    Was very good as we couldn't get a stay in the caravan park. The only downfall was 1 microwave in the camp kitchen, and only 8 people were aloud in the kitchen and people were bringing there kids in which was a nuisance. The staff need to patrol the area at night and watch people washing their dishes and pans under the taps outside the garden area.

    I was here for caravan camping. Would recommend Only if you can't get in to other campsites. At $35 for a plot of land and access to a hot shower 🚿, I think is gouging. Bushland Park $25 unpowered, $30 powered. Pink Lake $40 powered.

    Campground opens mid-December once the other Holiday parks are full. Pricing starts at 40 dollar/night + 10 dollar for each additional person. Only unpowered sites but there are a lot of clean showers and a kitchen. There are some building that block the wind if you’re sleeping in a tent. Animals are allowed.

    Stayed in the overflow camp for 2 days, $35 per night No power or water connection but water is available from a tap near the toilet block. Toilet and shower facilities No allocated spaces so other people camp way too close. Around 2 k walk to town Very nice town πŸ‘Œ

    $30 per night. Hard to find a spot both have water and electricity. We stayed at a spot had power but not water. Had to toll the van to refill the water.

    Great camping spot. Even stables to keep dogs in while seeing national parks. Friendly, clean and good showers and toilets

    Lower cost park accommodation. Does have showers and a camp kitchen. It was okay. I will try to find alternative place to camp next time, just a barren field

    Loved it. Took us back to our childhood. Nothing has changed, horse jumping, massive ag equipment, sponge cooking and other competitions and lots of things that the local kids contributed.

    Stayed there because all the Caravan Parks were full, $35.00 per night, no power, access to toilet / showers by a security code, you could fill up your water tanks as well. We thought the price was a bit much, but if it goes back to the show society all good.

    It's interesting looking at how much effort they go through just to keep people out. I mean having the police patrol the area, when the only things on offer is a shower and and kitchen the majority of the people that come to these places dont seem overly reliant on these things half the time so it would make more sense to make those amenities exclusive to those who pay and a 24 hour rule for those who don't. I mean this would probably be better for the town overall and maybe tourists can feel less like crimnals and focus on getting a decent rest for the night. Also I did spot some power point boxes locked in a cage by the poultry shed. If capitalism is the aim well chuck them bad boys up slap $50 on there for a powered site and call it a day.

    The Show ground is used as an overflow for Vans The toilets and showers are clean, just need your own power. Useful site if you can't get into a Park. It was a bit muddy because of the rain

  • 5/5 Peter S. 1 year ago on Google
    Great space for many different activities. It is also well used which is really good.

  • 1/5 Emma H. 7 months ago on Google
    We went to the show grounds today and to see the animals tied up facing the fence was poor cruelty. That’s not how they should be all day. It’s sad and such a horrible thing to see.

    Town was fully booked, only place to park Motorhome. Good amenities clean. Price was expensive $35 day for Showground. Come on Esperance council look after the greymads.

  • 5/5 Melvin R. 1 year ago on Google
    Was a bit skeptical of the show grounds due to other reviews but was pleasantly surprised. For 35 AUD a night, it was a good spot to park the camper for a little. The bathrooms were decently maintained and functional, and there were 3 shower stalls that were actually pretty hot.

    Great for overnight stay with showers, toilets and drinking water to fill up your Van

  • 1/5 Tony 1 year ago on Google
    Serves a purpose, poorly run and maintained, very dirt. Big place and not suitable for kids. They are so proud that there are no refunds, so be cautious and only stay as absolutely last resort. Many other better places to stay.

    We went there on 23 Dec 2022 for camping. This place will be used as an overflow campground every December and January, which means you go there directly without booking. The camp site is not powered but you can charge your phone in the shower rooms and kitchen. The location is close to everything and it is a perfect place to stay.

    Absolutely love this place. Beside being just an overflow, facilities are great! Had a wonderful safe 2 nights during Easter.

    Attended the agricultural show. The grounds and buildings were nice. Lots to see and do

  • 3/5 Michael H. 1 year ago on Google
    Great sporting area, with lots of multiuse playing fields, AFL, hockey, cricket, rugby, tennis, netball, basketball, with heated swimming pool and squash courts close by.
