This was our second year coming to Rac Cervantes and from the last time this place has gone down hill fast. ||Last time was great easy booking, drive through site, ladies in office were great this time however it was a disappointing experience from the get go. From calling to see what site we had last year (as we wanted the same ones to drive through) to booking & confirming the details they stuffed up the dates for my friend then I called back and was told she had to call even though I made the orginal booking.. to then being told " ohh those dates arnt available on that site as we have a group booking.||When we arrived and had to go in the office as our "online check in wasnt processed (completed a day prior) as she had been busy on the phone" and being told bluntly do not drive through its not a drive through (but when I booked i said this is the reason we wanted this site) the younger lady in reception was polite but im guessing the older lady is perhaps the one I also got on the phone who was not very friendly when booking (i know should have bailed then but i actually really enjoyed my birthday there lasy year and wanted to do it again as they do have great facilities and it was a very chilled place.)||We went back into the office after arriving to see if we could park our van the other way(only a dirt road behind us "emergency access" which we wouldn't have been blocking at all we just would have been faced the different way so we could have the annex out to sit in and enjoy with our friends the older lady piped in "apparently went out and asked management" to which we later found out went even on site".||Another car and van turned up only to be parked right in the way of the "emergency extit" gate) ||Completely unhelpful and rude!||Reception is the face of your business how you get treated from arrival it makes all the difference to your stay and due to this which was not only recieved by myself but the person checking in prior to me and also my friend who arrived moments after us we will not be returning and I will not suggesting this place to anyone else who asks as I have done based on our last visit. ||Amenities were clean and facilities were clean however there is a pathway that leads around the pool that needs addressing as there has been movement in thr path and there is a lip which is dangerous tripping hazard whoch we both...

What a terrible experience we had at this park. We arrived at our site, no. 83, the sprinkler was on in the patch of dirt we were to park on, making a boggy hole. We have a motorhome and had limited space to park where it was flat. We were trying to wriggle our way & it just wasn’t working out. So off I went to the office to see if we could change sites or at least have some matting to help with the dirt/slash mud issue… I was told to try no. 85, that was worse as there were so many lumps & bumps… so off to the office again & told the receptionist that we would stay on our original site, and I asked if the site we were in was in the overflow section, she said no, but the site is up for maintenance! I asked if we were paying the same price as the level sites, with matting, & some grass… she said yes! My husband went to the reception as he was having a hard time trying to get the motorhome on a level surface, he was told that the maintenance man will be there with to assess the situation - he never came… so off to the reception AGAIN & my husband asked if he could borrow a shovel & rake so he could fix the problem himself.. the receptionist ‘promised’ that she would be there in 20 minutes, never happened. By chance another patron was kind enough to lend us his shovel. The receptionist finally came down with a rake for my husband to use.

I went to the office to see if there were any Cervantes car stickers, the girl did not know, just so happened that a male staff member came out & was asked the question… he looked at me dead in the eye & growled “no”. So much for customer service.

It was a nightmare from start to finish.

We had a group of families behind us… kids walking through our site, kicking balls around at night. The parents were noisy well after the 10pm quiet time. I really do doubt that anyone monitors the park rules.

Another person reviewed that the facilities over near the cabin section was so much better.. and they were 100% correct. Beautiful gardens, huge games room, huge camp kitchen, awesome play area for kids…

Our side of the park was simply horrible.

Give this park a miss if you are looking for a peaceful place to spend your time in Cervantes. Head for Jurien...
