Horseshoe Tourist Park

We found this place by chance while travelling with the family and our little camper. The owners were lovely and so helpful. The sites were great and not too expensive. The kids loved the pool in the heat, and there's a nice little dam to sit by in the evenings. All the amenities were clean, and the laundry wasn't badly priced either. Recommend it 100 percent.

We had a problem with our booking.com reservation, but the staff fitted us in less than two hours after we arrived. We spent two nights in the 2 Bedroom Deluxe Villa overlooking the dam. It was very clean, and the air-conditioning was already on and cooling the room when we got there. The main room has a double bed and the other room has two singles. There are decent free-to-air TVs in both the living room and main bedroom, and the water pressure was excellent. We woke to a little family of ducks and ducklings outside our room, with a lovely breeze. The park is easy to find and very close to the highway. Our one suggestion is mattress toppers: the mattresses were very hard, and at $280+ a night we'd have liked a better night's sleep. We definitely enjoyed our stay.

We were there for a month and paid over $300 a week, then were told we had to leave for four days because it was booked out for some big sports event. There seemed to be enough room for people to set up next to us. The pool was closed for eight days during the hottest weather. The office staff never answered the doorbell, at any time of day, and we couldn't get change for the washing machines. I think the owners were away.

The drive-through layout and stone surface are pluses, and the park is well run. But at $48 a night, it's not worth the fee to me. $40 would be fair in February. A solar-heated pool would help. At those prices, I might just bypass it.
