Broken Hill

Hi Robert,

we have recently stayed in the big one near the cemetery. Its a Top Tourist park, not too sure of the name although could simply be the 'Broken Hill Caravan Park'. You could look on the Top Tourist website for details.

It has good clean amenities and we have used it twice in the last 12 months and had good experiences.

Cheers Heather

Penrose Park at Silverton is where we always stay. Way way cheaper than both the parks in town and much more friendly.

The atmosphere is more like bush camping with facilities. You can have camp fires and are not squeezed right next to other people. There are also showers and flush toilets and they sell some basics in the small shop there.

We have previously stayed in town and once we discovered Penrose Park at Silverton would never stay in town again.

Cheers

We agree with Heather escapesilv,

Sorry we can't remember the name either, but think its the biggest in BH. We were swaging on our trip and camped on their grassed area near the cemetery fence. It was great.

Regards

There are parks at the Adelaide end of town and the Wilcannia end of town and they are both quite good. That said I like Penrose park at Silverton too, it is cheaper and more bush like.

Robert,

Check out Visit Broken Hill. The staff at the tourist info centre are excellent and helpful. I was in Broken Hill last month (but stayed in a pub).

Penrose Park looked nice and also quiet - giving the feel of bush camping, but with amenities. Not sure if your guests are used to caravan parks either, in which case they may find a quieter more open space like PP a bit more comfortable. The only draw back with Penrose Park is that its a 20 min drive to BH. But, Silverton is 2 secs away and there is a lovely wide sandy creek bed (dry) that runs past Penrose Park - a great place to sit and contemplate life, the universe and everything!

I was also told by a lady I met at Silverton historic cemetery that you can camp cheaply at the council run show ground or race course (sorry, can't remember which) but it didn't have showers.

Good Luck1

Stayed at both B/H caravan parks the one at the Adelaide end you camp on pine bark and the one at the other end of town is grassed.The amenities at both are OK about the same.Next time we will try Silverton.

Cheers Scoof. :-)

Thanks to all that forwarded their information,You have converted me! I think we will be heading to Silverton Penrose Park. it suits me better than an overcrowded caravan park in the middle of town.

Cheers and thanks again.
