Discovery Parks - Clare

不要訂，不要訂，不要訂！重要的事情説三遍。和照片完全不符，屋裡設施陳舊簡陋，蒼蠅成羣。太差了實在沒法住，衹好連夜驅車回家了，因為這樣還衹是浪費錢，如果住，那就是花錢買罪受了。

Excellent park central to wineries in the Clare Valley... awesome facilities with x2 pools...bmx track... bouncy pillow.... fully stocked camp kitchen and bbq areas.... pizza ovens... we stayed June long weekend and they had live music with coffee and pizza vans... reception staff are super friendly set the tone for a great stay.... will definitely be back.

Booked for ourselves and two other couples. Only had unpowered sites but that was OK. Couldn't do the booking as their computer was down. Were not told of the price but saw on the website it was $25 for unpowered site. FINALLY got an email 3 days later - $85 PER NIGHT - and wanted one night for deposit NOW. Two days before sent an email to us wanting it to be PAID IN FULL (we thought they were joking) but a phone call to us the next day and were threatened we would have to wait for at least an hour when we arrived if we didn't pay................ We paid and when arrived were greeted by blonde Hitler with no PR skills at all. (Think she was the same one that rang demanding full payment) She took great delight at giving us the three parks at the very extreme back of the park - actually it was just a grass area on a non-existing road next to piles of woodchips and gravel. To be positive at least we had a bit of room in our undulating scrub allotment and not cheek to cheek like so many others who were squeezed in. (One with a quarter of their caravan hanging over a deep creek). Hubby has recently had ankle surgery and we are both nearly 70 so was a bit of a pain we had to take a water bottle and a packed lunch to walk to the amenities - especially at night when there are no lights - need a torch unless moonlight. Plus no how water one morning. Googled same site when got home and price came up to $50 total for the same time frame - not $170 for two people for two nights with no power or water!!!!!!!! We have been HAD.............. We have stayed in a top caravan park in Darwin at peak holiday time with full services and that was less than two thirds of this price. In fact have NEVER paid this much even for a powered site. Shame on them and silly us for paying it !!!!!!!

We stayed in cabin which looked like one of the older cabins. It was very small but was all we needed for the week. Our bedroom was so small i could hardly walk around the bed to get in. The fly screens on the windows that our pillows were against were full of dust and needed a good clean. Toilet was running water inside it so we could hear it at night and bathroom door was hard to close. Kitchen was clean and tidy. There were lots trees around us which was great on the hot days. They service our cabin half way through our stay which was great. They bed linen was clean and beds were comfortable.

We made a booking and checked in, reception desk outside, given a map and a powered site allocation. Drive to our allocated site, only to find someone was already on it, tried to ring the office, no answer, walked back to the office and came across a park worker who had radio contact with the office, office allocated another site, off we go, no, this site has our van drawbar on the road, worker contacts office again, another site is allocated, off we go, this new site is the same as the last, drawbar on the road, worker contacts management again, management say, put you van sideways on the side and park vehicle on the adjoining site, now we are taking up two sites? Not good business. Feeling fed up by this time, think this the only solution, clearly management are not coming out of the office to sort this out. Lots of other empty sites, so unsure what was going on. Finally placed the van sideways on the site, and in the middle of setting up, a chap rocks up as asks us if we are leaving? We say no just setting up why? He said the office told this site was empty and he could check it out. Numerous times we saw campers and caravanners arrive and struggle to negotiate sites that are not suitable, some persisted and others simply gave up. We have travelled extensively for many years and this site allocation is the worse we have ever seen, not once did management come on site or attempt to assist those struggling with inappropriate sites. It’s the only park in town

Good park with nice sized sites, a good camp kitchen and plenty of good clean bathrooms and showers, There are plenty of play options for kids including a pool, bike hire and a jumping pit. Also visitor centre next door
