Beautiful spot, we were in a good spot for fishing but not all sites were the same. Hosts were very helpful and sites were well maintained. There were a few too many there for our liking but if you look at it from the hosts point of view they need to make it profitable. Overall experience was good, definitely check it out.

We had the absolute pleasure of spending 3 nights at Anchorage Park. Whilst we had a bit of an idea what to expect, Angela and Troy’s beautiful property was welcoming from the time you leave the road and head towards their driveway and property.
There’s plenty of room to fit even the biggest of rigs in (ours is a 10.5metre coach towing a 5 metre car trailer).
AP is dog friendly, great for fishing, swimming, boating, a game of cricket, walking and watching the sunrise and set. There’s a cold water shower and so much more.
