Gambells Rest Review
I stayed here with a group of 8 people in 4 small Tents this weekend.
Lets start with the good things :
Booking v efficient, People friendly and helpful. Site clean and rubbish free, Hot shower that works, very clean undercover Barbeque area with 4 electric BBQs and 2 sinks. 4 tables that seat 6 each.Site quiet. Pizza in the village fantastic. Pub looked nice but didnt get to check it out (Btw kitchens seem to close at 8.30pm)
Bad things
I have to say I was disappointed on arrival as the pitches are more geared for Campervans/trailers - NOT tents as the ground is hard, uneven graded surface with lots of rocks and stones. Tents have to be pitched in a penned out area which is not conducive to a great social camping experience. Thought from the others was it was a bit souless. I was expecting more of a grassy campsite (the picnic area across the road would have been ideal )
To help other campers in the future if you are going to use a tent then ensure that all have decent mattresses. Would also recommend a tarp to put under the tent to protect the floor. It might be limiting for those that have kids and want them to run around freely unsupervised.
Overall Morton NP worth a visit as stunning scenery and great walks (some steep)
