Glamping and standalone options

Floors and walls are essential, but you would love a feeling of nature surrounding you without giving up the comforts of artificial amenities. Glamping is the perfect compromise: the outdoors meets the indoors!

Big 4 Park Lane Yarra Valley Holiday Park – Glamping – Lodges and beautiful tents in a natural setting for families and individuals, private terraces, “stylish rooms”, and private bathrooms – all within a holiday park with many amenities and close to Hillsville.
Big 4 Taggerty Holiday Park – Bell Tents, Safari Tents (powered and unpowered) located on the River Acheron – the most luxurious camping experience available.
CABN – Living in self-contained cottages – no pressure! In places known only to you for a completely private holiday.

Caravans and campsites

Modern caravan parks are holiday destinations, theme parks, and communities all rolled into one. Think busy kids all day, swimming pools and playgrounds, modern amenities, proximity to towns and the river! And all your neighbours are friendly, and you may spot plenty of wildlife. Plus, there are lodges with the thought of towing a van or setting up a tent.

Here are five of Victoria's best holiday parks!

Warburton Holiday Park – This 22-acre campsite on the banks of the Yarra River will allow you to enjoy life by the water. The newly refurbished lodges, pitches and facilities are first-class. With great tubing along the river and barbecues for every meal, don’t you love dining al fresco? (Plus, the campsite is next to the new Warburton Water World Splash Park, an added plus for the kids).
