Lakeside Tourist Park Robe South Australia | An adventure … around Oz with dogs in a caravan

Rating: 3/5

Location: Lakeside Tourist Park, 24 Main Road, Robe, South Australia

On Thursday, we arrived in the historic seaside resort town of Robe.

However, those wild winds were still blowing the grey from Kev’s beard and we could only imagine how beautiful the beach would look on a calm day.

Robe used to be one of the Limestone Coast’s largest shipping ports and the Cape Dombey Obelisk was built in 1853 as a navigational guide for ships entering the bay.

Apparently, it wasn’t completely successful and it probably gets an occasional mention in the stories told down in Davy Jones locker.

The Lakeside Tourist Park is a privately owned, heritage caravan park located just outside of the town’s centre beside a lake with it’s lush, well-tended lawns.

We both really liked the park and would certainly recommend it and Robe is such a beautiful town, we wished we could have stayed a little longer.

However, there are sarcastic signs hung behind the toilet and shower cubicle doors at the van park about cleaning up after yourself which stopped just short of asking users to empty the rubbish bins and scrub the sinks.

The signs state that it is to save the owners money on cleaning costs and I’m sure that they would pass those savings on to us punters if everyone whipped out the toilet brush. Who is being sarcastic now? I know, and there are those who say that sarcasm is the lowest form of wit!
