It's pretty clear the money in this park has been spent on those that use powered sites. As a camper, I was disappointed with the lack of facilities/condition of facilities for campers. I've stayed at free camp grounds that offered better facilities, other than the showers. A sign in the shower and toilets eluded to them being cleaning daily, they were not cleaned in the 3 days I was there. Virtually none of the exterior lighting in the camp area worked, appeared to be disconnected in the BBQ hut and not functioning correctly in the outside sink/wash area. When I asked about kitchen facilities, I was told there was a fridge and microwave in the laundry but there is a full kitchen over where the powered sites are, I discovered while exploring looking for a kettle. No cleaning cleaning supplies for benches etc., as I've normally seen in other parks and lots of other parks supply basic bbq utensils for the price charged. I'll trade the East camp grounds next time.
*update/reply. The powered camps on the south side were virtually empty, the camp site was not bisy and I was the only camper in the unpowred area. The$4000 dryer you mentioned had signage indicating it was out of service during my stay. Bins in toilet facilities were not emptied and no evidence of cleaning occurred. I used the switch for the light in the outside wash area and it flickered and did...
Read moreWe stayed at the Low Head Tourist Park for four nights. They offered us a Big 5 special ‘stay 4 pay 3’ which was great. This is an awesome caravan park to base yourself at while exploring the area and nearby towns. We explored local museums etc and took a day trip to Cataract Gorge near Launceston. We had a powered site with an ensuite which was wonderful. I did not use the larger amenities block so I can’t comment on that but our ensuite was perfectly clean and modern and the communal laundry facilities and camp kitchen were also perfectly clean. The camp kitchen is small but has a microwave, stove and fridge and has a great view. It was not the busy season so there weren’t many others at the park, but that suited us fine. A few caravans and motorhomes came through while we were there. The hosts were fantastic, so friendly, gave us advice on the area, where to find things, what to do. The park was so well kept. If we visit Tasmania again we would have no hesitation staying here and would highly recommend it to...
Read moreWe were going to the penguin tour and I didn't want to drive back to Launceston in the dark so I booked a family cabin at this tourist park. It was neat and clean, with a double bed and 3 bunks. Hot running water, heater, electric blanket, TV, microwave etc. It had everything we needed, though if I were to go again I'd probably pay a little more for one of the larger water view cabins, as this one was somewhat cramped and very close to the cabin next door, I heard their kids jumping around in the morning lol. Having said that, I slept like a log here it was so quiet without any traffic noise whatsoever, so I'm not complaining! Low Head is very quiet, be aware, not much open after dark unless you drive to George Town. I had prepared for that though and we bought our own food to heat up in the kitchenette. The owners were...
