Broken Hill Tourist Park — Hotel in Broken Hill

We are coming to the end of 5 weeks travelling and we stayed in 17 caravan parks throughout QLD, NT, SA, VIC & NSW. On our trip, my wife and I agree this is the best caravan park we have stayed in during this time for our needs. I am not referring to location or activities, but as a caravan park, this was the best and I will say why. We are a middle aged couple and travel with no kids and our accommodation is powered site with our campervan. We avoid caravan parks that market primarily to families in order to be able to have some peace. This caravan park does have a jumping pillow and a small pool, so does cater for kids also . As we are mostly self contained, the standard of the bathroom is high on our priority list, as well as the camp kitchen. I would challenge anyone to find a better bathroom facility than what they provide here. The cubicles are large and the shower is contained with a glass door. No more shower curtains getting stuck to your bum. The shower head is large and wonderful. With the glass door, it keeps the change area within the cubicle completely dry and the change area has a bench, a shelf and numerous hooks to keep all your gear how you want it. The best showers ever. The camp kitchen is clean and tidy, no problem. The only issue for us was it was a bit of a walk, but that's ok. Our powered site was great (No.105). I took a little while to get used to the chip bark, but it is good in the rain and I found thongs or shoes better than sandals with it. We had a tree on our site which was perfect for during sitting under and reading. At this Park, they clearly aim to give people space as best they can when allocating sites as from looking around, mostly people were well spaced out. This was a problem at other Caravan Parks where it seemed no thought was given to this issue at all (Port Lincoln had no idea putting us behind a huge van making the fantastic view pointless when there were so many empty sites). Well done to Broken Hill Tourist Park and I look forward to future upgrades to your Park on...

The park itself was nicer than expected the amenities were lovely and modern. The pool area looked very nice but was freezing. The bbq area was very inviting but the addition of a sink, some better lighting and a fridge would make it amazing. There was vomit on the ground in the bbq area when we were having breakfast but with a heads up to the office it was cleaned up that day. Dog friendly which is such a bonus. Our group booked 3 cabins (we were travelling with a team of kids for a sporting event) and a couple of sites we rang in weeks prior and were told we would have specific sites close to the cabins and right next to the bbq area when we got there the staff had moved one of our sites - when enquired about moving sites back to where we were told it was not possible the staff member was incredibly rude about it and advised they would not have told us we dont confirm sites we have been here forever and there is no way you were told that. There was a site right next to our groups other site and we asked to be moved to that site but told it was not available however it remained vacant the entire time we were there. The numbers on the concrete also do not match the posts with numbers and the staff were so confused about what sites were what. Another member was able to move us to another site the actual original site we were told we were getting and that stauff member was a little more friendly but the 1st member was the rudest person I have met at a caravan park after driving 700kms in tow with a bus of 13 teenage boys it was a very unwelcoming experience. Apart from the rude staff our stay was pleasant and we would stop by again but the staff members that served us ruined the overall score of...

First up, Elissa in the office was fantastic and has saved this review from getting 1 star. There are at least 2 parts to this caravan park, there's the "old" part in front of the main gate on hard bitumen and dirt which is serviced by an old ablutions block which, although basically clean doesn't have anything else going for it and no handicapped facilities (not even a rail on the wall). This block is closed from 9.30am until 1.30pm daily. The other half of the park is the "new" or "newly refurbished" part with sites covered in thick wood chip and serviced by a super modern luxurious ablutions block which has good handicapped facilities and doesn't appear to be closed during the day. Despite clearly stating in my online booking form a couple of months beforehand that I had a slight mobility problem and needed a site close to the ablutions block, I was placed in the old section on the site the furthest from the ablutions block. It also had a tree growing on it with roots sticking out of the uneven ground so that it was difficult to park my small van just right. My site was also a long way from the new block with the handicapped facilities. You would think that when any customer states anything to do with mobility problems in their booking form their polite request would be appropriately acted on. I think my site allocation had more to do with the stated small size of my van rather than my personal needs. It's not the first time that my small van has been given the worst site (at the same cost as better sites) just because it will fit. At least my site was 3 rows from the front entrance as the noise of trucks passing out the front on the main highway thoroughfare at all hours was...
