Report submitted by Zesty (14).

This is an overnight stop. Its advantage is that it's close enough to Perth (915 km) to make it in daylight if you drive pretty much all day. The hot water for the showers is scalding, and the comfort setting changes every time someone turns on a tap. Leaky tap handle washers meant that a stream of this scalding water is happening while you are trying to shower. We needed to put a flannel over the taps to be able to have a shower properly, and it was too hot to remove afterwards by hand. Needed a thong to flip it clear then cool it. A little maintenance would go a long way to fix these things. Average staff friendliness. Reasonable value for money ($22 2A per night, powered, peak season). Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to most sites, cleanliness was average, condition is poor, water pressure is bad. Mostly unlevel sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, no sites with annex slabs, shade to some sites, poor water quality. Basic laundry, good rec room, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 3). Open & roomy park, not enough shade, no permanents. Suitable for overnighter.
Dislikes: No water. Power only to site.
Parking: No
Added Touches: There is a small museum at the roadhouse with the largest piece of Skylab there from when it crashed.

This park is fine for an overnight stay. We have stayed here 3 times in recent years, but found the amenities were not very clean on this visit. All sites are drive through, and it's just pick your spot when you arrive. The amenities would not cope in peak times, but we haven't seen the park full on any of our stays. Power only, no water or sullage. Reasonable value for money $22 for 2 adults. Pool at motel, and playground at roadhouse. Camp kitchen and barbecue area. Meals available at roadhouse.

Typical roadhouse caravan park, free form sites, park how you like, gravel surface, uneven ground, limited shade, no water or sullage. Small amenities block, would be severely stretched if more than a dozen vans in park (men's amenities had a single toilet). Bore water, good pressure and hot. Rain water tank at amenities for filling jugs etc but not caravan tanks. Good meals at roadhouse, small interesting museum there. No point dressing this park up - it's perfectly adequate for an overnight stay and that's all anyone is likely to need it for. Price of $22 2A for powered site average. Would stay again.

Very basic caravan park on the Nullarbor. The sites are gravel and level and $25 for 2A PN powered, which includes 2 shower tokens (8 mins each). There is no water at the site but a tap is available at the end of the amenity block as well as one in the basic laundry. The amenities have keyed entry (deposit required) and were clean with plenty of hot water, good flow. Each block of unmarked sites has a raised 'platform' about 4' x 12' containing the power poles and are meant to take 4 vans but as there were only 3 vans booked in when we were there we used the platform as a mini slab to enter the van without standing in mud etc.

This park is very sparse and dusty, has spotless amenities and a roadhouse with very good takeaway food (not cheap) but you are in the middle of nowhere. The power generator does run all night but it did not worry us. The powered site cost was $25 which I suppose was ok, considering the weather was bloody cold and we were able to run the heater for as long as we liked. The TV reception was good also from memory we had 4 channels, at least we did have entertainment for the night. Diesel which I didn't buy was $1.74 per ltr.

This is an okay park, not many powered sites, the generator is right next to the caravan park so quite loud, but didn't keep me up though.

Noisy, open & roomy park, plenty of shade, no permanents. Suitable for overnighter.
Likes: It was a good stop for crossing the Nullarbor. A pub/restaurant next door if you wanted a meal.
Dislikes: It was a bit noisy from the generator but you need to expect that.
Parking: Ample parking around the roadhouse
Local Information: Not much to see, there is the Eyre Bird Obseratory about 30 km down a 4WD track but didn't go there.
Roads: A good highway with plenty of room to overtake.

None of the roadhouses across the Nullarbor are luxurious, but this was probably the worst. The generator was right next to the caravan sites and was noisy all night. The showers were full of mildew and congealed dust in the ridges around the edges. Showers worked on a token system of which you were given two when you booked in. There is food and drink available in the restaurant. Basic TV reception available. There is no water across the Nullarbor but all roadhouses have fresh rain water for drinking. Being close to the highway expect to get a lot of traffic noise at any time. Friendly staff, no complaints. Poor value for money ($25 2A per night, powered, off-peak season). Amenity number would not cope in peak times, are close to all sites, were dirty, condition is poor, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, dry change area.

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

The Roadhouse campgrounds across the Nullarbor are all quite similar -very basic, open areas, with the bare necessities. Cocklebiddy is just like that - friendly staff, amenities smelt clean, were clean, no taps to van, but a tank with drinkable water. The generator was not a bother, nor was the traffic. There was ample hot water for showers, via a token system included in overnight cost. Food and drink available in the restaurant. We really enjoyed the experience of crossing the Nullarbor and knew to fill water tanks and take drinking water for the trip. Cheapest petrol at Mundrabilla, most expensive at Balladonia. No mobile or internet reception available from Eucla to just before Norseman, so be prepared to be out of contact for a couple of days. There is a small playground, no pool. TV reception available. We put our dish up and got the signal very easily. If you want electricity and a safe place to stay, this is satisfactory. Have stayed in worse "proper" caravan parks.

The place is pretty run down and needs some money spent on maintenance it to justify even the lower than expected price we paid. It seems the park has just changed hands so this may change, but the new owner is no advert for customer relations. Disappointed in the amount charged for the family price, but less than what we would have been charged in Kalgoorlie. Unfriendly staff, no complaints. Poor value for money ($44 2A 2C per night, powered, off-peak season). We paid $35, not sure why the difference to the advertised price but this was the price quoted when I enquired - both list price and actual price was for 2A 2C. Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, close to most sites, were dirty, condition is poor, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes or 5th wheelers, annex slabs to some sites, some sites are shaded, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by. Basic laundry, no rec room, basic camp kitchen, dump point, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 4). Noisy, not enough shade, a few permanents. Dirty gas bbq (free), dismal bbq area atmosphere, seating provided at bbq. Basic playground in average condition. No pool.
Likes: Cheaper than the very expensive parks in Kalgoorlie. Good pressure hot showers.
Dislikes: Poorly maintained, noisy park mostly due to 24 hour road noise.

There could be some confusion with the 2 parks in this town as they are basically next-door to each other. Both parks are on Bayley street (which is also the main highway.) The new managers had just arrived the day we got there so, of course, they were still getting settled in themselves. Overall, this park is quite good with several on-site cabins also. NOTE: A quick look at the caravan park next door, (called The Haven) was sufficient for us to see that we wouldn't bother staying there. Very friendly staff, no complaints, staff offered tourist advice, staff helped us at the site, staff explained park layout and facilities. $24 2A per night, powered, off-peak season.

Report submitted by Mr & Mrs Walkabout (4).

This is a private caravan park and is not funded by the local shire as is Bruce Rock. We had the caravan and motor home show in Corrigin in September - 220 motor homes and caravans attended this event. We can cope with larger amounts of people as we do have a large overflow area in the form of the football oval next door including toilets showers club rooms and a kitchen the size of any 5 star restaurant. This park uses instantaneous gas hot water in our amenity block and is set at the safety temp of 37 deg and does not alter day to day, year to year, so there is adequate hot water. We have an Olympic-size swimming pool next door and and adventure playground in oval behind the park.

I have just spent a few days with my caravan club at the Cunderdin Caravan Park (privately owned). Nice clean park. Good amenities (albeit only two showers in each male/female amenity blocks), blue metal ground covering in park and sites (beats gravel) so no mud in the wet. Price was $20 a night although this may have been club price, not sure. Very helpful owners, only just taken over and very keen to get more business. A few working locals in park, but kept at one end of park away from tourist sites and well behaved, etc. Also some tourist cabins and some backpacker units, camp kitchen building, TV, fridge, microwave, sinks, lounge etc. Is close to railway line and east/west passenger train and good trains go by from time to time. Park is on Perth scheme water (Perth/Kalgoorlie pipeline), lots of powered sites, a couple of streets off main road and walk path from park to shops (IGA supermarket and other shops etc). Local attractions are the Ettamogah Pub (modern theme interior/exterior, good meals etc) and fantastic museum nearby with some really good exhibits including earthquake house and history on pipeline among many other things, tractors, old school and railway carriage, etc, well worth the visit. I would stay there again for one or two days if passing through.

Eucla is an 'up-market' roadhouse. There is a caravan park, a bunk house, motel, petrol station, restaurant and kiosk. Also close by is a Nurses Station. The park is all gravel and has very little shade. No water or sullage. The cost was reasonable at $20.00 2A PN. Check-in is at the petrol station and you are told to choose your own site. We found the park to be quite confusing as the sites are not marked. The amenities are clean and in good condition. Soap provided but hand towel dispenser was empty during our 2 day stay. There is a $1.00 charge for showers. Basic laundry but no washing lines. Unleaded petrol was reasonably priced (by Nullarbor standards) at 176.00C per L. Border Village is approx. 13kms away. There is no need to dispose of fruit and veges if heading into SA until you reach Ceduna (500kms away).

I thought this was the best park on the Nullarbor; it is very easy going as you are told to pick a site and most are very easy to get into. Gravel base throughout the park and a lot of the sites (which aren't marked as such) are drive through and some have shade. You only know they're a site because there is a power pole and there is no water to sites. There is a BBQ shed/shelter and the amenity block is nice and clean with adequate facilities. The view from the van park is great and it's quite a pretty area. Good value for money at $20 2A PN powered site, plus $1 coin shower for 5 mins. Mobile coverage means you can also use your Telstra mobile internet with good reception (4 bars). Book in at the garage and then go onto the van park down a very pot-holed laneway.

Remember this is the Nullarbor. One of the better parks on the Nullarbor, big open park with no roadhouse generator noise, no water or sullage, no booking or site allocation, pick a site next to a power point, expect an early start with onsite rooster, not really a problem as most people on road early to next destination, $1 coin shower for 5 mins. Friendly staff. Good value for money ($20 2A per night, powered, peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to most sites, were clean, condition is good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, extra charge for shower. Adequate number of tourist sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, no sites with annex slabs, shade to some sites, drive-through sites. Basic laundry, good camp kitchen. Quiet, open & roomy park, a few permanents. Clean UC gas bbq, congenial bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting. Suitable for overnighter.
Likes: Able to stay hitched, no generator noise as in other Nullarbor roadhouse parks, good clean facilities, hot showers and toilets.
Parking: large parking area outside roadhouse / service station, book in at servo, 200m further on to caravan park / camping ground.
Local Information: Eucla township and roadhouse, motel, caravan park complex sits on top of an escarpment overlooking the historic Eucla Telegraph Station ruins approx 4k'ms S towards the ocean, easy access on good gravel road via rear of motel complex next to caravan park.

This park is rated keeping in mind its very isolated location. We found it convenient, very well priced and ticked most boxes. There is no water to the sites but they are flat and drive-through. The facilities were clean and large with a reasonable cost of $1 per shower. The only complaint was there were a few permanents in the park and one had a couple of very noisy roosters. However, given the park is mainly a night stop over for 99% of users, the early wakeup call did not cause too much problem. In fact most were getting on the road by 7am to tackle the distances either east or west. No dump point and signs asking not to dump in toilets. Mobile phone and internet both available with good signal strength. We would stay again.

Not a bad park, very popular and will become full or close to it each night. Sites are easy to find and most are easy to get into. A restaurant on site and also a bistro, you can only order from the restaurant if you sit inside not outside. The bistro wasn't that nice a meal, would of preferred the restaurant. There is a path from the caravan park to the restaurant which is well lit. Friendly staff. Good value for money ($20 1A per night, powered, shoulder season).

We paid $30.00 2A PN on a powered site. The park is situated on a sheep station and is very much an 'oasis' with some lovely, old buildings. We received a nice, friendly welcome. Most sites are drive thru's and are divided by shrubs. No water on site or sullage. The park has cabins and a bunk house. Small but clean and modern amenities. There is a charge of $1.00 for showers. Good laundry. Basic playground. Very interesting and well equipped camp kitchen and large eating area. There is also a 'camp fire' area.

Report submitted by Shaggy Dog (1).

Very dry and dusty when we were there. The welcome was reasonable - the flies were very friendly as well! We quickly purchased fly nets for the hats - and they did not give up until nightfall making it difficult to sit outside for any length of time. The park is relatively flat with easy access - some sites a little undulating and we needed to chock up one side. The area has obviously been in drought and the park was showing it. The central meeting place was good and the showers and toilets were excellent - although only two of each accessible while we were there. The rock is worth a look and there are some interesting pieces of art in the town - figures welded up from old scrap. At $35 a night (which included the $7 rock entrance - charged for each day we were there) - probably a bit rich for what the park is. We stayed two nights, but probably only needed one to see the rock and the town. I got mobile reception in the car with a larger aerial - it was good reception just down the road. Mobile internet was more problematic - got it twice with an external aerial - but generally non-existent. Very strong reception for both in the town - did the emails down by the oval. Lots of movement very early both mornings as the area caters for fleeting visitors - so don't expect a quiet sleep in. If I rated just the showers and toilets it would be pretty high, but in overall terms, impression, sites, level of maintenance - generally it is low. We had other reports on the road that the park down the road (Tressie' Caravan Park and Museum) was new and the facilities impressive - but it is 17kms from the rock. Might be worth a look as the rock can be done over in half a day, including the Hippo's yawn - and then you need to drive to other highlights of the area anyway. Wave Rock did provide a voucher for 4 cents off fuel in the town - at $1.40 for diesel - only a top up for us (but then charge $1 for using a credit card). Glad we went there - but won't be in a hurry to go back.
Likes: Close vicinity to Wave Rock
Dislikes: Dry, dusty, undulating sites. Flies!

Friendly management. We paid $32.00 2A PN before Top Tourist discount. Large, open & roomy park. Tourist sites are level and large. Some have slabs otherwise gravel. Camp sites are grass. Not a lot of shade. Some permanents and cabins - both in separate sections. Large camp kitchen. Amenities clean and in good condition. Soap provided but no hand drier or paper towels. Good size laundry. Medium size pool. No playground or jumping pillow. Dump point. Good location between Boulder and airport but no airport noise. Management provided a breakfast for Australia Day but unfortunately we missed it. Happy Hour every Saturday evening in the camp kitchen.
Things to do: visit The Super Pit lookout and view the blasting, WA Museum, The Mining Hall of Fame (closed during our stay), a Brothel tour (n/a during our stay), the Royal Flying Doctors.

Likes: Lovely wide sites with wide lanes were easy to get into and plenty of room to park the car beside the annex
Dislikes: Loud radio piped through the amenities
Local Information: Worth a trip up the hill to view the Superpit; quite awesome. The 3pm tour at Questa Casa Brothel in Hay Street Kalgoorlie is very entertaining, book through the Information Centre or turn up at 2:55pm at the pink door.
Roads: Note if coming from the south via Kambalda then direction signs tell you to turn left prior to Burt Street. This road goes past the jail then turns right and joins with Burt Street beyond the shopping area. When coming out of the side street turn left. Local council is in the process of installing 'bendy' speed restrictors in the shopping area of Burt Street and they are very narrow to negotiate a van through.

This park is under new management and they are striving to bring it back to its best. Very well laid out, flat sites, amenities a bit of a walk but clean and very user friendly. Management are very friendly and helpful (above and beyond you might say). Telstra service, close to both towns, easy to navigate to and within the park. Great for a longer stay as there is a lot to do and see around the area.

CONFUSED There are (at least ) 3 Discovery Holiday Parks in Kalgoorlie-Boulder. 1 in Kalgoorlie and 2 in Boulder. This one is in Burt Street (main street of Boulder) - it's down the bottom end about 1.5 kms from the historic shopping part of the street. Turn off the Goldfields Hwy straight onto Burt Street and travel about 3kms - park is on the left. Don't confuse it with the other Boulder Discovery Holiday Park. A neat park - blue metal sites, so no dust. Quite spacious with good access to all sites. Plenty of facilities (4 BBQ areas, 3 laundries & amenities). However, we just couldn't get our head around the fact that the toilet dump is actually in the laundry with no separation of dividing wall at all - not very hygienic carrying (potentially dripping) toilet cassettes past people who are sorting their washing etc. A big no-no in our opinion. Average staff friendliness, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities. Reasonable value for money ($33.30 after TT 10% discount 2A, 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, soap provided, dry change area, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation. Adequate number of tourist sites, mostly level sites, good night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes and 5th wheelers, concrete annex slabs to some sites, shade to some sites. Good laundry, no rec room, camp kitchen, dump point, secure entry, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 5). Quiet, open & roomy park, not enough shade, a few permanents. Clean UC gas bbq (free), bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. Good playground in good condition.
Likes: Abundance of facilities. Easy access to sites. Sites well marked and spacious. Kids playground is by key entry.
Dislikes: Just the one big thing - a dump point inside the laundry
Parking: Plenty of room on street outside park entrance - most customers park vans at reception though (in contradiction of the "No Standing" sign)

Resort single cabin. Misleading photos (which are still there 7mths later) show a full sized fridge with separate freezer and a full sized oven - and it is because of these features we booked the cabin in the first place. All these cabins have is a bar fridge, microwave and hotplates. When we pointed this out to reception they questioned our claims but appeared apologetic after we showed them the web photos but said the park was full and there was nowhere else to move us to - no discount was offered. The manager was going to be advised and the photos corrected - this has still not been done seven (7) months later (May 09). Average staff friendliness, bad staff response to complaints, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities. Price was as expected, reasonable value for money ($126 2A 1C per night, cabin, peak season).

Well signposted whether coming in from Kambalda or Coolgardie. A very large park with a variety of accommodation from tents through powered sites to ensuites (2), cabins etc. Reception polite, given local information but no offer to show to site. Tourist sites level and quite large, some drive-through, most of them away from permanent sites at back of park, moderate shade. Most access roads wide. Most sites appeared to have annexe pads, were level, good water pressure, sullage points. Reasonable lighting at night. Two amenities blocks, appeared adequate although could be stretched if park full. Clean and well maintained, good hot water pressure, showers had curtains, mop provided. Hand basins and soap and drying facilities. Laundry in both amenity blocks. Other facilities included well maintained pool, children's playground, wireless Internet ($5 for 30 mins, $15 for 24 hours), camp kitchen, free BBQ area well away from most sites, boom gate security, toilet dump points in both laundries. Near airport but no noise problem. Twenty mins walk to Boulder shops, 5 minute drive to IGA supermarket, 10 minute drive to central Kalgoorlie. Price of $34 2A for powered site before discount considered on expensive side. Suitable for short or long stay.

We were going to stay here and treat ourselves to an ensuite. Arrived on a Saturday to find the park closed. A very helpful maintenance man told us the park was in the process of changing owners, but offered to help us to a site. A very quick inspection of the park convinced us to try somewhere else. Very dirty, untidy and run down. New owners have quite a job ahead.

We had a great stay at this park this time around. New management were doing a great job landscaping and much need repairs on the park after it had been run down by pervious managers. I found the new staff to be very helpful and pleasant went out of their way to help. We were impressed how the young lady in the office went out of her way to help us after hours as my husband was not well. They have a lovely pool and playground for the children. Very much a family environment. Amenities are a bit tired looking but all efforts are now being made to tidy them. I must say there are a few too many long stay people I noticed that put me on edge a wee bit. Overall though well done to the new managers keep up the good work can't wait to visit again and see the new developments.

Note: The road shown on most maps between Hyden & Norseman as a track / unsealed is in fact 300ks of unsealed road, generally gravel, but in quite good condition, took a 21ft conventional caravan over no problems at all and saves having to go via Kalgoorlie or Esperance to Norseman. Check locally though on the road condition first as the councils/shires do close the road if wet to prevent excessive damage, and you do not want to travel it after heavy rain anyway.

Manager's name is Laurel & Merve Trestrail A new park (2-3yrs ), everything still as new, meticulously maintained. Very friendly owners. Park set up on a section of the farming property to give Merve & Laurel 'something to do' while the boys took over the farm. The museum part is Merve's lifetime collection, will conduct a tour for a gold coin donation. I personally dislike museums generally but it was interesting even for me. Didn't personally use, but the facilities in the camp kitchen are just unreal in standard and equipment. 4 TV channels rebroadcast over the park. BBQ's free and spotless. Fireplaces provided, move your own mobile fireplace where you like with sack truck provided, free firewood provided. Nothing is too much trouble for the owners. A perfect place if visiting wave rock and area, far better than in Hayden itself. Intended staying 2 nights, stayed 4. Very friendly staff, staff offered tourist advice, van parking assistance provided by staff, staff helped us at the site, staff explained park layout and facilities. Price was as expected, very good value for money ($20 2A per night powered).

Peaceful, open & roomy park, family/friendly atmosphere, no permanents. Clean UC gas bbq (free), congenial bbq area atmosphere. Good playground in good condition. No pool. Suitable for a week or more, well maintained park.
Dislikes: One downside is little shade as the trees are still small, no pool otherwise the rating would have been 5, and the playground is very minor as it was still being developed.
Parking: Plenty of room, all sites are drive through, individually controlled site lighting so no problems with bright lights in bedroom windows.
Added Touches: Fires allowed and wood provided.
Local Information: Can walk over to local club for meals etc. visit wave rock, hippo rock, various local sights.

Manager's name is Jeanette & Morrie. This is an update on our last report. The park has new owners & and they are in the process of cleaning things up and adding extra amenities etc. Apart from that things are much the same. Tariff has increased to $130 per week, or $35 per night (correct figures) 2A per night, powered, off-peak season. After the floods early this year the Supermarket has been closed. At present only very basic items may be purchased in Laverton. The park shop is the single source of goods. Extremely expensive (Milk $4.50/ 2 litres, bread $4.50, meat pie $4.50). Suggest you stock up in Kalgoorlie before coming here at the present time. At this time of the year the park has quite a few prospectors coming & going. Most of these are more than willing to share their experiences with you over a couple of drinks. Locals give the friendly traveller quite a bit of good advice.

The staff at the local IGA store (where you pay your park fees) were very helpful and have a great knowledge of the area. There is a new swimming pool in the middle of the town, 100m from the park. Evidently the area around Agnes is very popular with the metal fossickers. There is a great information centre which caters for just about everything; including a no-charge book swap area.

Travelling west from SA this was far more appealing than the previous caravan areas - set off the highway with nice trees, not just a car park. Definitely the best choice for camper trailers or tents this side of Caiguna, all the others seemed solid bitumen. Park around the edges if you want less compacted dirt to peg into. Amenities about what you'd expect, though the ladies' demountable was newer and nicer than the men's double-brick. Rating was improved by the really nice people we met, both staff and fellow travellers. Went to the bar for dinner and drinks, not overpriced and the food was tasty and well-priced (pub grub). Would definitely aim for this spot again when hopefully doing the Nullarbor again - it's a great drive. Don't miss Head of Bight (especially if it's whale season, apparently), entry is only $5 per adult and kids were free I think. Fuel only varied by 12c a litre all along the Nullarbor - most expensive were Border Village, Nullarbor and Caiguna.

This is one of the few caravan parks on the Nullarbor which is off the road a bit, and with some shade. We like it because it looks and feels bush, yet has hot showers and workable toilets. The rate paid is typical for Nullarbor roadhouses in our experience. It is over-priced for what is offered, but then, if you want hot showers and flush toilets, this is pretty much what's on offer throughout the Nullarbor. There aren't a great number of powered sites, and they are somewhat uneven. Tent campers have a number of sites to choose from. The amenities are, well, workable. The gent's toilets are old and not in good repair, but get the job done. The ladies have a newer block which is not shabby, and is at or above the quality found in other overnight spots on the Nullarbor. Staff are friendly. Restaurant okay. Have not tried the pool. No taps for water; best to bring a bit extra. Friendly staff. Poor value for money ($25 2A, powered, shoulder season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, cleanliness was average, condition is poor, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water.

Situated just off the highway at the foot of the pass. Looks more like a wayside bush stop excepting it has power points. Ground is uneven and there are no designated sites. At $25 per night (2A) it is overpriced. There are a couple of rusty wood-fired BBQs and a swimming pool that, during our stay, was full of dirty water and closed. The ladies and disabled amenities are in a fairly new 'relocatable' and, I'm told, everything is of a very acceptable standard. The men's, which I used, had no urinal, only one working toilet cubicle two showers and thousands of moths. The shower was excellent with the flow hot and strong. It was only five mins before leaving the next morning that I discovered I had used the former ladies (now a men's) and there was another men's amenities hidden around the back, with a urinal, two toilets cubicles and two more showers!

Typical Nullarbor roadhouse, no water, sullage, bbqs or pool, just an expanse of reasonably flat gravel with power boxes. The amenities are reasonable with no extra charge for shower, but there is no mirror. Only 2 of 4 power boxes were working, and 4 of 6 fuel pumps were out of order in the roadhouse, so maybe it is being run down, however it has the cheapest fuel across the Nullarbor. Unlike some roadhouses it is on the main highway and not set back, and the caravan area is beside the roadhouse and not behind, so you get some road noise. Cost was $20 2A per night, which is cheaper than some others.

We have used this park for several years, since 2000, as we cross from WA to the east, or vice versa. It is handy, has okay sites, and the amenities blocks are a bit above average for caravan parks located in country towns. However, in July 2010, the fee for a powered site increased to $33 a night; when we stayed here in April 2010, our rate was $22 (this included a discount of 10%). We judge this to be excessive; as handy as the park is, we will look for alternatives before staying again. It is the only caravan park in town, yes, but there are options within the 100 to 200 km range from Norseman, and they now strike us as worthy of serious consideration. Friendly staff. Poor value for money ($33 2A, powered, shoulder season).

Most sites are drive thru, biggish sites. Member of Family Parks but not mentioned on their website. I had to pay the full amount of deposit, when said I was a Family Parks member, they said well you can't get your discount as you have already paid. So had to go through Family Parks who got me my discount but when I checked in, they still didn't want to give it to me, but in the end did because of my complaint to Family Park. So beware if booking a site before you arrive, because it is not advertised on their website that they are a FPA member. Hot water kept running out in shower, had to turn water on and off just to get some hot water, if someone else was having a shower elsewhere you got no hot water and there was limited hot water about 9 pm at night.

Staff did not explain park layout or facilities, we were just told to go and find a site. Average staff friendliness. Poor value for money ($28 2A per night, powered, off-peak season). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water. Adequate number of tourist sites, all level sites, poor night lighting, sites will accommodate large motorhomes or 5th wheelers, concrete annex slabs to some sites, some sites are shaded, drive-through sites, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Basic laundry, basic rec room, dump point, wireless internet is available, you can use your mobile wireless (carrier used was Telstra, reception quality was 5). Peaceful, open and roomy, plenty of shade, a few permanents. Clean UC gas bbq (free), congenial bbq area atmosphere, bbq area lighting, seating provided at bbq. No playground, no pool. Suitable for overnighter, suitable for families, park is considered kid-safe.
Dislikes: No tourist information or park information handed out. The camp kitchen was clean but very basic.

Sites aren't allocated, but it wasn't crowded. Most sites are drive-through, large enough to stay hitched up. Two amenities blocks right next to each other, which is odd. Some showers have curtains, some don't, some have wire shelf thingies in shower, some don't, which is a pain as showers do not have soap dishes. One block has liquid soap dispenser, but it was not filled, neither block has towels or dryer. Two sites gave access to disabled ensuite. Friendly staff, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities. Price was as expected, reasonable value for money ($26 2A per night, powered). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to all sites, were clean, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, dry change area, exhaust fans/good ventilation, disabled facilities.

Well set out park but with limited shade, well maintained with many new plantings of trees and shrubs. Office was unmanned on arrival and notice told us to select our site and pay later. Sites are level and roomy, gravel but with grass areas surrounding them, quite a few drive through, a few ensuites. Good water and pressure. Two amenity blocks, clean and well maintained. Showers have curtains but cubicles small. No mop provided. Soap dispensers and paper towels provided. Amenities should be adequate for numbers. Facilities include recreation room, playground, dilapidated BBQ. Wireless Internet but expensive at $4 for 20 mins. Hwy noise not a problem. Price of $24 2A for powered site considered good value. Fine for overnight stop or longer stay.
Likes: quiet park, sites easy to access.

Lovely bush park in tranquil setting. Park is in 2 halves, front has cabins and small sites, back is across a gully and has large open sites. Wood and gas barbecues scattered around park, some with seating. Back area is very dark. Lovely amenities, with stylish round basins with in-built plugs, large shower cubicles with curtains and wire shelf thingy over shower rose. Town is close enough to Perth to be a weekend destination; we were almost the only ones there until Friday night when the weekend crowd arrived. Very friendly staff, staff offered tourist advice, staff explained park layout and facilities. Price was as expected, good value for money ($28 2A per night, powered). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to most sites, were clean, condition is very good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, soap provided, dry change area, paper towels/dryer provided, exhaust fans/good ventilation, disabled facilities.

Strawbale Villa. Average staff friendliness, bad staff response to complaints Price was as expected, reasonable value for money ($110 2A C1 per night cabin). Amenities were clean, condition is good, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water. Mostly level sites, poor night lighting. No rec room. Peaceful, open & roomy park, too many permanents. Clean gas bbq (free). Basic playground in poor condition. Clean pool is open to the sun. Suitable for few days, suitable for families, park is considered kid-safe.
Likes: Pleasant atmosphere until the lads arrived. Nice stroll along the river into town.
Dislikes: The manager should have evicted a huge group of lads after they repeatedly ignored warnings from him about keeping the music and shouting down well after curfew. At 2:30am during my third call to him I told him if he didn't call the police then I would. They remained there the following night and were up until after midnight again and just as noisy and trashed the town's model railway track and trains into the bargain.

A basic park but very well set up and great value. Limited numbers of sites but doesn't seem to be regularly booked out. One price regardless of if you have kids or not.

Likes: Westonia is a town doing a lot to make itself attractive including this small caravan park that is very good value for money. The very personable caretaker discussed the town and caravan parks facilities and gave us maps and information about attractions in the area. $2 washing machines.
Dislikes: On balance, the only fault is the low water pressure in the shower block.
Local Information: The town is small but very attractive with 2 pubs and a community store, and an open invitation to use the bowls club and borrow their bowls. In the region they have a number of nature walks with wild flowers, in season, and some interesting rock formation, including their own version of wave rock.
Roads: Short trip on sealed road off highway into town - no truck noise.

We arrived in Wyalkatchem early afternoon, the temperature was approx 35 degrees, the sign at the entrance of the caravan park advised that if it was outside of council hours, we should select a site, set up and then go to the roadhouse to make payment. We chose a shady site and rather than set up as we had planned to stayed hooked up, we drove to the road house with caravan in tow. On arrival at the roadhouse the gentleman advised that he was busy, if we wanted a caravan site we would have to wait. He proceeded with his paperwork and during this advised that he had allocated us site 6. We did mention that we would prefer site 2, but he told us that he was not prepared to change which site he had allocated us. On arrival back at the caravan park, we found that we had been given the only site without shade. The en-suite should have been a treat, but we found it was not only showing its age, but was very basic with just concrete on the floor, and not particularly clean. We did use the camp kitchen and found it to be more than adequate. At $23 a night 2A, I struggle to see how it was given ratings of 4 and 4.5 in the past. I battle with 3.

Manager's name is Caretaker. The caravan park was opened in 1985 and is run by the shire/town. There is no on-site management. A sign at the entrance to the park advises people to go the general store (which is close by) and arrange for a site with the people there - or phone ahead. You will be told if there is a site available and issued with a key to the amenities block. Out of hours you can go to the Commercial Hotel (just past the general store) and sort out a key. A caretaker will usually visit the caravan park daily to look after bits and pieces. Only expect the bare basics here - this is not the Taj Mahal by any means. There is one washing machine in the laundry and it is free to use. If you want a cheap place to base yourself from whilst you tour the district, or just to have a rest from the driving, then this is worth considering. It is a step up from a bush site - but with the power, water, shower and laundry all for $12.00 a night. Weekly rate for a powered site is $60.00. An unpowered site is $6.00 per night. There are 12 powered sites with water taps at the power outlet/s. Tent sites are $5.00 per night. Telstra 3G connectivity can be obtained but you may have to wander around until you get a good signal. TV reception is best via satellite dish. Friendly staff, no complaints. Price was as expected, reasonable value for money ($12 2A per night powered). Amenity number was adequate to cope with the number of people, are close to most sites, were dirty, condition is reasonable, water pressure is good, there was adequate hot water, dry change area, disabled facilities. Adequate number of tourist sites, all level sites, poor night lighting, average sized sites, concrete annex slabs, adequate taps close by, adequate sullage close by. Basic laundry, no rec room. Quiet, open and roomy, not enough shade. Clean UC gas bbq (free). No playground, no pool. Suitable for overnighter.
Likes: Very inexpensive
Local Information: The town of Yealering is quite small but do look in the general store and have a browse - it is interesting what you can find. The nearby lake is a bit salty but is used for recreational purposes - boating and powercraft / water skiing, plus the odd windsurfer may be seen; and there is a swimming area also. It is only a short stroll from the park. There are some walk trails around also. Late winter and through spring is a good time for a visit as the wild flowers are out. In summer it can get a bit hot but the lake can help cool you off. The local hotel could be worth a visit - we didn't pop in but we were advised that an alright feed could be had at a reasonable price.
Roads: Roads in the district can be narrow and if meeting on-coming traffic then a move to the left in a half on and half off the bitumen situation is required. The verges are generally fairly well maintained and if done with caution and dropping your speed, this poses minimal problems. Summer is usually dry so any off bitumen travel usually incurs a dusty plume to signify where you have been.
