PIZZA, piping hot from the wood-fired oven - it makes your mouth water just thinking about it.
Home-cooked meals are served up every night of the season at Bedrock Village, and they’re all delicious. But the pizza - pepperoni, ham and pineapple, chicken or vegetarian - well, that’s fast becoming the park’s signature dish and is served up a couple of times a week. It’s a great way to wind down after spending the day on a tour of the attractions of the region. And after dinner, relax around the campfire to listen to the owner strum a few of your favourite songs.
This is the sort of pleasure that’s in store when you stay at Bedrock Village.
