Nestled in the heart of picturesque Bright and set upon the tranquil banks of Morses Creek, NRMA Bright Holiday Park is the ultimate destination for your Victorian High Country escape. Known as the gateway to the Alpine region, our park offers an unbeatable combination of natural beauty and town convenience. You’re just a stone’s throw from Bright’s vibrant hub of award-winning cafes, breweries, and boutique shops, yet our spacious, leafy grounds provide a peaceful sanctuary to relax and unwind. The gentle sounds of the creek and the stunning mountain vistas create a perfect backdrop for a memorable holiday, whether you’re seeking adventure or a quiet retreat.Our park is a playground for all ages. Spend sunny days cooling off in the heated swimming pool and spa, challenge the family to a round of mini-golf, or cook up a feast in the modern camp kitchen, complete with a pizza oven. We offer a wide range of accommodation to suit every traveller, from spacious powered, unpowered, and ensuite sites for caravanning and camping, to a variety of modern, self-contained cabins and villas. The park’s location makes it the perfect base for exploring the region’s world-class attractions. Cycle the famous Murray to Mountains Rail Trail, hike to spectacular waterfalls in Mount Buffalo National Park, sample cool-climate wines at nearby cellar doors, or hit the slopes at Mount Hotham in winter. With so much to do both in the park and on its doorstep, NRMA Bright Holiday Park is the perfect choice for your next alpine adventure.
