The Lady at the park answered my call quickly and came over to check me in soon after I rang.
The cabin was very clean and comfortable, warming up quickly .
I would certainly recomend this park to everyone in the future..

Great place, clean comfortable and lovely owners who go above and beyond to look after you.
The cabin was presented extremely well and whilst the upgrade was welcomed with delight, it came with a couple of challenges for my elderly mother. The step to the porch was a little steep for her to negotiate with no hand rails. The bathroom would be much more comfortable with a heat lamp installed. Overall, on our short stay, we found the managers very friendly and the park to be highly recommendable to anyone visiting the area.
Very good value, excellent cabin, wonderfully comfortable bed and very well equipped - no hesitation in recommending this accommodation, thank you.

Great small place close to town centre
Love how they provided electric blankets, there is heater and small cooling aircon in the room. The walls didn't have much insulation though so if you turn off heating before going sleep in winter, you end up really cold in the mornings. The beds are soft with not strong support so neither of us slept well at night, woke up sore due to insufficient quality sleep esp after spending whole day hiking.
I stayed in one of the cabins and was pleasantly surprised by the level of cleanliness and the amenities provided. Genuinely friendly check in too. Highly recommended.
It was a pleasure staying at the Lithgow Tourist & Van Park as the Hosts where most helpful and obliging and assisted me with dispatching my husband's luggage to St Vincent's Hospital on my belhalf as he was admitted unexpectantly whilst we where in Sydney and his luggage was personally hand delivered to him the following day which I was very grateful for.
I would highly recommend the Lithgow Tourist & Van Park for visiting as they are very accommodating going above and beyond to ensure you have an enjoyable peaceful stay.
