The Top 10 Caravan Parks In Victoria

The place where you set up your caravan is almost as important as your caravan itself. You want a site that is safe for you to stay on and in a location that suits your needs - whether you want to be near local attractions or just somewhere beautiful, easy access is key.

While going off the beaten road is always an option, don’t forget the humble caravan park when you’re looking for a place to stay! Are you having trouble choosing which caravan park you’ll visit on your next trip? Check out this list of the top 10 caravan parks in Victoria and go from there!

Why We Love Caravan Parks For Holidays

Many Australian families make their best memories at caravan parks, and in Victoria we’re lucky enough to have a huge array of caravan parks to choose from. Here are some of the reasons so many of us love visiting caravan parks when we holiday.

Powered sites - Electricity can make your holiday a lot more comfortable, providing energy to cook, wash and stay warm or cool when you need it. Most of the time, you get electricity when camping through generators or solar panels. But caravan parks give you a better option - using powered sites!

Many caravan parks offer sites with access to a powerbox, which allows you to plug in one or two cords to power your caravan with. This means constant and reliable electricity for the entirety of your holiday, allowing you to stay comfortable and not stress about noisy generators or weather-dependent solar panels for your power.

Keep in mind that sites like this will be more expensive to use than unpowered sites, but the fee may offset a lot of stress in the end!

Family-friendly sites and activities - Many caravan parks are marketed as family and child-friendly, making them ideal spots for young families. These caravan parks will often have wide roads and parks that allow children to roam and play safely and may even offer children’s bikes and scooters for rent. 

You can also expect activities like movie nights, craft sessions, sports games and holiday-specific games like Easter egg hunts, Christmas stocking decorating and New Year's accessory making.

Easy to get to - Finding the perfect offroad site often means driving down some pretty winding, steep and bumpy roads. Luckily, accessing caravan parks is super easy by comparison! 

Caravan parks will have flat, spacious sites that are easy to get to, as they are designed for even the bulkiest caravans to be able to enter. Many are inside or just outside towns, so you don’t need to go far off the track to find them either.

Access to nearby attractions - A caravan park's location often correlates with easy access to nearby attractions, making it a more attractive place to stay. Whether it’s natural features like beaches, rivers, forests, and mountains or man-made fun like theme parks, shops, and shows, a caravan park will be nearby for you to use!

Some caravan parks may even offer discounted rates to these attractions, so make sure to do your research if there’s a particular place you want to visit while you’re away.

Safe - Surrounded by other campers and away from wild animals, caravan parks are some of the safest places to set up your van. Caravan parks often boast safety features like fully staffed receptions and regular patrols, fences and gates around hazards like pools, gas cans and generators, clear areas for evacuation in case of emergency and well-maintained facilities and playgrounds.

Affordable for your setup - If your caravan is a little old and beaten, a caravan park is always a smart option for holidaying in. Flat concrete slabs to rest your van on, easy access to amenities and many fellow campers who are fellow caravan lovers all makes for a great experience that you can enjoy in any kind of caravan.

Now that you’re excited to find the location of your next holiday, let’s look at some of the best holiday parks for caravans in Victoria!

Camping Adventures offers accessory installation services for your caravan or camper, so you can camp comfortably no matter where you are!
