I've used them several times. I always bid 50% of the price + about$20 and so far I've always been successful. As a result I've stayed in caravan parks that I would never stay in under normal circumstances for around $17-18 a night.

I have used them once so far, and been successful in obtaining 10 nights

on a powered site in an Echuca CP. $152.00. Due to current medical probs

am unable to take it up yet, however it's available until April 2014. Looking 

forward to taking the break when back in good condition.

Kevin

They are a good way to travel if you only want c/p and you can plan a long trip as you go

I use them all the time, well a lot anyway. They are great if you can get them, I have been lucky every time and get good sites too.

No I wasn't asleep, I have been for a drive to Cardwell, north of Townsville, Q'land for the the day then did the school run for my daughter.
