Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / January 2008FREE camping area GUNNING NSW
Info for your Members benifit At the end of the main street in Gunning, just before the bridge (on the left) , there is a shady FREE camping and picnic area with toilets, water and BBQs, etc. It is a beautiful area beside the very pretty, and well maintained and very clean creek, and it is 100% FREE ( vans, vehicles, tents and campers etc allowed) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Also, for those contemplating using the Gunning NSW Caravan Park. Recently we did a caravan trip inland along the East Coast of NSW and we stopped at the Gunning Caravan Park.! It was definitely a big mistake.! High rates for overnight stays from $17 Filthy and very primitive showers and toilets with very little hot water (the showers do not have doors on them !) Lots of un-accompanied stray dogs running around "dropping" their business everywhere and "cocking" their legs over campers car wheels and equipment etc. Long grass (prickles) and untidy grounds. We were told by a very ignorant and rude caretaker (we could smell "booze" on his breath) that the toilets and showers are only cleaned twice a week and that we either "like it or leave it" ! We also found that the "locals" in Gunning were also not very helpful or friendly ! We hope this info will be helpful to your members Regards Fred & Rita Walker mail.aapt.net.au <lbambery@aapt.net.au> > Info for your Members benifit > [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > Regards > Fred & Rita Walker What a unpleasent town - where is Gunning I wish to avoid it like the Plague > What a unpleasent town - where is Gunning I wish to avoid it like the Plague There's likely nothing wrong with Gunning. Nothing other than it's a small town in the middle of nowhere, if that's going to be a problem for you. Someone posting by the name of "Fred & Rita Walker", and/or "HappyAussieWanderer" has been spaming usenet and various online forums with the EXACT same script about the camping outlet being substandard, and the Heaven-On-Earth park just up the road being so wonderful. As I understand it, public parks, grassed verges etc within cities/towns are not allowed to be camped on. The original reason I'm guessing so you that you can take your kids to the park to play on the swings, kick a ball around and have a BBQ without having to co-exist with the likes of HappyAussieWanderer trailer trash. And that's a good thing.  SignatureLinux Registered User # 302622 <http://counter.li.org> Agreed John. In anycase you can't please everyone all of the time, to state the obvious. I have stayed at the Gunning Caravan park. It was ok when I stayed there tho I think it was only $10.. Nice and quiet. Not flash but what do you expect for the LOW rate of $17 per night. Anyone who thinks $17 is a high rate hasn't stayed in many Caravan parks. As for the picnic area at the end of the town, I wouldn't stay there , but if you are keen on staying in rest areas then it would be ok. No showers of course,and any hoons around town would be right on your doorstep. I have stayed at the Gunning caravan park in preference to Yass . I found the townspeople ok. > mail.aapt.net.au <lbambery@aapt.net.au> >> Info for your Members benifit [quoted text clipped - 39 lines] > What a unpleasent town - where is Gunning I wish to avoid it like the > Plague |
