Experience the quintessential charm of the New South Wales South Coast at Moruya Holiday Park. Ideally situated along the picturesque banks of the Moruya River, this inviting retreat offers a perfect blend of riverside serenity and town convenience. Located just a short, level stroll from the historic township of Moruya, the park serves as an exceptional base for exploring the Eurobodalla region. Whether you are seeking a peaceful morning watching the river drift by or an adventure-filled day exploring the nearby beaches and national parks, this location provides the best of both worlds.
The Moruya River is the lifeblood of the area, and at Moruya Holiday Park, you have front-row seats to its beauty. The park features its own private boat ramp, making it a dream destination for water sports enthusiasts. Guests can easily launch a kayak for a quiet morning paddle, cast a line for bream and flathead directly from the riverbank, or head out for a day of boating. The proximity to the river ensures a cooling breeze during the summer months and provides a stunning backdrop for those evening BBQs as the sun sets over the distant mountains.
Accommodation at Moruya Holiday Park is designed to cater to every style of traveler. For those on a road trip, the park offers spacious powered and unpowered sites, including sought-after riverfront positions and convenient drive-through options for larger rigs. If you prefer the comforts of home, the selection of self-contained cabins and villas ranges from budget-friendly options to deluxe riverfront villas featuring private spas. As a proudly pet-friendly park, your four-legged companions are welcome on all sites and in dedicated pet-friendly cabins, ensuring the whole family can enjoy the holiday together.
One of the standout features of staying here is the ease of access to local culture. Every Tuesday, the SAGE Farmers Market—voted one of Australia’s best—takes place just across the road at Riverside Park, offering fresh local produce, seafood, and artisanal goods. On Saturday mornings, the Moruya Country Markets bring the town to life with crafts, food, and music. With pristine beaches like Broulee and Shelly Beach just a short drive away, and the rugged wilderness of Deua National Park on your doorstep, Moruya Holiday Park is more than just a place to stay; it is your gateway to the authentic South Coast lifestyle.
