Park Rules
Making a booking:
-
We require a minimum night stay on long weekends, peak season weekends, and during local special events.

Full payment is required at the time of booking.
Campsites:

A standard site is roughly 6 x 6 metres and a large site is 6 x 9 metres. If you have a van, motorhome, trailer, or tent that cannot fit onto one site, you will need to book the number of sites required.
-
If you book more than one site, the same number of people need to be booked on that site as well. For example John has a 25 foot (7.6 metre) campervan with his wife and two children. John needs to book 2 sites, with 2 adults and 2 children on both sites.

A site has a maximum of 6 guests (including children).
