Discovery Parks - Coolwaters, Yeppoon

Well after arriving just on 7 pm on a Friday night we were delighted to see the main kitchen was offering pizza and pasta ,what a selection of beautiful food ,the pesto chicken pene was restaurant quality and for $15 ..Bonus !!! Definitely stopping in on our return visit

Stayed in powered van site many times in the last few years. Disappointed with the new ensuite sites. There has been no maintenance on the sites since installed. Only weeds growing in sand. Had to buy a mat for a walkway to ensuite. Spent an hour digging out prickles. Only one washing machine working. Going back to same site in July so hope it improves by then.

Seriously this park couldn’t care less about the paying customers or their health. Smoking is encouraged with the feral community allowed to puff away within a few feet of others vans. And the toilets , they don’t flush and you need to navigate your way through the previous unwashed croppers business. The sewerage stench by the pool encourages you to go home. Shame as the park is generally good and the ground man are top blokes.

The same old story with all your parks. You want to charge an absolute fortune and ya supply rubbish outdated accommodation. Fair is fair, $285. Air cons filthy, don't even have fins left on them, toilet seat from 1955, sliding glass doors no wheels just steel on steel, paint peeling of walls, algae growing everywhere, lights, fans filthy and as old as my grandmother. Hate to whinge but spend sum money and maintain ya park instead of take, take, take. It takes 2min and cost $9 FOR A TOILET SEAT???? 1 bloke just drove around and cleaned a cpl BBQ,s, get a blower and clean the place up, just laziness. We used to enjoy this park but never again, just like most people we have spoke 2. If you think this air conditioner is 1 HYGENIC or 2 acceptable for $285 a night yas need to wipe the sleep out ya eyes.

Ensuite powered site was on deep sand. No slab or lawn. A Bit messy...ensuite was nice. Shower noisy. Byo loo paper. Theirs is average. Good location for marina tour. Nice water park...and nice pool. Firepit near our site attracted loud tipsy 75 year olds who chatted until 10pm.

Unfortunately, having booked a two week stay, we were unable to stay the second week due to serious health issues and the need to return home asap. The staff advised refunds were not possible, a credit only could be issued and then only for Discovery Parks, not G’Day Parks. Given we are in our late 70’s, the health issue we are now dealing with, not having anyone else to pass this credit to and the likelihood travel will not be a possibility in the future, I requested a refund be made on compassionate grounds. The answer was “no”! Really?? Wow, we’re not about to spread recommendations for this place.
