Located in the quiet hamlet of Taggerty, you are perfectly positioned to explore the wonders of the Victorian High Country, from the challenging hiking trails of the Cathedral Ranges to the aquatic playground of Lake Eildon and the charming nearby towns of Alexandra and Marysville.

Our park is a spacious, green sanctuary where you can truly connect with the natural environment. We offer a range of accommodation to suit every traveller, including large, grassy powered and unpowered sites perfect for caravans, motorhomes, and tents, as well as comfortable, fully equipped cabins for a home-away-from-home experience. The Acheron River, meandering along the edge of the park, is a highlight for many guests, offering fantastic opportunities for fishing, kayaking, or simply relaxing by the water’s edge on a warm day. Park facilities are designed for your comfort and enjoyment, featuring a solar-heated swimming pool, a modern camp kitchen, clean amenities, and a playground for the kids. In the evenings, gather around a park-provided fire pit (subject to restrictions) to toast marshmallows and share stories under a brilliant starry sky.
