Ribas Underground Caravan Park
Wonga Beach Camping Ground
Palm Cove Camping Ground
Yulara Caravan ParkI am sitting here thinking about all the caravan parks we have stayed in and thought all you wanna be travellers out there may be interested. Keith has gone snorkelling so I am filling in time.
RIBAS UNDERGROUND CARAVAN PARK, Coober Pedy
We didn't actually stay underground but they did have camp sites and accommodation underground. Pathetic showers in the block and mice running around the camp kitchen but other than that.........
The owner/manager conducted an underground mine tour and the site fee was halved if you did the tour. We did it but wouldn't recommend it.

YULARA CARAVAN PARK, Ayres Rock
It is actually sitauted about 20klms from Ayres Rock but is the only park there so they can charge the $41 a night. It was a very nice park though. There is no camping in the national park....probably since a dingo took a baby!
WINTERSUN CARAVAN PARK, Alice Springs
A nice clean park a couple of kilometres from town. We felt very safe there as there was barbed wire on the fence and a security gate closed at 8.30pm. It was a Top Tourist park of which we are members.
PALM COVE CAMPING GROUND, Palm Cove
This is a council owned park right on the foreshore and we had water views so the position was fantastic and at $24 a night was cheap but the amenities block was disgusting.....lucky the water was hot. I don't think it had ever been cleaned. Luckily we wear thongs in the shower. The whole park needed a lot of care and attention.
WONGA BEACH CAMPING GROUND, Wonga Beach
This is another council camping ground and was 100% on the one at Palm Cove and was only $20 a night. It is also right on the beach. The park was full of huge wonga trees which are beautiful and shady but they dropped big seeds and everyone had their cars covered up!!
CAPE TRIB CAMPING, Cape Tribulation
This was a nice grassy camping ground with fairly new amenities with a nice big camp kitchen. We often take advantage of the bbq's in the camp kitchens and we did at Cape Trib.
SUNLAND CARAVAN PARK, Cairns
This is probably the best caravan park we have stayed in and at $26 a night was good value. We stayed there 2 years ago and it is just as good. The amenities blocks are very clean and there are plenty of washing machines. The whole park is very neat and tidy. It is also in a very good position, close to lots of different shops and also the bus stop.
HARBOUR LIGHTS CARAVAN PARK, Bowen
This park is right across the road from the harbour so I think I was conned as it was an easy walk to have a look at all the boats. It was quite a nice park though and in a good position also close to the town. They have unisex ensuites which I am not keen on as I don't like going in to the bathroom after men I don't know! Fussy I know.
HORSESHOE BAY RESORT, Bowen
Not sure how it got it's resort status....must have been back in the 70's. This park is near the beach so I guess that is why they can charge $32 a night. It is a very old park and the amenities blocks are in urgent need of an overhaul. I hate amenities blocks that are left wide open and subject to toads entering...which is exactlywhat happened here. Keith has to frequent ladies toilets searching for any hopping critters before I enter....not his favourtie thing to do but he just has to. There is not a lot around here either.
Sorry if I have bored you. I just realised I should have put the photos on before so they are now altogether. Actually when you look at them they all look the same so I think I will stop there!! I don't have photos of them all anyway, aren't you lucky. Keith has survived his snorkelling expedition and is back already not very impressed with what he saw and also the water was cold!! Poor baby.

Thanks for the reviews, you need your own TV show featuring "caravans parks I've used'. Managing a caravan park up that way may be a new career for you both.
ReplyDeleteDon't come any further south if Keith/Herbie is complaining of cold water.
