Park fees. Why so ? when you're solo
(Preview)
I've done a quick search and couldn't find any info on this subject. Occasionally, I pull into a park and am always charged the same amount as for two people. Why is this so? Today, thinking about my recent trip, I found a caravan park receipt showing, under how many people staying overnight,...

It's in NSW. about 145 K's north east of Dubbo. A friend of mine told me to be sure to stop in at the local caravan park, when next travelling NSW.

Really about the same amount of time, will...
