Opal Caravan Park Lightning Ridge - A walk through. Travelling Australia one town at a time

[@andrewplunkett4055]

We stayed in that caravan park just after Easter. We met some of the lovliest people and had a great few days. Funny story, one of the women we met actually went to the same school as my wife. They both also actually represented the school in the same sport. She is just a few years younger.

Those dryers are extremely efficient. Also the park has an off leash dog park - right at the back on the other side of the 2nd amenities block. There isn't a playground but there is a noodling area which kept the kids busy for ages - my daughter actually found a pretty piece of opal.

One of the best parks we have stayed in and so friendly. Absolutely enjoyed our time there.

Yes agree a great caravan park....we were there in 2018 and look forward to returning again soon

We definitely will go back there. The town, the people, the caravan park all made it a great time

Stayed there in 2012 in a cabin. My only gripe was the vertical blinds sat out too far from the wall allowing people to see in to the bed.

[@onlyleavingfootprints]

They were building more cabins when we were there. Seemed to be placed very close together though so we were wondering if they were going to be for miners or similar workers as all the towns seemed to have alot of different workers staying in tourist parks (main roads, water, poer people etc). That would have been annoying for you with the blinds particularly not keeping the light and heat out too
