Suggestion on parks to stay at? NSW

Submitted: Tuesday, Aug 01, 2006 at 20:30

Holty

Hi,

we have been on the road for a while and our next leg is from batemans bay to Dubbo to visit the zoo. We are travelling with three young children (4,3,1) and want to stop for a night in two places on the way to dubbo. I don't know the area, on the map it would seem logical to go to Goulburn or Yass, then Orange or Bathurst and then onto Dubbo.

I am looking for suggestions on two logical stopping points on the way to dubbo, good van parks (we have a Jayco Swan) with good kids playground facilities etc, powered sites (ensuite even better). We are trying to limit the travel to 3 hours a day if possible.

Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.

thanks and regards

Goulburn will be freeeezing...... don't know where you'd stay there, but I would pick Bathurst over Orange.

Holty,
Goulburn is definitely very cold at this time of the year. However, there is a site called badgers caravan park report that gives the South Goulburn cp a good wrap. You could use this site to check Orange or Bathurst. Personally I'd go via Orange as well. Have a good trip.

Holty,

You could always go BBay - Canberra - Yass - Boorowa - Cowra - Dubbo instead of through Goulburn, Orange, Bathurst. That said you'll get better services in the larger towns but it's a part of the world you may miss out on.

This would by my preferred route. The road from Goulburn to Bathurst is not a good one for towing - it is narrow, winding and gravel in some sections.

If you are going through Canberra the shortest way to Dubbo is through Cowra.

Canberra is worth a stay and is warmer than Goulburn - stay at EPIC (the show ground - in Lyneham.)

Head up the coast about three hours and stay at Shoalhaven Heads Tourist Park . It has a great kids playground , games room and spotless ensuite sites . Being on the coast it will be nowhere near as cold as inland but you can head inland from there. The managers are very good friends of mine and the staff bend over backwards to make your stay enjoyable.
