I guess for us TT….we are new to vanning ( even if it is only a little Jayco swan outback at this stage ) and we have a lot to learn. We are in our fifties and still working and have a few more years of work ( bugger bugger bugger ) so our trips away are only going to be for short stays at this stage within 3-4 hours of Brisbane.
I do some research on the internet first for any negative reviews of parks we are intending on visiting and the wife and I discuss the pro’s and con’s before booking.
There were a few negative reviews of park we recently stayed at on Bribie Island…but as I said earlier….we had a great stay and appreciated the clean amenities block with spacious cubicles.
We do take on board other people’s experiences however, but if we like the look of the place and it’s location is what we want…we will bite the bullet come what may and put it down to another experience gained.

Cheers
Rob
