Your Gateway to the Upper Hunter Wine Region
Situated in the quaint and hospitable town of Denman, Denman Van Village offers a premium accommodation experience for travellers exploring the Upper Hunter Valley. Known for its rolling hills, rich agricultural heritage, and award-winning vineyards, Denman is a town that invites you to slow down and enjoy the finer things in life. The Van Village itself is conveniently located just a short stroll from the main street, allowing guests to leave their vehicles behind and explore the local shops, cafes, and historic pubs on foot.
The park is designed to cater to a variety of needs, whether you are a grey nomad on the big lap, a family seeking a weekend escape, or a contract worker looking for a comfortable home away from home. The grounds are meticulously maintained, featuring paved roadways and manicured grassy sites. For those towing caravans or driving motorhomes, the powered sites are spacious and easy to navigate.

A coin-operated laundry is available for those longer stays, and the BBQ area provides a great social space to meet fellow travellers. While the park is peaceful and set back from the highway, it remains close enough to the action of the town, striking the perfect balance between seclusion and accessibility.
Using Denman as your base, you are perfectly positioned to explore the wider region. The Upper Hunter is famous for its horse studs and wineries, with cellar doors such as Two Rivers and Hollydene just a short drive away. Nature lovers can venture into the nearby Wollemi National Park or enjoy a scenic drive along the Golden Highway.
