Caravan parks

We've visited the following parks, so far. They are loosely categorised in relation to how they accommodate the requirements of a couple with no kids or pets. We want to be able to easily find the park, put the van in place, hook up to power, etc, and then start to relax or take in the local attractions. Some of the parks with tight sites will help you get your van in position, others don't. In at least one case when we asked for help, we've been told that we'd do better than the staff! We've refrained from making any specific commentary about the staff or permanents or facilities that we have no need for. (If you want to know more specifically what we thought of any of these, just write and we'll respond to you!)

Also check the reports that are included in Badger's caravan park reports site. Badger's site contains reports entered by ordinary travellers about their experiences with the caravan parks they've been to.

We also did a trip down to Tasmania for a weekend without our van.

Our impressions are provided on the places we've stayed with our van so far:
