Discovery Parks - Port Augusta

Discovery Parks - Port Augusta

8/10 Good
"The only thing I'd suggest is some sort of advice about accessibility. I had to climb up & down half a dozen steps to get into the "cabin". I'm new to disability and didn't think to ask. The staff member who showed me where to park so I didn't have to walk so far to and from the car was truly a god-send. Otherwise it was clean, the a/c was quiet, only one spare blanket but otherwise a nice stay."
