Omeo Holiday Park | Powered & Unpowered Camping in Victoria’s High Country

Welcome to the Omeo Holiday Park, your ideal gateway to the breathtaking landscapes and rich history of the Victorian High Country. Perfectly positioned within the charming township of Omeo, our park offers a serene and comfortable base for every type of traveller. Whether you’re pulling in with a caravan, setting up a camper trailer, or pitching a tent, you’ll find a welcoming spot on our lush, grassy sites, with both powered and unpowered options available. Our park is renowned for its tranquil setting along the banks of Livingstone Creek, providing a peaceful atmosphere where you can relax, unwind, and reconnect with nature. It’s the perfect blend of natural beauty and town convenience, being just a short stroll from Omeo’s historic buildings, local pubs, and cafes.

We pride ourselves on providing excellent facilities to make your stay as comfortable as possible. Our modern amenities block is clean and well-maintained, and our fully equipped camp kitchen is the social heart of the park, a great place to prepare a meal and share stories with fellow travellers. For your convenience, we also offer laundry facilities, a public dump point, and a small kiosk for essential items. The park’s spacious layout ensures you have plenty of room to yourself while still being part of a friendly community. For anglers, the adjacent creek offers fantastic trout fishing opportunities. As a pet-friendly park, we welcome your four-legged family members to join in on the holiday fun. Omeo itself is a hub for adventure, acting as a launching point for exploring the Great Alpine Road, tackling challenging 4WD tracks, or visiting the nearby ski resorts of Dinner Plain and Mount Hotham. In the warmer months, the region comes alive with opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and discovering the legacy of the gold rush era at the nearby Oriental Claims. The Omeo Holiday Park is more than just a place to stay; it’s a destination for creating lasting memories in one of Australia’s most spectacular regions.
