Nepean River Holiday Village

Nepean River Holiday Village, Emu Plains.
We stayed 7nights in Feb 2009. $30 a night for a powered site.

Not too many choices around the area. Good facilities, certainly nothing to complain about there! but has a crowded, boring, blah feel. Certainly handy to Syndey and the Blue Mountains though.
Overall- 3 stars.

Location- 5/10. Right near the train station (trains run straight past!). Near one good pub restaurant. Only a few minutes drive to Penrith Shopping Centre and not far from Blue Mountains etc. Nothing else special and nothing within walking distance.

Sites- 4/10. Small. No shade. Massive power lines overhead.

Bathrooms- 6/10. Modern and clean. Large shower cubicles with good shelves and hooks etc. Stupid 5min shower timers with preset temperature that is too hot.

Laundry- 6/10. Large laundry and clothes line area. $1 a dryer load, $3 a wash.

Shop- 5/10. Good kiosk- with milk, bread, drinks, chips and chocolates etc. LPG gas, ice.

Pool- 7/10. Shaded pool with toddler section. Grassed surrounds.

BBQ area- 7/10. Two separate areas- Main BBQ area near the pool is a large open undercover area with two free BBQs and picnic tables. Also a communal fridge and microwave. Another smaller BBQ area down near the camping flats.

Playground- 5/10. standard playground castle for young children.

Other- Internet WiFi connection available.

Hawkesbury River Tourist Park

Hawkesbury River Tourist Park, Windsor.
Nice feeling to the park, would happily stay there again. Perfect if you have a boat. Only simple facilities available but if you want a place to chill out then this is it.
Our rating- 3+half stars

Location- 5/10 Out of town but a lovely spot on the river (direct access). About 10min drive to Windsor which is a nice town.

Sites- 6/10 Decent size. Nice and shady.

Bathrooms- 5/10 A little old but nice and clean.

Laundry- 5/10 Two washing machines and one dryer (i think they were $2 a load?) And clothes line area.

Shop- no. A convenience store about 10min drive

Pool- 4/10 regular inground pool.

BBQ area- 5/10. Small shelter with single BBQ overlooking river.

Playground- 3/10. kids slide. Also has a beach volley ball net.
