Ravenshoe Railway Caravan Park — Attraction in Ravenshoe

Called in to suss out areas for staying a couple of days over the school holidays, and look at the train as the kids wanted to really go there. So wanted to see if it was worth staying there just for the train. Turns out NO.... Due to the rain we pulled up out of the way, a man walked past (works there) and said hello, seen we were having a look at the place without getting wet, didn't say we couldn't, then a woman in a hi viz shirt, white ute, dog in the car, pulled up in front of us pulling disgusted faces, saying something but had window up so wasn't listening, signaling for us to move (we weren't in the way and there's no signage to say that you cant pull up). Very rude and uncomfortable, so won't stay there now or recommend it. You don't have a caravan park at a cool train and then be rude when people come look too see if it's worth staying at.... Quite muddy areas, over crowded area.... No trees, nothing welcoming about the place apart...

I dont really know why she reacted in such an unfriendly manner to us trying to pay for a night. I would advise you stay at ravenshoe hotel where it is cheaper ($15 or...

The volunteers were lovely. It is a shame the trains are not in better condition and open to look at each day. I understand that there would need to be more people to run this kind of thing but even if they were only open for a few hours would be great. The station is lovely and the facilities are clean, however the grounds of the actual caravan park although they were clean and tidy were not the best set up. The part I absolutely loved was the shop in the caravan park called the Barn, this is open to the public and the lady that runs it is such a...
