Victoria Park Caravan Park | Historic Queenscliff
Discover Historic Queenscliff from a Tranquil Park Setting
Set amidst the green, established grounds of the Queenscliff Recreation Reserve, Victoria Park Caravan Park offers a uniquely peaceful camping experience right on the edge of one of Victoria’s most historic and charming seaside towns. This park provides a refreshing alternative to bustling coastal resorts, allowing guests to relax in a serene, park-like atmosphere with mature trees and ample space. Despite its quiet setting, it’s just a short, pleasant stroll from the heart of Queenscliff’s heritage-listed main street, the bustling harbour, and the iconic Searoad Ferry terminal. This makes it the perfect base for travellers who appreciate both nature and convenience, providing an ideal spot to set up your caravan or camper and explore everything the town and surrounding Bellarine Peninsula have to offer on foot.
The park is well-equipped to handle all types of vehicles, from camper trailers to large motorhomes, with a range of powered sites to suit every need. Its central location is its greatest asset; spend your days wandering through grand Victorian-era hotels, browsing boutique shops and art galleries on Hesse Street, or exploring the formidable Fort Queenscliff. Enjoy fresh seafood at the harbour, take a heritage steam train ride on the Bellarine Railway, or simply relax on the nearby beach. For day trips, the ferry to Sorrento is moments away, opening up the Mornington Peninsula for further exploration. Victoria Park serves as a comfortable, affordable, and incredibly convenient hub, allowing you to immerse yourself in the rich maritime history and elegant architecture of Queenscliff while enjoying a classic, relaxed caravan park holiday.
