My stay was enjoyable, with a beautifully maintained park that offers a relaxing atmosphere ideal for families. The facilities were clean and kept in good condition, providing great amenities. However, the location of some camping sites could pose a challenge, especially for those farther from the amenities. Additionally, being next to smokers can affect the overall experience, so it would be great if there was a smoking ban in certain areas.

Amenities like the updated amenities block, pool, and boat hire made our stay great. Everything was well-maintained, though additional toilet facilities near the non-powered campsites would be beneficial.

We enjoyed a lovely two-week stay at the park, which was exceptionally well-maintained with spotless amenities and a beautiful pool area. The people running the place were friendly, and we appreciated the nice touch of the 'get to know you' BBQ. However, we experienced some issues with water pressure in the amenities, and the nearby long-term residents made it feel a bit less welcoming at times.

We had an amazing time at this beautiful top Tourist park! The park was very well maintained, and the amenities were clean and modern. Plus, the staff were super helpful and made our stay enjoyable. The only downside was that we wished we could have stayed longer, as there was so much to explore in the area.

My stay at Anchorage Holiday Park had its ups and downs. While the park is beautifully maintained with great landscaping, the management seems to have dropped the ball on ensuring safety and cleanliness. I had a great time despite a few hiccups, especially with the conditions of the amenities during peak times. Overall, there's potential for a fantastic experience.

The park has some nice features like an immaculate pool area and offers fun amenities like bikes and kayaks for hire. However, the experience was overshadowed by some poor interactions with staff and issues with condition and accessibility of the facilities. We left feeling that it didn't meet our expectations for value and comfort during our stay.
