Prom Central Caravan Park — Hotel in Gippsland

Review Prom Central Caravan Park, Foster, Victoria|What’s not to like about Foster … a gorgeous small rural community servicing the regional dairy industry and the seasonal tourist industry based upon Wilsons Promontory and the surrounding coastal/hill country. There’s also a considerable pioneering heritage legacy that originated with the shifting patterns of cattle drovers/graziers and the relatively short-lived and modest gold mining that was based upon what came to be called Stockyard Creek. The small township that was establish adjacent to the creek was renamed Foster in the mid-1880s (after a regional Police Magistrate). |That’s perhaps all-by-the-way, except Foster is an ideal base from which to explore Wilsons Prom. The township has an impressive Victorian heritage image, selection of places in which to stay and eat, an interesting museum and easy access to the surrounding countryside. It’s little more than 40 minutes by car to Tidal River in the commercial/recreational centre of Wilsons Prom – where Parks Victoria has a visitors’ centre for the national park.|Foster was our first stop on the road journey to Sydney – following the coast north and then across hill country to Canberra. We had two nights in Foster and chose to stay at the Prom Central Caravan Park. Our findings were much like those already recorded – large extensive area with lines of box-like chalets spaced one to the other with just sufficient space to park a car in between. Established to a modest traditional design that presumably suited those original holidaymakers from the post-war years and through into the modern era. |Our two-person chalet was clean, convenient and an easy place in which to stay. It was spacious. We had a double bed in an alcove to one side of the living space/kitchen/dining room as you enter the chalet. At the rear of the chalet was a sliding door opening on to a room with a single bed inside. It led to the shower/washbasin/toilet. So, the place would have slept three. Instead, we used the bed and hanging wardrobe as a place in which to spread our things.|‘Functional’ as a descriptor comes to mind. More to the point everything in our chalet worked satisfactorily. Well … the mixer valve (or whatever it was) which delivered hot and cold water to the shower head seemed to have a mind of its own; you needed a mix because without the two streams the shower was either much to cold or impossibly hot. We learned to grab a few minutes wherein the cross-over from hot to cold or cold to hot was practical. For a couple of nights, it was no big deal. We were fortunate to have a shower/toilet in-chalet. (Needless to say, there was no issue with the separate hot and cold taps in the kitchen – worked as designed.)|Oh, and if you’re

Absolutely poor service. DO NOT I repeat DO NOT stay here. I booked 4 cabins at this place 6 months in advance. He stated that oh don't worry about putting any money down. He stated clearly just pay as we get closer or when you arrive. I ring a week before hand and he has sold our spots in the cabins. Now I have to let 15 other motorcycle riders know their trip is not going to happen. Discusting. I now can't book anywhere else because of this greedy selfish person. His reply is a down right lie. The booking was confirmed and even though I wanted to pay back in May he stated not to pay yet as it's a long way out and to pay as it gets closer to the date or even when we arrived. This was confirmed again during a phone call with him today. After speaking to other accommodation outlets in the area I was told this is something he does and has done on many occasions before. The guy is a liar. From what I hear he simply doesn't give a hoot as he's selling the place. Plenty of other places in the area you can stay. Give this...

We spent 10 days at Prom Central as a base for trips around the area.||The caravan park is basic but friendly, helpful people make it better than that. Amenities were clean and although on the older side, worked really well.||I have no complaints with the park however I do find some big rig owners are pretty arrogant. Two very large vans decided to set up right in front of the camp kitchen and the other amenities which meant walking between them and their pegged out sites to get to toilets etc. They also commandeered the front of the camp kitchen and talked very loudly after curfew time without consideration for others in the immediate area.||When asked very politely to keep it down, a woman in the group got pretty stirred up..there is always one! Fortunately the others calmed her down.||We would happily stay at the park again as the vast majority of people were friendly and quiet after curfew which is all...
