Numurkah Caravan Park: Your Creekside Haven

Experience a true ‘creek change’ at the beautiful Numurkah Caravan Park, an award-winning retreat nestled on the tranquil banks of Broken Creek. This is the perfect spot to unwind and embrace the peace and quiet of a classic country town, while still being perfectly positioned to explore the bountiful Goulburn Valley and Murray River regions. Our park prides itself on its serene atmosphere and immaculate presentation, offering a friendly and affordable base for your travels. The town’s charming main street, with its historic pubs, local shops, and cafes, is just a pleasant five-minute walk away, as are the local swimming pool, golf course, and bowls club.The park is a haven for relaxation and nature. Spend your days fishing for Murray Cod and Yellowbelly in the creek, spotting the abundant local birdlife, or simply relaxing under the shade of a gum tree with a good book. Our central location makes us an ideal hub for day trips to the wineries of the region, the historic Port of Echuca, or the magnificent Barmah National Park with its world-renowned river red gum forests. We offer a range of accommodation to suit every traveller, including clean, superbly appointed air-conditioned cabins, on-site vans, and spacious drive-through ensuite and powered sites that make parking a breeze. Whether you’re here for a weekend escape or a longer exploration, our friendly team looks forward to welcoming you to our slice of paradise.
