What customers say
This well-kept park offers a lovely, quiet spot with heaps of room, even private bush sites. Folks rave about the friendly staff, spotless facilities and onsite cafe. Things to do include fishing, kayaking and games, with great river access. Some mention shower fees and a bit of road hum, but overall, it's a top recommendation for a chill, family break, with plenty keen to come back.

Great location perfect for nature lovers, uncomfortable sleep
Safari tent (waterside)
Liked Loved the location right on top of the river side, having our own fire pit gas bbq outdoor furniture was perfect, seeing all the wildlife and being around nature, great walks, brilliant space for the kids to run around
Disliked No bins and having to take it home especially when staying in over 30 degree heat, beds extremely uncomfortable could do with a softer mattress, So many mosquito’s we got bit to death which isn’t a reflection of the accommodation but it could have done with some sort of mosquito killer, some family’s where not interested in the quite times as per rules

Unpowered forest floor tent site (woodland)
Liked Lovely picturesque spot right near the river with some lovely walks and a good cafe on site. Very helpful staff and easy to get to .
Disliked Unfortunately the lake in the middle of the campsite, pretty though it was, meant that there was serious mosquito problem - the mosquitoes were huge (bigger than I had ever seen) and lots of them. We all ended up with a lot of bites, in spite of bringing repellant. This does mean we won't be coming back, which is a shame, as it was a lovely spot in all other regards.

A perfect little spot for easy access to the river.
Unpowered forest floor motorhome site (woodland)
Liked Lovely campsite. We really enjoyed our visit. The toilets were clean and the staff were really friendly. Access to the river was easy and straight forward.
The location is beautiful, we were a little dubious when we arrived at an industrial estate but once you cross through the gate it's a little spot of paradise. The café was good and the co-op was handy, literally over the road.
Would highly recommend. We had a fabulous time and will be returning!!
Disliked The mosquitos!! Bring some deet.
Obviously not the managements fault but just a warning to pack some spray!
