Dorrigo Mountain Holiday Park

Perched on the edge of the Great Dividing Range, Dorrigo Mountain Holiday Park offers an unparalleled opportunity to immerse yourself in the natural grandeur of the New South Wales Northern Tablelands. Located along the world-renowned Waterfall Way, our park is the ultimate destination for nature lovers, bushwalkers, and those seeking a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of coastal life. With its high altitude and proximity to Gondwana Rainforests, Dorrigo provides a unique climate where the air is fresh, the landscape is emerald green, and the sound of cascading water is never far away.

The park serves as a gateway to the spectacular Dorrigo National Park, a World Heritage-listed wonder featuring ancient Antarctic Beech trees and breathtaking lookouts. Travellers can spend their days exploring the Skywalk, which offers bird’s-eye views across the rainforest canopy to the Pacific Ocean, or trekking to the base of the iconic Dangar Falls. At Dorrigo Mountain Holiday Park, we have tailored our environment to reflect the peaceful spirit of the plateau. We offer a range of accommodation options, from spacious powered sites for large caravans to sheltered areas for traditional camping, all maintained to the highest standards to ensure your stay is comfortable and relaxing.

One of the greatest appeals of staying in Dorrigo is the town’s rich agricultural heritage and vibrant local community. The town centre is a delightful mix of boutique galleries, traditional bakeries, and cosy cafes where you can sample locally grown produce. Our park’s location allows you to enjoy the best of both worlds: the solitude of the mountain and the convenience of nearby amenities. Whether you are visiting for a quiet weekend of birdwatching or using Dorrigo as a base to explore the wider New England region, you will find our facilities designed to meet every need of the modern explorer.

The changing seasons on the Dorrigo Plateau are a highlight for many visitors. From the mist-covered mornings of winter to the vibrant floral displays of spring, the landscape is constantly evolving. We invite you to unhook your caravan, pitch your tent, and settle into the relaxed pace of mountain life. At Dorrigo Mountain Holiday Park, we pride ourselves on our warm hospitality and our commitment to providing a clean, safe, and beautiful environment for all our guests. Discover why the Waterfall Way is considered one of Australia’s most scenic drives and make our park your home in the clouds.
