Anglesea River Reserve

[crustt]

Spent 4 nights at Anglesea, very good family park all the usual extras, we were in the trees because we had a dog, very clean and modern amenities blocks. This place is huge, very strict and there is a fee for everything, first place I have seen that uses brand new Silverlines for onsite vans.

Is that the big 4 one?

Bugger. We are booked in to the big 4 one. Just hope we can get our 'beasts' into our spot

I've never been in it, but from memory it is on a block the size of 3 or 4 house blocks, you'll be right

We have stayed in both parks over cup weekend and beach front wins hands down in our book.
The big 4 is very small to the point that the site beside us had to use our site as well to park his car.
If we start talking rules it gets worse. Fantastic indoor pool but doesn't open until 9am and closed at 7pm on the dot even during daylight savings and same with jumping pillow. No skate boards and no bike riding after 5 pm. This of course would suit people that don't have kids. The sites don't have much or in a lot of cases any grass so make sure you've got ground matting.
The park is very clean and staff are friendly and is cheaper than beachfront.
Beachfront says it all. 5 minute walk to the beach, nice big grass sites (down the bottom) and exceptionally clean amenities.
We will be back to this park before the big 4 again.

We were in Beachfront at Easter in a tent. It's a great spot, great park and if we head back that way, we'll definitely be parking the van there. It's not the cheapest going around, but given the jumping pillow, pool, mini golf, oval and beach, along with the games room and parks it doesn't miss ticking many boxes...

No. Good or bad?

Was aptly named a boutique park, very nice but small sites, 23ft'r turned away and one with a 12ft campervan said it was a squeeze

Not that I can remember. I booked it back late august. I think I chose it because it was the only place that could and would fit us in for 2 nights.( I was shocked by the price he charged us.)

I did tell the guy that we had a big van. I think I said we were 12m long, as I wasn't too sure how big the 21-64 was. ( since called our jayco guy and found it will be 29feet once opened.

Been checking on wc all morning for something on the big 4 and could only find 3 generic comments, but heaps of let's just say 'not too nice conversations'. May send the park an email today to check all is good.
