It's great to learn there are still new parks being developed instead of some medium density tourist development.
I guess the user will have to pay, as usual. All we can hope is they keep the costs reasonable.
We do have to bear in mind the cost of running these places, the power, water, maintenance and staff.

We had a look around some of the Tweed Council parks and found that prices started at about $50.00 per night albeit during xmas and peak times. I think we will probably head more towards Inskip for our beachside holidays... $10.00 per night. No power no water no worries. Seems though to have the same midgies that the Tweed does lol

I don't think we can avoid those pesky little blighters in these areas. Woodgate comes to mind too.
