Corryong Caravan Park: In the Land of the High Country Legend

Situated in the heart of Corryong, the official home of “The Man from Snowy River,” our park offers more than just a place to stay—it’s a gateway to an iconic Australian story and a region of breathtaking natural beauty. With the majestic peak of Mt Mittamatite as your backdrop, our park provides a friendly and comfortable base for adventurers, history buffs, and families looking to explore the pristine Upper Murray and the foothills of the Snowy Mountains.Our park is conveniently located on the Murray Valley Highway, making it an easy stop for travellers and an ideal base for exploring. From here, you can delve into local history at The Man from Snowy River Museum, pay respects at the grave of the legendary horseman Jack Riley, or embark on your own high country adventure. The region is a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts, offering superb trout fishing in the crystal-clear rivers, challenging 4WD tracks into the remote alpine wilderness, and scenic drives through stunning mountain valleys. The park itself is a peaceful retreat, offering a range of accommodation from shady, grassed powered and unpowered sites to comfortable cabins.
