Hello! I recommened nobody! to camp at this rest area. The toilets were disgusting and blocked. I think everyone thought it was a dump because the amount of rubbish that was there. So I PACKED UP AND WENT OVER TO THE AWESOME! CARAVAN PARK ACROSS THE ROAD. Great prices and there is new owners and they're doing the whole place up. I totally recommend anyone traveling to stay at the caravan park.( I ended up staying a week)
