Bailey Bar Caravan Park

We had a powered site. Arrived late due to unforeseen circumstances. The hosts were absolutely wonderful. Welcoming, empathetic and couldn’t do enough to get us settled in. Thank you to the kind host family that take great care of their guests. Highly recommend this caravan park if you’re after a peaceful, safe, secure family orientated environment where they take the time to ensure your stay is more than satisfactory.

We first went to the Bailey Bar Caravan park in August 2015 and loved it, mainly due to the community feel of the park and the famous camp oven dinners and bbq's that we enjoyed. Fast forward to September 2024 and our experience was sadly terrible, so much so we only stayed one night and cancelled the other two we had booked. I think that although I am sure he works hard, the son of the two owners is unable to run the park, sadly the father is in ill health and cannot cook hence the lack of camp oven dinners being available. However, the main issue with our stay was cabin no3. Filthy, so much so that my daughter's feet were black as coal after she danced barefoot in the cabin. None of the bedside lamps worked on either the bunk beds or the main bed, they were actually falling off the walls in the bunk room. The blanket was stained and definitely not clean and the sofa was also stained. It is a shame as I think the son is a nice guy but he's not able to cope with the demands of the park. Turns out the owners are not the same as in 2015. Monday night was $135, very expensive for what it was, but when my wife said it was more to stay on Friday and Saturday night, I said no. We stayed at the Waltzing Matilda motel instead and it was like chalk and cheese.

Stayed in pet friendly cabin. Won't do that again. Cabins needed upgrades about 10 years ago. Bathroom cupboard was swollen and the extremely strong smell of urine was next level. Towels were brown with bleach stains, bed sheets clean, blankets suspect. Beds hard and very old. For the price, total $150 p/n, we were even charged extra (extra $30 per night with no explanation) as we attended for the Mulga Cup, we were very disappointed. If bailey bar don't intend on renovating them fast, just bulldoze and put camping space there. I spoke to a few locals about it and it seemed common knowledge their cabins were ordinary.

The park could certainly do with an upgrade and the amenities were in a bad state. They need to be upgraded. The owners were friendly and very helpful. Didn't think the spit roast was value for money but it did give us a chance to meet other travellers who we ran into in other towns.

Great place, a little run down, but we all are , the owners are friendly and very helpful would definitely stay again toilets and shower are very clean. Place was very Quiet when we where there
