Discover the quiet charm and historic allure of Peak Hill Caravan Park, located in the heart of the Central West of New South Wales. Positioned perfectly on the Newell Highway between the bustling centres of Parkes and Dubbo, Peak Hill offers travellers a serene sanctuary to rest and recharge. As a town steeped in gold mining history, Peak Hill provides a unique backdrop for your next caravan or camping adventure, combining heritage character with the modern conveniences essential for today’s nomadic lifestyle.
Our park is designed to be a “home away from home,” prioritising cleanliness, comfort, and a relaxed atmosphere. We understand that after a long day on the road, accessibility is key; therefore, we offer spacious drive-through sites that can accommodate even the largest rigs with ease. For those seeking a break from the van, our well-appointed cabins provide a cosy retreat. The park is surrounded by established gardens and mature trees, offering plenty of shade and a peaceful environment that feels worlds away from the highway noise.
The local region is a treasure trove for explorers. A short stroll from your site takes you to the famous Peak Hill Open Cut Gold Mine, where spectacular views and fascinating history await. The township of Peak Hill itself boasts a welcoming community spirit, with local boutiques, heritage buildings, and friendly pubs all within easy reach. Whether you are using us as a strategic stopover on your journey north or south, or as a base to explore the “Dish” at Parkes or the Western Plains Zoo at Dubbo, you will find our location unparalleled.
At Peak Hill Caravan Park, we are proud to be part of the local landscape and strive to offer an authentic country experience. We are a pet-friendly destination, recognising that your four-legged companions are an integral part of the travel experience. With clean amenities, a dedicated camp kitchen, and a management team that truly cares about your stay, we invite you to experience the golden hospitality of the West. Join the many travellers who return to us year after year to enjoy the simple pleasures of outback New South Wales.
