Eureka Stockade Holiday Park

We upgraded to a family cabin, floor was dirty and unswept when we arrived. Non stop dog barking from campers right beside cabin. But overall a very family friendly environment. Bonus was the pool next door

Great little park. The common room and kitchen are kept really neat and tidy and really warm on a freezing cold Ballarat day. The showers and toilets are impeccably clean, and the showers are big rain heads. Best and cleanest caravan park shower block I've ever been to anywhere in Australia. Kudos to the owners and housekeeping staff, keep it up. Will be back.

Arrived about 515pm, found our powered drive through site, possibly the worst one in the camp, right on the playground, not enough room to extend the awning. Not able to contact anyone, even the emergency no didn't answer. We took another site close to this that fitted our van and annex but it was gravel and slopping. Very dirty and painful to walk on even with two annex matsSo many other drive through sites that were so much better. We had booked for this 9 months earlier. Very disappointed with the grounds. We had been there twice before and hardly any improvements to the park.

The staff were very helpful both before arrival and after. I changed my plans and, after initially booking through a 3rd party website, I dealt with them directly to add an additional night. The 2 bed room cabin was nice. The kitchen /living area quite spacious for a cabin. The lounge could do with a steam clean however. The queen bed was comfortable but apparently the bunk beds were not. The wire screen was missing from the bunk bedroomwindow which meant we couldn't open the window to freshen up the room. We enjoyed the free mini golf course and would have loved to use the pool next door but it wasn't swimming weather, Would recommend.

Enjoyed our stay. Our cabin was modern and well equiped. The bed was very comfortable. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

Location was great, little traffic and situated perfectly for going to Kryal Castle. Our late check in was easy, we received great instructions via text on how to open the key safe, inside we had an envelope with all key information and maps. The park was neat and tidy and we had almost no contact with staff. The cabin was adequate for our needs and the kitchen was fully equipped and great.Our cabin was clean but in need of quite a few repairs.

We were welcomed into the park and made our way to the cabin, first impressions certainly last.The holiday park is not like the pictures first up, so do your research before confirming a visit to see if it is something you are happy with.There was bits of our stairs missing and rubbish on the verandah (half a dozen open sugar packets and a toy of some sort) - also, an ashtray. For a family unit, a non smoking one, who has ashtrays anymore? It was dirty too, something to keep the toddler away from.Upon entry the cabin was suitable, neat, clean and tidy and suitable for our needs. The room with two bunks in it was VERY small. If there really was FOUR children in there, they would kill each other after a night or two.Upon further inspection, the cleaners really ignored a significant portion of the property.There were multiple lolly wrappers throughout, a pegged up chip packet in the wardrobe, empty chocolate milk bottle under the couch.NOTE: upon exit, we informed the staff and they said next time to tell them straight away and they will send the cleaners back, point taken, however it should never be in that state in the first place.TOILET: Missing a button and the pressure was terrible, it didnt flush everything down all the time.. (kinda ew).THE PARK:**The Park was smaller than first thought, felt a little old and dated and quite cramped but did the job for a few days.**Access to the swim centre next door was easy enough, just a quick walk and a show of your cabin key to enter (not sure what you would do if you had a site?)**The games room - as many people have said, a lot was broken and didnt work. The kids still had fun playing pretend however.**No coffee machine, - everywhere advertised the coffee machine for use in the camp kitchen. This was $3 but displayed an error message on the screen. DEVESTATING. (well for me anyway).SUMMARYOk for a few nights, check the room (if you have a cabin) is clean and provide feedback ASAP if you are not happy, staff seem happy to help.3 Stars

The cabin was dirty on arrival (lolly wrappers were visible under the bunk beds) plus the drawers under the bunks had rubbish in them. The bathrooms had hair in the sink and on the floor. The shower head kept dropping down against the wall whilst using the shower! The fridge door compartments were held together with tape! All of the outdoor chairs on the deck are broken and were too dangerous to sit on! The boom gate was permanently up so not very security conscious! Whilst the location is good, the park itself is tired and really has nothing for kids to do as the playground is tiny and so is the BBQ area. Could do with some swings or a jumpy pillow!

Had a basic cabin a little dated but had everything you could need. Heater worked really well. Had electric blankets, microwave, tv and comfy couch. Beds were really comfortable
