Fantastic spot, heaps of spaces for campers of all sizes.
Great facilities including, potable water fill up, dumping station, toilets, sinks to wash dishes and big children's playground. A local 4 square supermarket and fish and chip shop near by etc. Also pay laundry washer and dryer near by if you needed. All based around a vintage train station and trains you can explore in the day. There are two camper carparks, the smaller one (first entry after round about) is a little closer to the road, if looking for a little quieter spot, go in the second entrance. Found ourselves coming back to this as a favourite go to camp ground.

Great little spot near the lake front, easy to park in.
There are not many designated campervan spots and ive never seen one free. Though there were only a couple designated spaces there were about 20 campervans parked in the area for the long weekend. Nice clean toilets a little walk away (the end of the carpark not for campervans). No dump spot or water.
