### 1/5 — Not helpful for us

*2025-04-21*

We downloaded to try to find a caravan dump point. It gave only one nearby which we drove out of our way to get to. It didn’t exist.

### 5/5 — A beaut little helper

*2025-03-29*

Have used the app for more than a year across five stars and have found it to be accurate

### 1/5 — Outdated

*2025-02-25*

Hobart dump sites outdated Locals tell me most does not exist and only at caravan parks. Driving around to 2 and being told they have never seen it. Money wasted on this App

### 2/5 — Nor that accurate

*2024-09-27*

I have found this app not that accurate with directions and dump points not being where they were supposed to be.

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2023-11-10*

I thought it would show dump points on our trip. 
It would show points 80 klms away on highway. Don’t buy it

### 5/5 — Excellent facilities

*2023-10-18*

This place is a great place to park up for a few days.
Very safe, you can leave your van and explore the Barossa from here.

Toilet facilities are new and clean.
You can top up in water all for a donation of $5 per day

### 1/5 — Inaccurate app

*2023-10-15*

First showed a dump point that was closed, then nearest was a ferry ride away, then we found a dump point that wasn’t listed. Easier to just Google.
