Longford Riverside Caravan Park

The river view for tent camping is stunning (3 stars). Access in, is terrible. Only one lane entry and nowhere to park while checking in at reception. If others are checking in there is a very lengthy wait to access your site. 15 minutes in a queue waiting for other campers to check-in is ridiculous (loss of 2 stars).

I hired a caravan for myself and teenage son. Cost $135 a night. Due to bad phone reception on my end it was a bit difficult to communicate with manager when booking. When we arrived the caravan was nice and cool as the air con had been put on on for us already, a nice touch. The manager was friendly. Being a caravan there were certain limitations. There is a note saying not to have showers for too long, or have people having them consecutively as you may run out of water as a cylinder needs to refill which takes time. The manager also explained the bunks were for children not adults. This meant my previous plan of me sleeping on the bunk while my tall son slept in main bed would not work. Consequently he slept on mattress on floor in bunk section, blocking the path to the bathroom, not ideal. I am 165 cm tall and found the main bed a little short. We were careful with shower use and it was ok. I did use the general caravan park toilets and they looked clean. I liked the pretty grounds outside and the deck area was nice. I appreciated the good quality frypans and saucepans in the caravan making it easier to cook with. The caravan park is also close to shops. It was lovely and quiet at night. So I would say it’s a good option if you are not too tall.
