Mount Gambier Showgrounds

Camped one night had a great look around Mt Gambier clean tolet and showers host are lovely

Really clean amenities and nice grass paddock for campers. Managers were friendly and accommodating to get us in due to harness race being on (they are allowed to have more than 8 campers if there is an event on). So the only downside is the 8 spots only available outside of events (best to book if you want a spot). Apparently local caravan park owners have complained that too many campers mean they loose business (they of course charge like wounded bulls and make it unaffordable for families to stay)

Went to see the Tom Curtain Katherine outback Experience show at the show grounds. Public Toilets were clean, easy parking

Be warned if you have children! We would never stay here again. After 9 months of full time travelling we have never experienced such a horrible place, that made us feel so uncomfortable and unwelcome. We were camped in between elderly couples who looked down on us for having an old van and children. They kept making complaints to the caretakers for our kids being noisy and playing with mud, within our own site! Andy the male caretaker verbally abused our 4 year old son for peeing on the ground, something I saw another young child doing that same day, and who have dogs peeing everywhere on the ground, not that it’s something we encourage but he’s 4! I went to talk to Tracy and female caretaker who has been fairly nice to have her husband come out again and start verbally abusing me about how he saw it with his own eyes and that it’s disgusting and if we disagree with him he’ll kick us out, he was either just a horrible person or he was drunk. He then went back inside and I asked for a refund as they have made us feel very uncomfortable, and obviously don’t want us here, which she agreed with, she even admitted she didn’t know the others would behave like that, and that’s why they agreed to a refund, which states is not available in their rules, because they knew they were in the wrong and to keep peace with the elderly people, very clearly showing discrimination towards children, they shouldn’t be offering families to stay here if they can’t accept children being children. Such a disappointing experience of mount gambier which was a lovely town we were hoping to have another week to explore but so thankful we are able to leave a week earlier now.

Power and bore water for $20 per night.The timber factory behind the Showgrounds was smelly and noisy but bearable. The hosts did a great job, well done and Thankyou.

What a hidden gem we stayed a week Deb and Dane our caretakers very friendly and helpful highly recommend though does book out quick. Toilets and showers always clean a laundry available, happy hour each day at 5 couple of fires just the thing for cold nights few drinks nibbles chat to other campers a few games available to play. Cooked breakfast on weekends for a small price. Dog friendly $25 per night powered site cash payment only. No complaints at all

$25 night for power and water on long weekend. Cash only payment. Quiet, away from the road, level sites with loads of room to manoeuvre large rigs. Clean toilets. Managers Robyn and Jim very friendly and helpful. Dog friendly park. Dump point.

Stayed in the campground in late December 2022 - the hosts were fantastic, helpful and friendly, and the bathroom amenities were surprisingly warm and comfortable considering it can get quite cold at night. Especially considering the price, this is a fantastic place to stay. Recommend calling ahead to ensure you get a site as there are quite limited places available.

We had a meeting in the conference room. Was very clean and a pleasant place to be.
