We had a week at Cania with great walks around the area....we stayed at the first c/park which is close to all the walks but the Big4 park is nearer the lake but you have to car it to the walks. Depends if you want to fish or walk but the t/t park is very nice. Have a great trip

We also stayed at the first caravan park - simply because we wanted to do the walks - nice park. The other one was nice as well, but we were happy we stayed where we did.
