Molong Caravan Park – Historic Charm & Quiet Stays in the Heart of Cabonne Country

Welcome to Molong Caravan Park, a hidden treasure located in the picturesque and heritage-listed town of Molong, New South Wales. Situated just 30 kilometres northwest of Orange along the Mitchell Highway, our park offers a serene and traditional camping experience in one of the state’s most beautiful agricultural districts. Molong is a town where time slows down, defined by its stunning 19th-century architecture, rolling hills, and a community that prides itself on genuine country hospitality. Our park provides a restful haven for travellers who wish to immerse themselves in the rich history of the Cabonne Shire while enjoying a quiet, well-maintained base for their regional adventures.

At Molong Caravan Park, we provide a variety of accommodation options to suit every type of traveller. From spacious powered and unpowered sites set amongst mature trees to comfortable cabins for those seeking a few more creature comforts, we ensure a high standard of cleanliness and care. Our sites are designed to accommodate caravans, motorhomes, and campers of all sizes, with level surfaces and easy-access layouts. Whether you are a solo traveller on a nomadic journey or a family looking for a weekend escape, our park offers the perfect balance of proximity to town amenities and the peaceful sounds of the nearby Molong Creek. We are a pet-friendly destination, understanding that the travel experience is always better when your loyal companions can join in the fun.

The Molong region is a gateway to diverse experiences, from the geological wonders of the nearby caves to the boutique cool-climate vineyards that dot the landscape. A short stroll from the park takes you into the heart of Molong’s main street, a National Trust classified precinct filled with quaint cafes, antique shops, and historic buildings. Whether you are here to explore the local history, visit the site of the first copper mine in New South Wales, or simply relax under the wide-open skies of the Central West, Molong Caravan Park is your perfect host.
