Detailed Reviews
My partner and I had a late check in and phoned ahead and everything was organised for us for a smooth check in.
The cabin was extremely comfortable and large enough for the two of us. I appreciated that the linen and towels were what you would use at home instead of the highly starched white linen you usually have at accommodation.
Easily located and a beautiful view.

Close to town, yacht club, Birds fish bar (great) plus foreshore with playgrounds and beach. Quiet older park, but fairly clean with easy sites, some drive through and short-term guests are separate from long-term. Good base to explore Bowen for a few days.

We stayed in 'the cottage' (not) for 5 nights. The standout for us was the rudeness and abruptness of Debbie at reception. As paying clients we were treated as annoyances. There were no batteries for remotes for the air con or TV. No hanging space for clothes. Mould in bathroom. Bedside lamp held together with sticky tape and fell apart when turned on...no replacement, no apology, told 'i don't want it, throw it in the bin.' No covered verandah - it was a 3 ft wide concrete pad with 3 chairs and a large table. Microwave situated on top of fridge and unreachable. Yes, 'the cottage' was spacious, but also cheap and grubby feeling.,,,a reflection of the business acumen of owners.

Great park close to town and waterfront. Super tidy, friendly staff. We are in a motor home towing a car so easy to drive around tourist spots. Lovely and quiet and not crowded close together like some parks do. Will be back.

Well my partner and I stayed here in June 2022 for two weeks, and the park is disgusting no grass all dirt, amenities only get cleaned every second day Nothing over the weekend. Rubbish bins full in amenities and all over the floor from the fruit pickers which the owners complain about. If you go for a shower take a torch, the lights go out ( but been checked by an electrician says all good and working he needs to hand back his license) about 530 - 6 pm every night. I’ve complained six days straight and so have a lot of other people in the park. Owners don’t want to do anything about fixing the problem. So if your going to stay in Bowen anytime soon as a grey nomad DONT

This pic I’ve taken is with my flash on. No lights

While this was situated well, the amenities were not cleaned the entire time we stayed and were not stocked daily. One bathroom did not have hand soap at all and at least 2 bathrooms ran out of toilet paper for a time. We were advised we could access 6 ensuite bathrooms during our stay, however they closed 3 of them the day after we arrived.

Stayed here for 1 night. Arrived after the office was closed, but the man on the phone was lovely and so accommodating. There was no key in our envelope for the ladies toilet but he brought one round as soon as I informed him. The key didn't work unfortunately and it was quite late so I had to use the mens with my boyfriend standing outside (loool). It was an honest mistake and the man (I've forgotten his name, sorry!) was very apologetic the next day. He was very friendly + welcoming.
Cabin was clean, bed was comfy + tv in the room makes everything better! I would recommend:)

Horrible place avoid like the plague. It’s basic tired and has lots of strange people.
Unfriendly reception and greeting.
Toilets and showers need updating.
Don’t believe the blurb on the website it’s an awful place.
