⭐ What Makes This Park Special

Family-Friendly Riverside Fun ✅

This caravan park is a beaut spot for families wanting a chilled arvo by the river. Kids will be stoked watching ducks, geese, and even the elusive platypus paddling about nearby. The grassy, tree-lined sites offer safe spaces for little ones to run around, while parents can keep an eye on them from the picnic shelters or grassy banks. There’s plenty of room for a game or two, and the walking trails along the river provide a gentle adventure for all ages. Just watch the little tackers near the river edge – it’s a lovely spot but needs a bit of supervision.

Beautiful Views That'll Take Your Breath Away 🌅

Set right on the Meander River, this park offers stunning natural beauty that’s hard to beat. Most sites back onto the river, giving you front-row seats to peaceful water views and abundant birdlife. Platypus sightings are a highlight, with these shy critters often spotted gliding through the currents at dusk. The well-kept gardens and green grassy areas add to the charm, while the nearby historic suspension bridge and river walks invite you to explore the scenic surrounds. The quiet town of Deloraine is just a short stroll away, perfect for a brekkie or a lazy arvo wander.

Top-Notch Amenities & Friendly Service 🚽

Cleanliness is a standout here, with multiple reviews praising the spotless amenities block, hot showers, and well-maintained laundry facilities. Powered and unpowered sites cater to different camper needs, and there’s ample parking available. The staff, especially caretaker Kevin, are known for their friendly, helpful attitude and local knowledge, making your stay hassle-free. The park’s proximity to town means you’re never far from shops, pubs, and cafes. Just a heads up, some sites are a bit close together, and the railway line nearby means you’ll hear a couple of trains a day, but most find it more charming than annoying.

Spot Platypus & Feathered Mates 🦆🦘
