not wrong

flat level sites (hope that one hasnt been said cant remember)

Hi everyone,

I am sure many/most of these have been covered, but the things that I rate highly are:

Level sites
Flood free
Shade trees (but not overhanging the sites)
Well spaced sites (no-one wants to hear me snoring)
Roads wide enough to allow easy reversing (or better still, drive-throughs)
No backpackers in crappy campervans. I know, I was young once. I apologise to everyone I bothered back then.
Quiet neighbours - see previous
Not too close to busy roads or rail lines
Owner-managed (they usually seem to care more than an employee)
Friendly, helpful staff - good staff can make up for a lot of short-comings
Clean amenities (I don't care if they are old, but they must be well maintained)
A reasonably-sized swimming pool (in hot weather) is nice
Internet access
Good TV reception

Things I don't give a damn about:

Tennis courts
Games room
Fancy landscaping

In my opinion, owners need to get the basics right at a reasonable price, and they can forget about the rest.

Agree, I don't go the van parks for these features. Your list of wanted features is pretty much what I hope for in a park, that and it being on a surf beach

has to be close to water, preferably a river, needs to be clean, and plenty of entertainment for the kids, playground,pool,and signs enforcing speed limits due to children.
we recently stayed in a caravan park in paynesville, victoria..cabins were located right along the river, so you could simply open the curtains and have a view of the river, it had friendly black swans that came to your door step for a feed,each cabin had been supplied with a outdoor setting and small bbq on the veranda, the caravan park was kid friendly, signs everywhere stipulating "feral children on road", pool and games room clean, i wouldnt hesitate going back again.

Call me a woos but a site that doesnt have every ant etc in the state residing on it. I'm always sick of bringing new colonies home there is enough here already

Talcom powder cures that ... they hate it.

no worries thanks scol

Not a prob ... mind you ... it does work better on a CT as the powder sticks to the tent and doesn't corrode ... we use it on horizontal surfaces in van ... that tends to keep the blighters at bay.
