The staff at this camp ground are amazing! They went above and beyond to help and assist us which made our stay unforgettable. The pedal carts were a hit with the children, the location of amenities to the campsites were great and the pool was lovely for all ages. The campground is clean, welcoming and dog friendly. Highly recommend!

Amenities were old but clean. I would stay there again. No boom gates or passcodes to worry about. Lots and lots of cabins if that's your thing. Staff were friendly and helpful. Very quiet and peaceful.

The staff were amazingly helpful on multiple occasions. We had mechanical problems with our van & with no fuss or charge they enabled us to stay on whilst the auto electricians came to assist. In our haste to get on the road we left a bike lock behind which they located & happily mailed on ahead with an invoice to be paid later. We would recommend this peaceful & beautiful park to anyone.

We had a previous experience 3 yrs ago at this park which was negative. New management has completed a lot of maintenance and the park is very neat and well manicured. We had a great slab site for our caravan and found the current staff to be extra friendly and cooperative. Site rates are competitive and ammenities are dated but spotless and tidy

G'day Gemlister! We are glad that the park was much better - we reckon you might have been here when we had just heard the devastating news that Covid had claimed our Country Music Festival. Everyone was scratching their heads and trying to come up with a Plan B (we did!) and our heads were in many places. In August 2022, the park and the family that owns it celebrated 40 years of being in business. We started looking at some of our history ... and there was plenty! ... so we are glad you saw some of our big improvements. To see the flat, bare paddock we started with to what we have today is just inspiring. See you next time your pass through. Happy and Safe Travels! The Team at Austin Tourist Park

We have just spent 18 days in at Austin Tourist park and found it excellent.Very friendly staff.The grassy sites are nice with a view of the river.Great amenities.The older ones are very clean but we loved the new ensuite ones that anyone can use.Another service we haven’t experienced before was being notified by text about an impending weather event and on the day we left we were again informed by text about an accident that could have affected our travels.

I stayed at Austin Caravan park at the cheapest cabin available. What a surprise to find out it had been renovated to 5 star accommodation. Shower was a delight with the big shower head. Bed was very comfortable. The layout was basic but still very good. I will definitely stay in this cabin again on my return trip. Being a member of Gday Parks, I got a 10% discount. I paid $106.30. Do not always assume that cheaper cabins are no good. Check them out first and be surprised at Austin Caravan Park. Staff are friendly jovial and fun to talk with. Had best nights sleep for ages. Well done Austin Caravan Park.

Stayed here the last 2 nights - couple and 8 year old. What a great park! Far enough from town to be quiet, close enough to get anywhere quickly. Our son loved the playground and the pool and would have happily stayed longer. Cabin was a good size with a little convection oven and all necessary cooking bits and pieces. Bathroom was big for a cabin and a full proper shower - bonus! Hubby says staff were friendly and chatty when checking in. We will happily stay here again next time we come up to Tamworth.

The Austin Park was a great find. Staff were welcoming, professional and accommodating. They were helpful with local weather conditions and roads as we were unfamiliar with the area. We were on a powered site with a camper in the top area (Swift St). It was a lovely well kept grass site conveniently located to facilities. The toilet block is well maintained and very clean.
