Likes: Only caravan park in town, therefore we were a captive audience. Manager did offer to provide laptop computer
email dial-up facility through his fax line.
Dislikes: Adjoining saw mill is noisy from 8 to 5 week days & Saturday mornings. Facilities are a little tired, but
manager claimed to have been there for only a couple of weeks (from early April 05) so things might improve with a little
capital injection.

Friendly, owner showed us to our site and gave us a choice.
Power, water, sullage and TV coax to sites - we borrowed a coax from the office (free), otherwise no TV reception at all.
Very shady. Clean shaded pool, toddlers pool. Free clean UC gas bbqs. 2 amenity blocks, key-punch coded (why?).
A couple of en-suites are available at $10 extra per night. I only visited one amenity block, just 2 showers and
3 toilets, no urinal in men's. Soap and paper towels supplied. Garbage and recycle bins handy. Cabins and on-sites
available. Kiosk with ice, and movie rental. Rec room, camp kitchen. Good playground. Water pressure at site taps abysmal.
Local Information: Don't have the scones at the Bright Bakery in the main street - they were like rock cakes.
A nice easy walk is the Canyon Walk along the riverside, about 1.5 hours. A drive up to Mt Buffalo is a must.
A walk up to The Horn (1.5 kms return from the top car park, and not too difficult) gives 360o views all the way to Mt Kosciusko - brilliant!

A very large site in superb condition. Many statics but all well looked after. The only poor looking one was removed during
our visit! Large drive through sites, absolutely spotless amenities (only 1 open this time of year so can't comment on others).
Many mature trees (but not enough to be intrusive), well maintained grass, and other facilities. Morse Creek splits the sight
into two with pedestrian swing bridges, stepping-stones and a normal road allowing access to both sides. Short walk to town but
site was very quiet at this time of year. Hard to judge how it will be in middle of high season. Only down side was $27/night
2 Adults which is very steep for off-season. Wood fires and drums available complete with kindling and wood from site but at
$20 each we thought that was a rip off and didn't bother. Would have rated higher other than costs.
Suitable for a long term stay as the surrounding area is magnificent with a good mix of mountains, shops, wineries and restaurants.
Staff very friendly and helpful.

One of the better parks I have stayed in. Nice trees gardens & green lawn - no dust or mud. Our camper
trailer fitted on the concrete annex slabs. These sites were smallish but car fitted in front ok. Our 7yo loved
the tennis court, pool and rec room (lights are on a timer to go off at 10pm). The rec room also houses the free
covered gas BBQ with tables and seats, awesome camp kitchen and air conditioned TV room. There were sponges at all
vanities and mops to clean shower floor after use. The laundry area also had lots of clothes lines. A little more
expensive but well worth it.

Very attractive and well maintained park with selection of en-suite and drive-through sites. The en-suite bathrooms are
the largest we have come across and each block of en-suite sites share a large laundry. Swimming pool and camp kitchen with

There are many caravan parks that should come and have a look to see what can be provided for under $30. There are 8 ensuite
sites and about 28 powered sites, plus a number of cabins and apartments. Discounts to members of RACV and affiliated motoring
organisations. There were only 4 showers and 4 toilets in the amenities block - that was okay for the number of sites in use
when we were there, but may not be if all sites were booked.

The new owners have been there only a few months and they assured us that
they have a lot of work to do. They were very friendly and showed us a site. The park was
well grassed with a lot of shade, mostly level, there were no slabs. It was quiet when we
were there. The lighting at night was poor, and there were no restrictions from public access.
We disliked a dog running loose and had to clear droppings on our site. The toilets and
showers were old but clean – although I found that if I chose the wrong cubicle I got the
'wash' from the guy upstream. Paper towels and soap were provided at the washbasins.
There was a good supply of hot water with large shower roses. The fee was $18 for 2 adults.
The tourist drive to Towong and Walwa was well worth doing as it provided scenes of the
Murray River, the green valley and snow-capped mountains in the distance. Spring is a good
time for scenic views. The park was suitable for our two-day stay. We would stay again.

Likes: It is a large park, very clean and tidy, amenity blocks were constantly cleaned, pool area was fantastic, bbq area
was excellent, with communal fridges, bbq, kitchen facilities to wash dishes, microwaves.
Dislikes: There is only one amenity block for the whole park, with a lot of people staying in tents it would have been good
to have another amenity block down were all the people staying in tents could have had easy access. We had a powered caravan site
next to the amenity block which was great but would have been disappointed to have to wander during the night to go to the
amenities block if staying in unpowered tent site. The kiosk was not equipped enough it had a few basic items. Boathaven
would excel if they had maybe a cafe or the like.
Parking: no.
Added Touches: We stayed over the Easter period there were movies on at approximately 8pm every night on the grassed area
near reception but maybe an Easter egg hunt for the little kids would have been great.
Local Information: This park is located on Lake Hume, which at high water peak time would have been fantastic but as there
is a drought there was water in the Lake but not a lot but if you were interested in water sports there is ample enough water still for fun.

A real gem! This little park is largely given over to on-site cabins and vans used by annual
holiday makers so it is fairly quiet out of season. However, we stayed early December and apart from some fruit pickers
it was still fairly empty. Murchison is well situated for visiting Shepparton (and the Ardmona SPC factory sales outlets)
without the higher prices charged by some of the other surrounding parks in and around Shepparton. Very friendly staff,
staff helped us at the site, staff explained park layout and facilities. Price was lower than expected, very good value

maintained park, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: Great price $63.00 for a week for two people, plus dogs were allowed. Well maintained gardens, good walking

Average sites with plenty of shade. Some sites have concrete slabs for annexes. Most sites with grass
covering, some do not have any due to being totally covered by trees. Modern clean amenities close to most sites. Cubicles in
both showers and toilets are quite dark. Water tends to go everywhere as the drainage is inadequate. Lights are on a timer and
quite often you are left in the dark in the middle of your shower, all covered in soap. No soap or hand dryers provided. Park
is split into two sections - tourists one side of the road, permanents the other which is great as you do not see the permanent
vans at all. Free BBQ's. Good playground. No pool. Dogs allowed, some were on leashes, the others wandered around the
campsites leaving their messes behind with no owners following to clean it up. Walking distance to town. Owners friendly.

A fairly tired park very close to the centre of town. Nice setting with large mature trees providing plenty of shade but many
old dirty, untidy permanents spoil the look of the place. Facilities were basic to say the least and the toilets/showers whilst
painted were a bit dirty and not inviting at all. Cheap at $18 per night 2A I suppose. Try the other one in Myrtleford before this
one as it looked more appealing. Superb restaurant at The Range about 2 kms away is well worth a visit.

The park has had a total renovation - so all the amenities, facilities, play ground, rec room, kiosk are all new. They are still
doing works on the place. We had a ensuite site - I believe there are at least 12 or more ensuite sites available. They also have
a licensed cafe - kiosk, internet cafe's, 2 huge plasma TV's in the rec room, pool tables. The place was just great, we enjoyed
ourselves as well as our children. Highly recommend to all.

Added Touches: Wineries, river cruisers, skiing, fishing, boat hire, markets, Ned Kelly history, Gemstone museums, not far to
travel to Shepparton and take the kids to kids town, Murchison, and not too far to Echuca - we found there was a lot for us to do.

Manager's name is Stuart and Cheryl Christmas.
Poor management. Poor value for money. Very poor amenities, there was adequate hot water.
Average sites, adequate number of tourist sites, sites were level.
Laundry, rec room, kiosk, van parking by management.
Park atmosphere was okay, too many permanents for this park. Dogs allowed. UC gas bbq (free).
Basic playground in poor condition.
Suitable for a few days.
Likes: Shady, backs onto Ovens & Buckland Rivers which makes it easily accessible for swimming or paddling
Dislikes: Owner's attitudes. Not contactable, unhelpful. Office closed more than open. Toilet block should have been
pulled down and replaced years ago. Toilets backed up and overflowed. Not enough toilets and only cleaned once a day which
is inadequate during peak holiday times. Rubbish not removed daily. Too many teens wandering late at night which makes it a
noisy park. Too many drivers speed thru park in cars.
Added Touches: None. Hamburger van visits once a week. Church entertainment group entertains kids in afternoons.

and happy hours.

We rang to enquire of a vacant site, and was asked how many people. "2 Adults and 2 children." The lady asked
how old the kids were. "12 and 14". She told us a price of $27. When we got there and were booking in, she asked
for $40. Huh? She said the $27 was for adults only. We had also enquired of another caravan park, which was $2 dearer,
and on principle we said no thanks to Mt Buffalo's uncaring "tuff luck" attitude and went to the other park.
We had to drive all the way around the park to get back out. The place was packed, and there were hundreds of kids
everywhere. We probably would not have liked staying here anyway, as it was too crowded for our liking.
Incidentally, as were negotiating our way around/out the park, the manager asked if he could help us, so we told him what happened.
He also had a "couldn't care less" attitude, much like the lady at the desk who had blatantly told us the wrong price.

A truly picturesque caravan park. We visited over the May Bright Autumn festival weekend and stayed the following week.
The autumn hues of the many trees in the park filtering the autumn sun's rays created an atmosphere that invited you to slow
down and relax. The management and staff were friendly and advised us on where to go and what to do, what restaurants and
attractions to visit and the like. Bright is a beautiful town and it is surrounded by tree covered mountains including the
picturesque Mount Buffalo National Park. The people of Bright and surrounding district were, without exception, warm and friendly.
Most weeknights at the Porepunkah pub, 10 minutes walk along the banks of the Ovens River from the caravan park, cheap eats
were on offer. This meant that just about everybody from the district congregated there to dine and have a yarn. We were
treated as though we were locals and loved every minute of it. All-in-all a great holiday experience and one we will repeat again next year!

Possibly the friendliest welcome we have ever had to a caravan park. We had a great 4 night stay here and would recommend it highly.
If you enjoy cycling, as we do, it is a perfect spot with the Alpine rail trail 100 metres from the park. You can ride from Wangaratta
to Bright if you wish. We found the park facilities to be first class with large sites, some with ensuite facilities. An excellent pool,
camp kitchen and playground also featured. The office/shop stocks basic food items, ice creams etc as well as many local wines. The
park is dog friendly, although our pooches stayed home for this trip as we explored to local area by bicycle. A ride to the local wineries
is well worth the effort. A short bike ride into Bright (6km) finds many cafes and eateries. Plenty to see and do all year round.

Manager's name is Sue and Gary Featherstone.
We are not OzParks members, but were charged $23.50 for the first night (Fri) and $20 each for Sat & Sun nights,
2A powered site - cannot complain about that. Park overlooks Lake King, which was very low (<5%) due to the drought -
still picturesque, though. Amenities were very clean, although the changing/drying area was not separated from the shower
so got wet. This is not a large park, and has cabins, permanent/private on-site caravan sites (very few being used) and
some tourist sites - it may pay to book ahead. Most sites are gently sloping, but of good size. Unfortunately, due to the
ongoing drought, the lawns are poor and most sites are basically on dust. There are 2 electric (pay) BBQ's in the grounds,
but these appear not to be used because there are 2 free gas BBQ's in the camp kitchen area, which is clean, well lit
and has sufficient seats and tables. The park grounds slope gently towards Lake King, and should not be a safety concern
for watchful parents. There is a good playground in the adjacent park, and local swimming pool next door, but this is
only open in warmer months. Also adjacent are tennis courts, bowling green and golf course. The main street of Rutherglen
is only a short walk away.

Great little site in beautiful quiet setting adjacent to Lake King, which has wildlife galore. Large shady trees on grass
sites (well it would be grass if it ever rained here!). Sites are not really well defined which adds to the character of the
place as people put their vans in the best position to take advantage of the views over the lake. Managers are really helpful
and keep the place spotlessly clean. Amenities are similar - top class. Public swimming pool next door, centre of Rutherglen

We hired an overnight van at this park. We pulled in late and we'd prepaid. Everything inside was awful. The floor was ingrained
with grease and the roof in the bedroom area appeared to be smeared with blood. Everything was covered in a thick coating of dust
and the seats were black with filth. The windows did not close and the curtains were torn and filthy. The divider between the
'bedroom' and the living area was a dirty sheet. Right outside the bedroom was a huge filthy stinking sewer. The manager appeared
to have wired it himself and there was cable open under the bed and in the cupboards. There were exposed broken light fittings with
no globes. The list goes on but basically it was the worst I've ever seen. I can accept old in budget accommodation but this was appalling.
Bad staff response to complaints, poor value for money ($40 2A per night).

A very basic campground in a very good setting, beside the King River with fishing, swimming holes and a few rapids
for the kids to play in. Sites were not defined, and due to the drought were all covered in dead grass. Mature trees
offer shade in most areas. Limited power points and even more limited water points (take long hoses!). Amenities were
very old but spotlessly clean so age didn't really matter. Basic BBQ area, open fires welcome. Owner was very
friendly as were all the locals staying there. Plenty of wild life in a quiet tranquil setting. We would return for
a relaxing weekend. There are wineries galore within a short distance. If you do go - a must is dinner at nearby
Renaldo's restaurant - superb! Good value, clean honest and basic campground in a beautiful part of Victoria.

Well maintained park. The park is very small and caters mainly for the onsite
cabin trade - having only eight casual sites. Any traveller with a large rig - 13m or more - would find it a hard place
to manoeuvre round the cabins. The grounds however are nicely kept and the amenity block was clean. The owner does not
live on site and staff fall a bit short of being helpful. While we were there the office was hardly open. Management was
friendly. A refundable key fee is charged. Average staff friendliness, average staff response to complaints. Price was
as expected, reasonable value for money ($22 2A per night powered). 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 and there was adequate hot water.
Inadequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, small sites, drive-through sites, hard to
negotiate into site, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Basic laundry. Noisy, claustrophobic park,
not enough shade, too many permanents. Dogs on leash.
Park Rating 2.5: Suitable for overnighter.
