Nhill Caravan Park – Your Wimmera Oasis

Nhill Holiday Park, Your Gateway to the Wimmera & Little Desert National Park

Discover a tranquil oasis in the heart of the Wimmera wheatbelt at the Nhill Holiday Park. This charming and peaceful park offers the perfect blend of country serenity and town convenience, nestled in a picturesque setting right next to the Nhill Swamp Wildlife Reserve. It’s an ideal stopover for travellers on the busy Melbourne to Adelaide route, and a fantastic base for exploring the unique natural attractions of the region, including the magnificent Little Desert National Park. Shaded by mature trees and known for its friendly atmosphere, the park is a welcoming retreat for families, nature lovers, and road-trippers alike.

The Nhill Holiday Park is celebrated for its clean, modern facilities and its spacious, well-maintained grounds. It caters to all types of travellers with a range of accommodation options, from large, grassy powered and unpowered sites perfect for caravans and motorhomes, to a variety of comfortable, self-contained cabins. The park is proudly pet-friendly on its sites, so you can bring your four-legged family members along on your Wimmera adventure. The amenities are designed for a comfortable and enjoyable stay, featuring a solar-heated swimming pool for a refreshing dip on warm days, a well-equipped camp kitchen, BBQ areas, a modern amenities block with a laundry, and even a children’s playground.

The park’s location is a birdwatcher’s paradise, with the adjacent boardwalk offering incredible opportunities to spot the diverse birdlife of the Nhill Swamp. It’s also the perfect launchpad for exploring the dramatic landscapes of the Little Desert National Park, famous for its stunning spring wildflowers and challenging 4WD tracks. Delve into the town’s history at the Nhill Aviation Heritage Centre, enjoy a walk around the serene Nhill Lake, or simply relax by the pool and enjoy the peaceful country air. For a holiday that combines natural discovery with relaxing comfort, the Nhill Holiday Park is a true gem of the Wimmera.
