Horsham Holiday Park – Your Gateway to the Grampians & Beyond

Horsham Holiday Park, Your Gateway to the Grampians & Wimmera

Discover the perfect base for your next Victorian adventure at Horsham Holiday Park, ideally situated on the Western Highway at the eastern edge of Horsham. Whether you’re planning a family getaway, a stopover on the drive between Melbourne and Adelaide, or an adventurous exploration of the majestic Grampians National Park, our park offers a welcoming and convenient haven for all travellers.

Formerly known as the Wimmera Lakes Caravan Park, we provide a fantastic range of accommodation options to suit every taste and budget. From spacious powered and unpowered sites perfect for caravans, motorhomes, and tents, to comfortable, self-contained cabins, you’re guaranteed a relaxing stay. Our park is proudly pet-friendly, meaning your furry companions are welcome to join the family holiday (at the manager’s discretion).

Our location makes us an ideal launching pad for exploring the region’s natural wonders. We are just a 30-minute drive from the heart of the Grampians, placing magnificent views, stunning waterfalls, and world-class hiking trails within easy reach. The park is also perfectly positioned for adventurers looking to tackle the world-renowned rock-climbing at Mount Arapiles or explore the unique landscapes of the Little Desert National Park.

Back at the park, you’ll find everything you need to unwind. Enjoy a swim in the solar-heated pool, cook up a feast at the camp kitchen and barbecue area, or simply relax on our spacious grounds. We’re committed to providing a comfortable and enjoyable environment for all our guests, blending convenience with the natural beauty of north-western Victoria. We look forward to welcoming you to Horsham Holiday Park, where your Wimmera and Grampians journey begins.
