Canobolas Caravan Park Orange – Relaxing BIG4 Accommodation in the Central West

Welcome to Canobolas Caravan Park, a premier holiday destination located in the picturesque “Colour City” of Orange, New South Wales. Nestled on the eastern approach to the city, our park provides a peaceful and manicured sanctuary for travellers seeking the perfect blend of country air and modern convenience. As a proud member of the BIG4 network, we are committed to providing high-standard facilities and a welcoming atmosphere that serves as the ideal base for exploring the renowned cool-climate vineyards, historic gardens, and gourmet food culture that the Orange region is famous for.

Our park is thoughtfully set back from Bathurst Road to ensure a quiet and restful stay, far enough from the highway to provide peace but close enough to ensure easy access to the Orange CBD, which is just a short 2.5km drive away. Whether you are arriving with a large motorhome, a standard caravan, or a small tent, our spacious powered and unpowered sites offer level surfaces and plenty of room to move. For those looking for a little more luxury, our range of self-contained ensuite cabins and mountain cottages provide a “home away from home” experience, complete with reverse-cycle air conditioning to keep you comfortable through Orange’s distinct and beautiful seasons.

Orange is a region defined by its natural beauty and agricultural abundance, and Canobolas Caravan Park puts you right in the heart of it. We are a pet-friendly park, welcoming well-behaved dogs on our caravan and camping sites, so the whole family can enjoy the holiday together. From our gate, you are perfectly positioned to visit the majestic Mount Canobolas, explore the Federal Falls walking tracks, or spend a relaxing afternoon at the Lake Canobolas Reserve. Whether you are visiting for the annual Orange F.O.O.D Week, the Wine Festival, or a quiet weekend getaway, our friendly team is dedicated to ensuring your stay is relaxing, comfortable, and truly memorable. We look forward to welcoming you to the stunning Central West.
