It was easy to find the park and the staff at reception were lovely and provided us with park and local information. Once we were on our powered site, we were a little dismayed about the sound of the traffic (mostly the large freight lorries) from the nearby Midland Highway and were concerned about how loud it could be. As we had planned to stay four nights, we thought we would stay the first night to see how it went overnight. Thankfully, it wasn’t as bad as we feared, and we did end up staying all four nights. We found that the stated “Walking Distance To The City & Gorge” was not quite ‘for us’ even though we are fit and had done a lot of walking in our previous two months around Tasmania. According to Google, it would have been a 2.5kms (@40mins) walk to the Cataract Gorge Information Centre and 3.6kms (52mins) to the National Automobile Museum of Tasmania, which were two places we wanted to go, and not exactly picturesque roads. On the good side, taxis/ubers were not expensive and prompt. Both tourist sites were also excellent. The facilities were also excellent and the park itself well maintained and a lovely area around our campsite with distant views over Launceston. It was certainly a good place to stay and, taking into account the possible road noise, we would stay here again.
