Port Lincoln Caravan Park

Fair enough we knew the park was on the highway. Toilets were clean but old. The grounds needed love and attention. The picture they put on fb shows a pool. There is no pool. None of the above mentioned bothered us but don’t charge people $40. Thirty dollars would have been more reasonable.

Don’t let the photos fool you!! There is no green lawn!! We had a beachfront site that was not maintained and had bees everywhere on the tree and ground as it was covered in flowers and wasn’t mowed! The dryers don’t work had to put clothes through 4 times still didn’t dry! I asked the front desk for some change she was so rude and said go next door! I called to see how much I needed as I didn’t see the sign and she didn’t answer so I walked back to the office and she was sitting on her mobile looking at fb and ignoring the phone ringing (that was me) We booked in for a week and lasted 2 nights was a waste of money! The camp kitchen is a bbq doesn’t even have a sink to wash your dishes had to use the laundry sink! The bathrooms ran out of toilet paper and wasn’t filled up til the next day bins overflowing and rubbish flying everywhere because of the wind and not being emptied! Avoid this park

This is a really good little park and a gem with flat sites, well sized and also protected. We found it was friendly and quiet as well as managed. There is enough space for everyone and you don’t get crowded out. I would recommend this to anyone as a base and wanting to explore the region from Tumby Bay, Coffin Bay NP, Cummins and Lincoln NP. We spent Easter here after 4 days in Coffin Bay … this gave us time to stock up due to the good number of services available in Port Lincoln. My only surprise was how quiet Port Lincoln was with most of the town closed for the 4 days over Easter … sort of a ghost town almost except for your 7 day traders like Coles Woolies Bunnings Liquorland etc … the locals weren’t interested in any tourism dollars eg no bakery was open in the town at all. The park is on the highway 10km from Port Lincoln and serviced by a garage and takeaway with good coffee available in the morning. The North Shields pub is an easy walk down the road.

Stayed in a double bed, 2 bunk family cabin. Cleaners equipment, mops, buckets, brooms were in the wardrobe. They expect us to hang out clean clothes in there. Only a microwave and electric frypan for cooking, no stove or cooktop, lucky we had barbecue to boil water for veggies and percolated coffee. Place was poorly cleaned, lot of dust everywhere from dirt track in front of cabin. Couldn’t sit on provided outdoor setting as old, rusty and covered in dust. No exhaust fan in bathroom, no where to put soap in shower recess, garden beds were just empty sand pits, no internet available, lawns were dry and dead, screen door didn’t close, outside covered in cobwebs, kitchen lacked the basics like even a salad bowl, one small serated knife, no bottle opener or cork screw, no wine glasses let alone champagne glasses. Main complaint is total lack of maintenance and cleanliness. The new toaster was the only good thing about this place inside. The nearby coastal walking trail was a positive, the Boston Bay Winery close by was fantastic. Beach here was not a swimming beach as full of rocks and seaweed. Point Boston beach 20 minutes up the road was brilliant. Paid $120 a night which is a lot for what we got, we have stayed in lots of cabins across South Australia so can compare, this was poor, would never stay here again. Feels like they take advantage of being the only caravan and cabin place in what is touted as the seafood capital of Australia. They need to invest back into this place to modernize and get up to scratch.

Terrific park right beside the water just a short drive out of Lincoln itself. Lovely & quiet, the best grassy sites we've been on ever. Clean facilities except for the tiny inadequate camp kitchen which consisted of a fitted gas bbq plate & a free standing bbq (both of which looked fairly grotty), a handful of utensils, & some stainless steel benchtops ... no sink for washing up, all positioned in a gazebo. We weren't too fussed as we only cooked there once (cooked in our motorhome for our other meals) but really felt for those staying @ the park who don't have these facilities on board. Other than the kitchen, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. Servo @ the doorstep which is open early & until 9pm most nights I believe. Came in handy for some basics, milk & an icecream each one night. We also heard that the Indian food they have available to take away is delicious, I noticed a variety on display & it sure looked good. They also do Pizza's on particular nights (Wed to Sat from memory).

Stayed in powered site.lovely grassed area, well maintained. Lovely staff in reception. Hose provided for each site to wash car. Laundry and dryer available. Amenities on the older side but spotless and clean. Good water pressure and lovely hot water. Pub just down the road, with lovely meals at a good price. Just 10 mins out of Port Lincoln so very convenient.
