My stay at BH Outback Resort was quite an adventure overall. The resort itself has a beautiful setting with stunning mountain views, and the rooms were spacious and clean. The service from the staff was warm and genuine, making my experience more enjoyable. However, I did encounter some challenges with booking and communication, which was frustrating. The ongoing construction might not be ideal for everyone, especially if you're looking for a quiet escape.

My stay at the resort was quite mixed. While the restored buildings were aesthetically pleasing and had a decent setup for caravanning, the lack of shade and the noise from the generator were drawbacks. The manager provided minimal service, which detracted from an otherwise potentially enjoyable experience. Overall, it’s a comfortable place to stop while exploring the area but could use some improvements.

Our stay at the resort had some highlights and notable drawbacks. The location was lovely with great grass sites and friendly kangaroos, making it a nice getaway from the nearby city. Unfortunately, the amenities were less than impressive and the power issues were quite frustrating. While the reception staff provided good service, the cleanliness and upkeep of the facilities left much to be desired.

I had a fantastic camping experience at this resort! The overall charm and character of the campground made it feel unique and welcoming. The amenities were incredibly clean and well-designed, enhancing our stay. However, while the location is perfect for some tranquility, it is a bit distant from the main attractions of Broken Hill, which could be a consideration for those wanting to explore more. Overall, it’s a solid choice for a relaxing retreat.
