The caravan park here is situated approximately 20km out of Gladstone and is before you get to Tannum Sands; the park is in a great location being situated on the Boyne river. It is very quiet and within 1km is a bowls club and golf course (no club facilities, meals bar etc) and I was told the golf course is public and very cheap. The park was very busy being the winter season for lots of interstate groups who have been coming to the same location for many years.
Roadways and sites were well kept with rubbish bins at each slab; during our stay the weather was good (warm days, cool nights) and we were not bothered by midges if there were any.
Sites were very roomy and car parking could be either at the side or at the front of the van.
The amenities do need a little TLC as you will see by the photo below; the divider wall between showers was almost knee height and you could hold a face to face conversation with the next door neighbor. The shower roses were the water saving type but these ones seem to save quite a lot of water as only about 3 of the 20 jets worked; maybe an over exaggeration but it was a battle to find a good one.
There is another park at Tannum Sands and we did have a look during our stay at the Boyne park; if we were to visit the same area again we would stay at the Tannum park. Prices for the week were about the same ($160) but the Tannum Park as far as facilities goes seemed to be much better.
