This camp ground is caught in a time warp.
Everything in the kitchen is dated, its like being in a 1970's campsite. There is not much power outlets if you are wanting to charge devices. There is no electric jug so you have to wait ages for the zip to boil. No dishwashing liquid or teatowels are provided, which would be a nice touch please.
Outside there is nowhere shady where you could sit near the kitchen to enjoy your meal. You have to sit at the table in the kitchen and have people look at you eat.
The lounge room/kitchen is all one room, so if your trying to relax after biking all day you have to put up with others talking or cooking.
The lounge room only has a tv which is so small you cant read anything on the screen, and two very old chairs. There is absolutely nothing to do at this campsite in the evenings. It could do with something outside for the kids to play on.
The toilets were suppose to be cleaned (according to their sign) between 11am and 12 noon, well after 2pm and we being the only ones on site all day the loo paper on the floor from the day before was still there.
The ground is ROCK HARD, dry, and the grass is DEAD, we bent half our tent pegs trying to hammer them into the ground.
The owners seem to have lost interest in the place. We paid the fee upfront on arrival that was the last contact we had from them after asking several questions like where is our campsite , kitchen/lounge area and the toilet block, we were told with a fleeting glance behind her back "its over there'. They just wanted to get your money and be done with you.
They could do with watering the grounds, as it looks like a scene from a desert!
I would NOT come back here again, or recommend it to others.
