Expansive, quiet, sunny, friendly and central to the Yarra Valley.
A nature immersion in an old school caravan park on the doorstep of so much to do!
We think we offer the best caravan park experience in the Yarra Valley, here’s why:
We offer lots of space! Not being a big corporate park we aren’t driven just by “returns by sqm”. Our most rewarding metric is joy of travelers.
Unlike big corporate parks where they are squeezing in more plastic cabins on sealed roads… we are old school, bush feel, gravel roads.
Our sites are big… by design. We could squeeze in heaps more - but we CHOOSE not to! We want you to feel like you’re in a park like your grandparents used to take you to.
We have carefully curated our nature environment to preserve space for wildlife and birdlife that we share the space with. We limit atmospheric lighting to not disturb wildlife, and to allow stargazing. We’re also planting! Deliberate and considered planting to feed the wildlife, insects, birds and to enhance the landscape overall. You will likely see Koalas, Kangaroo, Wombats, Kookaburras, Owls, Frogs and more… We are bordered by a beautiful small river that is a lifeline for all the critters so we work hard to preserve that landscape. You can lounge in the river on hot summers days, picnic by the banks and kick a ball on the expanse of grass without the fear of hitting anyone’s caravan.
We are very close to Warburton, and even closer to the Warburton Bike Park main trailhead BUT we are before all the traffic madness of Warby on a weekend. Stay in a peaceful setting and inject yourself into the action when you choose.
We know that your dog is a treasured travel companion. We also know that people that travel with dogs are respectful of how their dogs impact others. For that reason, we allow dogs on all sites, all year round. Our actual preference would be that dogs come in their own kennels with wheels but until then their owners can bring them and as long as they behave, they can remain with their dog.
Fires are a rite of passage for campers. No use having childhood memories of watching somebody toast marshmallows on a social media video. You need to burn that bad boy and learn that not only is that ok… it tastes awesome. All of our off-grid sites (bush and grass) can have individual fires. For our central powered caravan sites we have a beautiful communal firepit - Make friends, tell tall stories, 5pm Happy Hour!!!
Having said all that… we also know that you don’t just come to stay in our park - you come to visit this stunning tourist area on Melbourne’s doorstep. Good news, we are the ideal Yarra Valley Basecamp, centrally located and an easy transit to Warburton, Yarra Junction, The Healesville / Coldstream wine region, a perfect junction to Gippsland AND, believe it or not, fantastic for visiting Melbourne CBD - a 30 minute drive to a metro train station and one direct train to the city! Skyscrapers by day, stargazing around a campfire by night. We’ve added a whole bunch of things to see and do in the images below. If you like what you see just google the name for specifics. Enjoy!

Our resident Koalas (whilst they adventure off as they see fit)... can be seen most days in the park. They can be tricky to spot but park staff often know which tree they have checked in to.
The Koalas are often on the ground moving between trees which is why dog lead control is critical at all times in the park - at night the same applies to Wombats.
Yarra Valley Caravan Park at night - we manage the light pollution for the wildlife and star gazing.
Revitalised retro amenities and laundry facilities. Multiple coin operated washers and dryers with outdoor clothes lines as well.
Each powered site has a dedicated turf recreation pad, flat gravel park for vans and a dedicated car space. All minimum 10m x 8m.

Lots of space between vans with native gardens planted in between... as the springs unfold it will be a native bird paradise.
Kangaroos grazing in the park dawn and dusk.
Old school Kombi at the caravan park.
All the trees have been inspected and attended to by a L5 Arborist team (guest safety is #1) whilst ensuring Koala habitat and some summer shade is preserved.
The area is a nature, adventure, wine and food lovers paradise.

The O’Shannassy Aqueduct is a stunning riding and hiking trail where you can reconnect to nature on a long, peaceful meander.
LaLa Falls is only minutes out of Warburton town centre and whilst the waterfall is small the walk in is stunning.
The Ada Tree is the largest flowering tree in the world. The +/- 45 minute rainforest path in the most stunning we've seen in the world (in our travels anyway).
This sign on the O’Shannassy Aqueduct gives you a sense of the distance between landmarks. Riding your bike to the Redwoods is a great way to avoid the traffic.

Our favourite "pub" is the Launching Place Home Hotel - a 10 minute drive from the park but worth drawing straws for the designated driver. Great food, atmosphere and very often, music!
