Hi All,
We will be in
Marree mid June for our longed for flight over
Lake Eyre. Which is the better caravan park to stay in? We have camper trailers.
Thanks, Sue B

We were in
Marree June last year, we stayed at the
Marree Caravan Park. It was not the flashiest caravan park but it was a great place to stay. We met some very interesting people there & at night they have a 2 course dinner for $15.00 each, it was great value . Sitting around the
camp fire of a night with people from all over Australia & even some from O/Seas was a great way to spend a couple hours & speak about each others experiences. You will have a great time

Make sure you phone before you get there and confirm your flights, my wife rang two days before we got there to confirm and was told everything was right, when we got to the van park the first person we talked to told us they had booked their flight and when they got to the servo to pay they were told there wasn't any booking and were put off for two days, we went to the servo the following morning, booked in for a 9.30 flight, the girl told my wife we weren't booked in, after a long argument she went and got the boss who luckily remembered the phone calls and organised a flight for us later in in day with a pilot that was supposed to be finished and flying her plane
home to Victoria, she wasn't very happy about having to make another flight and made it known to us, to make matters worse a few months later they took $930.00 out of our account, when my wife rang them she was told we didn't turn up for our flight so we had to pay, they did refund the money after she talked to the boss again, lucky for us our last name is the same as a friend of his and he remembered us, alot of people we talked to had the same experience with them, hope you have a good trip,
Ken

You can also book through the pub, which is what we did a couple of years back ..they were cheaper too from memory ,, might pay to
check with them .. also
