Jindabyne Holiday Park comes with your standard set of holiday park facilities. There are cabins, vans, powered sites and unpowered sites.
On my visit I was swagging it (as everywhere else was booked out), and looking for a place I could bag a hot shower and cook a warm meal. Being the middle of winter, hot showers don't come easy, but they are oh so good. And the showers here are good, if you can find your way in through the access control system.
On check in you are issued a 4 digit code. This will get you and your car through the front gate, and into the amenities block and laundry block. My code seemed to work most of the time, although wouldn't let me into the male showers in the morning on one side. Perhaps a test of awaken-ness. This code allegedly also expires beyond the checkout time - so don't be late or you might not be going anywhere fast. Another benefit - no keys to lose or return.
The showers are hot and with good pressure. There is also a camp kitchen, which although is exposed to the elements by virtue of being only partially enclosed, is heated by a number of strip heaters around the room. The Camp Kitchen has two barbeques, two hot plates, a microwave, toaster, pod coffee maker and a fridge (perhaps useful so your stuff does not freeze in the winter, or bake in the summer).
This holiday park is right in the centre of town, a short walk to the local pubs, and directly across from the Woolworths and other stores so its super convenient with everything walking distance. Its right on the lake too and the camp sites take advantage of this by being on the lakeside. The price seems about right for the peak time of the season - unpowered site isn't exactly cheap at $35 for one person, but given the seasonality of pricing around here probably reasonable. It does get cold here in winter too, so bring your warm kit :) read more
