BIG4 Riverside Swan Hill

Your Ultimate Murray River Getaway in Swan Hill

Discover the perfect Murray River getaway at BIG4 Riverside Swan Hill, the only holiday park located right in the heart of Swan Hill, Victoria. Proudly owned and operated with genuine country hospitality, our park sits directly on the banks of the majestic Murray River, offering a serene, bush-setting atmosphere while still being just a short walk from the town centre and key attractions.

We provide a diverse range of accommodation to suit every traveller, family, and budget. Choose from our modern, self-contained cabins, ranging from luxurious, multi-bedroom River Edge Villas with stunning water views to spacious Superior and Deluxe cabins perfect for families, or opt for a comfortable Studio Cabin for a couple’s retreat. Each cabin is well-appointed with kitchen facilities, air conditioning, and private bathrooms to ensure a comfortable stay. For those travelling with a caravan, camper trailer, or tent, we offer a large selection of powered sites, including options with concrete slabs, lush grassy areas, and enviable river frontage. We are also proud to offer pet-friendly options, so your whole family can join the holiday.

Your stay can be as active or as relaxing as you wish. The park’s facilities are designed for fun and convenience. The kids will love the giant jumping pillow, the modern games room, and making a splash in the solar-heated swimming pool. The whole family can enjoy a meal at the undercover BBQ areas, hire a bike to explore the riverside tracks, or grab a coffee and a treat from our on-site café. We are also conveniently located directly next to the expansive Riverside Park, which features excellent public playgrounds, walking trails, and outdoor exercise equipment.

Swan Hill is a region rich in history and natural beauty. Our park is the ideal base to explore iconic local attractions. Take a step back in time at the famous Pioneer Settlement, enjoy a historic cruise on the PS Pyap paddle steamer, or witness the spectacular ‘Heartbeat of the Murray’ laser light show after dark. Fishing enthusiasts will love casting a line directly from the park’s extensive river banks, with the Murray River known for its Murray Cod and Golden Perch. Whether you’re seeking a family adventure, a relaxing break, or a base to explore the Murray region, BIG4 Riverside Swan Hill provides a truly memorable experience.
