THE PARK
Park Size The park is set on 17 acres of what used to be just farming land. There are approximately 100 sites (all grassed, no concrete slabs), as well as a number of bunkhouses, miner’s huts and two-bedroom family cabins. The layout of the park is fantastic, as it leaves a large grassed area in the middle perfect for kids to play, or if you have a group and want to book out the whole park, it gives a great area to congregate. Perfect for car clubs, etc.
Drive Through Sites Yes
Landscaping The park has gravel roadways. All sites are grassed. Even with some rain things didn’t get all muddy and mucky. The park is still relatively new so the trees are still growing, however they still offered enough shade. There is landscaping around the amenities, pool and kids playground.
