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: 

  • Rates are based on two adults per site. A per night fee applies for all additional children and adult guests. 

  • Rates for campsites are based on one tow car. 

  • 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). 

 

Refund/Cancellation Policy:

  • If more than 30 days' notice is given, a full refund subject to a $20 cancellation fee will occur. 

  • If less than 30 days’ notice is given no refund is available. 

  • Refunds will not be given for early departure. 

  • There are no refunds available when a group or individual does not show up. 

Checking in and checking out: 

  • Check-in is between 12 pm and 6 pm.   

  • Please visit the reception on arrival to provide your booking details, confirm the number of people in your party and any other information as requested by the customer service team. 

  • Sneaking in additional guests will not be tolerated and additional charges will be incurred for deliberately trying to sneak unpaid guests into Doon Reserve. 

  • The person whose name is on the receipt is responsible for all guests on the site. 

  • Check-out time: 10am.  (If you require a late check out please enquire at reception. Fees may apply.) 

  • To avoid a clean-up fee, please ensure your site is clean of rubbish when you leave.

Quiet Hours: 

  • Quiet hours are from 10 pm to 8 am, during which no music, campfires, running of vehicles, or other noise is permitted. 

  • Excessive noise, generator usage and rowdy parties are not permitted at any time. Any such behaviour will result in eviction from the premises.

Our staff monitor the grounds nightly and should they provide a reminder regarding our quiet hours, please accept this as good advice, understanding that you will be reminded once only. Infringements after 10 pm may result in fines, a visit from the Police, and/or immediate eviction without warning or refund. 

  • A $100 call-out fee may be charged if staff are required to attend a site after 10 pm related to noise complaints. 

 

Site Allocation:

  • If the ground is unsuitable in your desired zone, you might be moved to a more suitable location.
