We just need a powered site for our small camper van. 1 night only.
Bathroom facilities very good; hot water, bath mats for your wet feet(!). Fireplace in kitchen area with lounge chairs too.
2nd best place we stayed in north/west Tasmania.
Great place to stay. A very warm welcome and choice of sites.
Handy to other towns and reasonably priced, come on you big parks if a small park like this can be reasonably priced and provide what they do, a well equipped kitchen and BBQ area, good laundry and bathroom facilities, so can you.
We have been in many caravan parks and camp sites in Tasmania but although small, this park has been the most friendly . Fresh bath mats and big shower heads with lots of hot water made having a shower a warming and pleasant experience even though the temperature was low. Andy the owner acknowledging the needs of motorhome travellers even provides a shuttle service to the centre of town or the railway station. Top Site!
Stayed here so as we could leave the van to visit Strahan. A smallish park but nice sites helpful owners and very good facilities. Cooking setup under cover which was helpful when it rained and beautiful big headed showers. A great place to stay when visiting the area
From the time I walked into reception I was impressed. A warm welcome from the new owners Jacquie and Andy, walked to your choice of sites (as I was there early enough), and a good explanation of where everything was plus the best choices on the Empire Pub menu. The park is only small and deliberately has gravel due to the high annual rainfall so it has a good base and not a mud hole. Amenities are dated but very clean and functional with rubber mats and floor mats provided for your convenience. Great value and would certainly recommend. Ps: Andy also offers to run you into town if you don’t want to do the easy 1.4km walk.
This caravan park and the entire town were given a "pass" in our tour book - "only as a last resort" or something like that. In fact this park is under new management and is one of the nicest that we encountered on our trip throughout Tasmania. This are does get an incredible amount of rain and is the site of a large mine, so gravel is a common sight. The owners did explain that on account of the tremendous rains that gravel was the only alternative that wouldn't turn to mud in a matter of days. As other reviews have mentioned, this is a very well maintained park and the fresh bath mats available in the showers is just one of the nice touches that the owners are putting in place.
As our guidebook mentioned, there are some homes that in the neighborhood that are a bit down on their heels, but there are also some interesting old buildings in town as well as the wilderness railroad.
