4.5/5
Lovely spot in a sheltered valley beside a crystal clear mountain creek with great swimming holes.
Palm trees and tall tree ferns are dotted around. Had the place to ourselves, so it was very peaceful. The toilet is a long drop, but in good condition with no smell. The gravel carpark is a bit dusty, otherwise would have given a 10.

Small and quiet, immaculately kept, loved the swimming pool and free kayaks for paddling on the trout stream.
Highly recommended.

Stayed here because the other two van parks were full.
They do have a couple of powered sites, but they are gravel, not grass. It’s basically a backpackers hostel, where they let you camp in the car park. Fine for a one-night stay. Conveniently located in the town centre. Spa is a nice bonus.
