Shelters have fan inside, great park

We stayed in a sheltered site in mid-April 2018. We hired 2 sites for 2 families but only used one of the shelters as they were large enough for us to share.

Shelters are unable to be locked as the fire wardens had deemed it a safety hazard as peole could be locked inside, so all external brackets have been removed. Fair enough.

Our site was nice and shady and really close to the toilet and showers (which were clean and always had paper).

The sheltered site have power and water...plus a ceiling fan inside which is fabulous to keep bugs off food (if you leave the door open or you have kids constantly in & out!)

There is a small playground for the kids - perfect for our ages (3,5 &7).

We did a trail walk one day with was lovely through the trees, but a bit hard to find the opening/start due to the map being different to the grass mowing.

The Spanish mission church and building bear the checking station was a nice touristy thing to do.

We also saw some leaf cutter ants doing their thing. Very interesting why they do it - look it up on google!!!
