Welcome to the historic gateway of the Australian Alps. Cooma Snowy Mountains Tourist Park serves as the ideal base camp for travellers exploring the Monaro High Country and the legendary Snowy Mountains. Situated just a few minutes from the Cooma town centre, our park offers a serene blend of convenience and bushland tranquillity, ensuring you are well-rested before tackling the slopes or exploring the region’s rich pioneer history. Whether you are towing a caravan, driving a motorhome, or looking for a cosy cabin escape, our park caters to all styles of touring with a warm, country welcome.
The park is strategically located for those heading to the major ski resorts of Thredbo and Perisher, both easily accessible for day trips. During the warmer months, the region transforms into a hiker’s paradise, with Kosciuszko National Park offering breathtaking trails, wildflower blooms, and pristine trout streams. Staying in Cooma allows you to enjoy the alpine experience without the premium price tag of on-mountain accommodation, while still providing access to major supermarkets, cafes, and specialist snow gear shops right on your doorstep.
We pride ourselves on maintaining a clean, safe, and family-oriented environment. Our sites are designed to accommodate vehicles of all sizes, from compact campervans to large fifth-wheelers, with drive-through options available to make setting up a breeze. For those travelling without a rig, our self-contained cabins provide all the comforts of home, including heating to keep you toasty during those crisp alpine nights.
One of our defining features is our pet-friendly policy. We understand that a holiday isn’t complete without your four-legged family members. Subject to our park rules, your well-behaved pets are welcome on our powered and unpowered sites, ensuring no one gets left behind. The surrounding bushland offers excellent opportunities for short walks to stretch your legs after a long drive, and the clear country air is perfect for evening relaxation.
Guests often compliment our range of on-site facilities designed to keep the whole family entertained. From a hit on the tennis court to a round of mini-golf, there is plenty to do without even leaving the grounds. Our camp kitchen and BBQ areas provide a social hub where you can swap travel stories with fellow nomads over a hot meal. Discover the charm of the high country at Cooma Snowy Mountains Tourist Park—your perfect launchpad for an unforgettable Snowy Mountains adventure.
