The Park Mount Beauty – Your Alpine Adventure Basecamp

The Park Mount Beauty, Your Alpine Valley & Falls Creek Basecamp

Nestled in the heart of the breathtaking Kiewa Valley, The Park Mount Beauty offers a stunning natural retreat and the perfect year-round basecamp for high country adventures. Surrounded by majestic mountains and lush, green landscapes, this beautifully landscaped park provides a tranquil and scenic escape for families, adventurers, and anyone looking to immerse themselves in the beauty of the Alpine region. Its prime location in Tawonga South, at the foot of Falls Creek, makes it an ideal destination for both summer explorations and winter snow trips.

The Park is celebrated for its modern, clean facilities and its relaxed, friendly atmosphere. It caters to all styles of travellers with a wide range of accommodation options. For those on the road, there are spacious powered and unpowered sites, including large drive-through sites perfect for big rigs, all set amongst beautiful gardens. For a touch more luxury, the park offers a variety of stylish, self-contained cabins, villas, and even glamping tents, ensuring a comfortable stay for everyone. Family fun is a priority, with a solar-heated swimming pool, a fantastic adventure playground, and a giant jumping pillow. As a proudly pet-friendly park, your furry friends are welcome on sites and in selected cabins.

The location is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. In the warmer months, explore the world-class mountain bike trails, hike to stunning lookouts, or cast a line for trout in the pristine Kiewa River. The nearby High Country Rail Trail offers a scenic cycling experience for all abilities. In winter, the park transforms into the perfect off-mountain base for a day on the slopes at Falls Creek, located just a short, scenic drive up the mountain. After a day of adventure, return to the park’s serene environment, enjoy a BBQ in the camp kitchen, or simply relax and soak in the magnificent mountain views. For a holiday that combines alpine adventure with peaceful relaxation, The Park Mount Beauty is an unparalleled choice.
