Welcome to Wagga Wagga Tourist Park, your ideal home away from home in the heart of the Riverina. Conveniently located in Forest Hill, just a short 10-kilometre drive from Wagga Wagga’s bustling city centre, our park offers the perfect blend of city convenience and peaceful, spacious surrounds. We are strategically positioned just off the Sturt Highway, making us an effortless stopover for travellers journeying between Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide. Our location is also exceptionally convenient for those visiting the RAAF Base Wagga, which is just a moment’s drive away.

As a proudly family and pet-friendly park, we cater to all types of travellers. Bring your caravan, motorhome, or tent and choose from a wide variety of site options, including spacious unpowered grass sites, powered slab sites, and extra-long drive-thru sites for ultimate convenience. For those seeking the comforts of home, we offer a diverse range of cabin accommodation to suit every budget, from standard cabins to deluxe two-bedroom villas. Our park is designed for relaxation and family fun, boasting a sparkling swimming pool, a children’s playground, and ample space to run around.

Our facilities are here to make your stay comfortable and hassle-free. These include a large, clean amenities block, a fully equipped camp kitchen, free gas barbeques, a coin-operated laundry, and an on-site dump point for park guests. We are also proud to be pet-friendly for guests on caravan and camping sites, at the manager’s discretion, so your four-legged family member can join the holiday. Explore the best of Wagga Wagga from our central base, from the nearby RAAF Heritage Centre to the beautiful Murrumbidgee River, Lake Albert, and the city’s vibrant cafes and galleries.
