aged and outdated amenities.
Parking: Plenty of parking
Local Information: A number of wineries nearby
Roads: Hwy conditions from all directions.

Manager's name is June and Ray. I am not sure if van parking assistance is usual procedure or as in our case the site was made difficult to access because of a badly located tree. Price includes family park discount and was for ensuite site. Present owners have improved the park in recent years (it was full of "ferals" years ago). Friendly staff, van parking assistance provided by staff. Price was as expected, good value for money ($20.70 2A per night). 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. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, average sized sites, concrete annex slabs, hard to negotiate into site, poor water quality, adequate taps close by.

Manager's name is Alec and Fiona. The lake is stocked with bass, golden perch & silver perch and requires a permit to fish (available from the kiosk). The lake is used by fishermen, water skiers, canoes and swimmers. There are 2 caravan parks. One which overlooks the dam and is set high up close to the dam wall and lookout and is aptly named The Lookout. The sites are large with an amenities block and laundry central to all sites. A tennis court is available for guests as well. Not all sites get a view of the dam. The Lookout is generally quite peaceful. The other caravan park is named The Terrace and is located closer to the lake. Close by are 2 amenities blocks, a laundry and a kiosk. The water's edge in only around 100m from The Terrace. Unpowered camping is available with no designated camping sites so you can choose to set up right by lakeside if you wish, or choose a quieter area around the 6 knot area of the lake. The kiosk has basic provisions and also includes both leaded and premium unleaded fuels. Diesel is no longer available. The closest diesel would now be at Hivesville. The kiosk also has a swap-n-go gas exchange. There are 4 amenities blocks around the lakeside camping, 3 with showers and toilets and 1 with toilets only near the park. There is a camp kitchen available and also bbqs in the park area. All amenities blocks are cleaned daily with a good supply of hot water and good water pressure. Potable water is available throughout the grounds. Due to the dam being almost full now, availability of unpowered sites has diminished. Views of the lake vary depending on campsite chosen. There are also 5 self contained cabins lakeside and a bunkhouse up top overlooking the dam. 2 boat ramps are available for launching boats and be warned the Fisheries Department do make regular trips at the dam, so ensure licences are in date, crab pots are named and fish and red claw taken are all legal sizes and quantities. Fees - The Terrace - powered $24 per night; The Lookout - powered $24 per night; Lakeside - unpowered $16 per night. Stay 7 nights and pay for only 6.

Manager's name is Dennis. We were originally booked into this park, but when we arrived we were told that the park was closed - their computer had crashed, new owners had just taken over and they had a 2 ft flood inundate the park two days earlier. The water had receded but there was still a lot of mud about. The park is usually booked solid over the Easter period, but due to the floods, all caravans were evacuated and the park closed. When we arrived, we were invited to stay in the reduced conditions. So we opted to stay. There were only two other travellers staying in the caravan park site. The park also had motel units and onsite vans which were not affected and these were all booked out. As a gesture of goodwill, Dennis the new manager of only two days, invited everyone to a free BBQ in the camp kitchen and what a BBQ it was. He put a lot of effort into the salads, the choice of meats, snags, steak, chicken, shaslick - he did the works. Hard to give an accurate description of amenities etc simply because they were still busy cleaning up after the floods. Dennis and his team had cleaned the toilets and shower area internally and it was spotless despite the water level marks still visible on the outside of the building. Dennis and his team should be given full marks for the hospitality they showed during such a horrific start for them. We'll certainly be coming back here again and hopefully be able to report on the usual things in better objective manner. Cost was $29.00 per night for 2A on a powered site.

Typical of outback park. Has basics, not much grass and some sites are gravel. Some site numbers are mixed up so it would have saved a number of problems with people on wrong sites if they fixed them up or showed people to the correct site.

A huge skip bin was in the side street full of tree limbs, rubbish etc and he is starting to put in new plants. The driveways in the park and very clean and the concrete surrounds have been painted white which look good. Give them 12 months and the park should be absolutely beautiful.

Report submitted by Adele & Chazz Pearce, Managers.

New managers took over 2 weeks ago, they seem to be struggling a bit - soap containers in amenities didn't get refilled one day, most of the park lights weren't working and they didn't know how to fix. Hopefully they will settle in a bit better in the coming period. We were told when booking that no ensuite sites were available, but there were ones empty for the whole time we were there. Sites have a gravel bay for the van, concrete annex slab and reasonably grassy areas in between. Amenities have nice large shower cubicles with curtains, ample hooks and bench space and rubber mats. Friendly staff, good staff response to complaints, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities. $32 2A per night, powered. We paid $28.80 because of BIG4 discount. Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to most sites, were clean, 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 medium to large vans, shade to some sites, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Basic laundry, basic camp kitchen, late checkout allowed, dump point, van parking, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 4). Quiet, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, no permanents. Clean UC gas bbq (free), bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. Good playground. Clean heated pool, tables and chairs provided.

Easter is never a good time to be in parks but nevertheless everything should be well maintained throughout the year. We had a van on either side of us, as usual, when the manager tried to park another van in front of us blocking any thought of exit for our van. Average staff friendliness, average staff response to complaints. Price was as expected, reasonable value for money ($29.00 2A per night, peak season).

Good playground in good condition. Clean pool is shaded, kid-safe pool area, tables and chairs provided. Suitable for families.
Dislikes: Grass wasn't cut, inexcusable on Easter weekend. Bindies throughout the grass. We were given an overflow site but were not told this when booking. Many sites on gravel not grass with very few slabs.
Local Information: Easter in the Country obviously attracts many tourists.

Manager's name is Julie and Geoff. A lovely well kept park in the Somerset Dam village. Sites are large, well grassed and generally level. Sealed roads throughout. Toilets and showers only in the park; no laundry. Booking is done through general store across the road from the park. Very good value for money - $20 per night per vehicle (up to 5 people); $6 per night per person for pensioners. Park is very popular with fisher people and water skiers year round. Bookings essential for long weekends. On negative is that the toilets are open to the travelling public and are heavily used on weekends and consequently become untidy. They need additional cleaning than they got during our visit. Great park and we will visit again. Friendly staff, staff explained park layout and facilities. Good value for money.

We received a friendly welcome and were escorted to the camping area to select our site. There are powered and unpowered absolute riverfront sites in a peaceful and spacious bush setting.

There is a small laundry with washing machine ($2 a load) and tub. The amenities are about 150 m from the riverfront sites; however, there are large powered sites nearby. Most of the sites are roomy and there is room for large rigs. There is plenty of shade with some sites screened by plants. We enjoyed our 3 night stay and will definitely stay again.

This is a very basic caravan park with a decrepit, old, really poor amenity block that needs to be flattened & started again. For $22 per night it's way over priced; the other parks are better value or camp out on the road for a freeby. Another annoyance is the noise from the barrage (bridge) metal plates which bang when cars cross the river not to mention the noise of the constant cattle trucks & road trains. Adding to the bad state of the amenities is the bore water used for the showers & hand basins; it smelled bad with sulphur plus the town water wasn't all that good either. Be warned to make sure you have a couple of 2-4 litre containers to collect drinking water from the rain water tank. Average staff friendliness, average staff response to complaints. Poor value for money ($22 2A per night, powered, shoulder season).

Located on Storm King Dam this is a large park with a powered area and a separate non-powered area as well as cabins. The sites are large and all drive-through with slabs and wheel tracks however the site we were on had the utility poles sited right beyond the wheel tracks which made access and exit difficult. Some other sites appeared to have the same design fault. The staff were friendly and helpful when asked but were mainly office bound. There are timed showers but the amenities coped well with a full park. There is not much foliage in the park and it is exposed when the winds blow. We will definitely stay again. Friendly staff, staff offered tourist advice Reasonable value for money ($156 2A per week, powered, off-peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, annex slabs to most sites, no sites are shaded, drive-through sites. Basic laundry, good rec room, dump point. Quiet, open & roomy park, not enough shade, no permanents. Suitable for a week or more, suitable for families, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: Plenty of room to move. Large sites each with its own fire pit.
Dislikes: No benches in the showers - a pet peeve of ours.
Local Information: With wineries, food outlets and wonderful scenic drives there is plenty to amuse everybody for a week or more.

Report submitted by Kevin from Queensland (3).

This is a lovely park in a very rural setting but when I booked in I asked for an ensuite site and was told "sorry they are booked out, would you like the key to the handicapped bathroom instead?" That was a lovely offer, but the whole time we stayed there, nobody used the ensuite sites at all. Seemed to us that they may not have been cleaned, so staff were too lazy to help, or if there was a maintenance issue, the truth would have been better than us seeing no vans or tent at the sites at all during our stay. We have used these ensuite sites previously and whilst they are small, they are in a really gorgeous part of the park and well worth the visit. Friendly staff, average staff response to complaints, staff offered tourist advice, staff helped us at the site, staff explained park layout and facilities. Good value for money ($29 2A per night, powered, off-peak season). We paid $26 because of chain discount. Amenities are close to all sites, were clean, condition is very good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, separate bathroom, dry change area, paper towels/dryer provided, disabled facilities. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate medium to large vans, annex slabs to some sites, shade to some sites, ensuite sites available, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Basic laundry, no rec room, good camp kitchen, disabled facilities, dump point, no wireless internet available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 5).

I booked my site and paid a deposit and was quoted a rate, when I booked in, the rate had increased a few days before, and I was expected to pay the increased rate, even though I had a confirmed rate and paid a deposit. When I asked why, the girl at reception said it was a hospitality thing but I wouldn't know that, in which I replied I would as I had worked in hospitality for 15 years and hotels/serviced apartments for the past 10 years. She then tried to say something else, making it worse with each attempt. Was very unimpressed with her excuses and the increase. They did not even have the common courtesy to inform me of the increase via email. Everyone I have told said that when quoted a rate and paid a deposit the quoted/confirmed rate stays. It marred my holiday with the extra I had to pay per night. Average staff friendliness, bad staff response to complaints. Price was much higher than expected, poor value for money ($35 1A per night, ensuite, off-peak season). Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, poor night lighting, average sized sites, concrete annex slabs to some sites, shade to most sites, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Good laundry. Peaceful, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, family/friendly atmosphere, no permanents. Suitable for few days.
Likes: It was a big park, nice view from some points of the park.
Dislikes: The price increase, the ensuites were in the middle of nowhere, travelling by myself, I was glad of my neighbour, otherwise would not of felt safe, bush surrounding me. The ensuite was one of the smallest I have ever been in. Washing machine price is high at $4 per load.

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.

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.

Added Touches: We were there at Easter and they had an Easter egg hunt for the kids.

Great for the pets as lots of walking track etc. Manager's name is Peter & Lisa Souter. It is a very peaceful bushland camp site with to do if you wish to do something other than sit in peace. Lots for kids to do with a great playground and swimming hole and of lots of creek space to explore. It is a very friendly park. I am taken back with how they have got it up and running so very nicely after the floods that came through here last year. It is a gravel all weather road in but is going to be fixed. We will be back for sure. Staff offered tourist advice, staff helped us at the site, staff explained park layout and facilities. Very good value for money ($28 normal and $39 peak period, children $5 (4-15 yrs) 2A, powered, peak season). We paid $15 because of pensioner. Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to most sites, were clean, condition is very good, there was adequate hot water, extra charge for shower, soap provided, paper towels/dryer provided. Adequate number of tourist sites, some level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate medium to large vans, no sites with annex slabs, shade to most sites, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by. Basic laundry, no rec room, good camp kitchen, late checkout allowed, kiosk, disabled facilities, no wireless internet available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 5). Peaceful, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, a few permanents. Clean UC electric bbq (free), congenial bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. Excellent playground in good condition. No pool. Suitable for a week or more.
Likes: We found it peaceful and friendly with lots to do if you want to.
Dislikes: sharp turn at the bottom of a slope to go into the park. Still not put off by it.
Roads: Dirt road to camp site but well graded

Very friendly staff, staff explained park layout and facilities. Reasonable value for money ($30 2A 2C per night, unpowered, 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, extra charge for shower, disabled facilities. Adequate number of tourist sites, some unlevel sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate medium to large vans, no sites with annex slabs, shade to most sites, hard to negotiate into site, no rec room, kiosk, disabled facilities, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 4). Peaceful, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, a few permanents. UC bbq (free), bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. No pool. Suitable for few days, suitable for families
Likes: Lovely bush feel to the park, although it is less than 2 hours from Brisbane CBD. Open fires were a lovely touch. The creek-lines sites looked like the place to be.
Dislikes: We were placed in the unpowered overflow area due to the recent rain in Qld, and while the sites were extremely large, we were over 200m away from the amenities.
Added Touches: Open fires were allowed in rock-lined pits.
Roads: Road conditions into the site should be mentioned to all who book, though were not. The road is dirt and in largely good condition even 2 days after constant rain. However, a water (culvert) crossing is just before entering the park and the road immediately after the culvert should be cautioned as it is very steep. We required assistance with our 2WD pulling a camper trailer as we got stuck on the hill and nearly slid backwards, despite being told a 2WD would have no problems entering the park. Thankfully a passing visitor towed our camper to the park for us. The road on leaving was similar, though as we were once bitten, twice shy, we were prepared.

Report submitted by phil@rocky (5).

This is a caravan park to avoid. You'll only come here by accident and then only once. Some nice green open spaces surround the dismal caravan sites area. Mostly populated by permanents in a variety of rigs that would look at home in a shanty town and some interesting souls wandering about usually late in the day when the hangovers have worn off. Management seem to have nailed the fine art of doing the absolute minimum and then putting that off till the bins are overflowing and can't be ignored any more. Amenities are woeful. Don't even think of coming here if you're the least bit oversized; you won't fit in the showers or toilets. On the plus side amenities are kept clean by one of the permanents. There are handtowels and soap provided and the lights work. There is lots of hot water but it will soak the drying area - a 2m x 1m rectangle squashed between the shower curtain and the door. Stayed a week but left earlier.

I chose this park because I thought it might be away from the highway, but you can still hear the trucks. The van park is old & tired. Level sites are hard to find and there are no slabs. The amenities were old and tired - we didn't have showers because they were so decrepit and not well sealed for the cold weather. Good management, friendly management, management was helpful. Amenities were clean. Drive-through sites were available. Quiet, open and roomy park. Suitable for overnighter.
Likes: There is plenty of space, but the vans sites are down the hill.
Dislikes: Everything is just old & tired - BBQ was unusable.
Local Information: You need to drive into Warwick because it's about 2 km to the centre, and the park has a rural setting.

Report submitted by Flattout from Brisbane (8).

Local Information: The drive to Queen Mary Falls, just outside Killarney, is well worth the effort.

Manager's name is Tony & Majella Kahler. The weather today at Warwick was very cold. After spending a couple of weeks in Brisbane with gorgeous weather it was hard to take the cold again. Friendly staff, staff helped us at the site, staff explained park layout and facilities. Reasonable value for money ($30.00 2A per night, powered, peak season). We paid $27.00 because of BIG4. Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, separate bathroom, 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 and 5th wheelers, annex slabs to some sites, shade to some sites, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by. Good laundry, good rec room, good camp kitchen, dump point, no wireless internet available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 4).

Clean pool, tables and chairs provided. Suitable for month or longer, suitable for families, well maintained park, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: Roomy. Easy to find. We experienced some problems with the spare wheel carrier area and had to do some repairs. Park owners and fellow caravanners were helpful. Also TV reception was not good but the caravanner guys got together and helped each other. Although the weather was on the cool-side I believe this park would be a fantastic place to stay during the warmer period.
Dislikes: The dump point is located between 2 caravan sites.
Parking: Parking outside booking office.
Local Information: Warwick is known as the Rose City. Warwick Rodeo is in October. Jumpers & Jazz Festival is held in July. Warwick hospital is 500m from park. Warwick shopping centre is not within walking distance of park. For those who have LPG in their cars, the only one is in Wallace Street between the park and hospital.
Roads: We came through the cattle country. The roads are absolutely atrocious. Qld Road Board needs to get their act together. We have country roads back home (WA) and they are no-way in the condition as we have driven on since coming to Qld. If you want to see the countryside and places of interest, the motorway is not the place to drive.
