The Alpine Tourist Park Adaminaby – Your Gateway to the Snowy Mountains

Nestled in the heart of the historic high country, The Alpine Tourist Park in Adaminaby offers an unparalleled base for travellers seeking to explore the majestic Snowy Mountains of New South Wales. Whether you are planning a winter ski trip to Selwyn Snow Resort or a summer fishing expedition on the pristine waters of Lake Eucumbene, our park provides the ideal blend of convenience, comfort, and rugged alpine charm. Adaminaby is more than just a gateway; it is a destination steeped in history, famous for the “Big Trout” and its resilient community spirit following the Snowy Mountains Scheme.

At The Alpine Tourist Park, we cater to all types of adventurers, from solo motorcyclists and families in large caravans to those seeking the simple pleasure of a well-pitched tent under the clear mountain stars. Our site is designed to accommodate the diverse needs of the modern traveller while maintaining a peaceful, community-focused atmosphere. The high-altitude climate ensures refreshing, crisp air during the summer months—a welcome reprieve from the coastal heat—and a magical, frost-kissed landscape during the winter season.

Choosing to stay in Adaminaby allows you to experience the authentic “High Country” lifestyle. The town serves as a vital hub for regional exploration, located within easy driving distance of the Yarrangobilly Caves, Kiandra’s historic goldfields, and the expansive Kosciuszko National Park. After a long day of hiking, skiing, or trout fishing, returning to the quiet surrounds of our park ensures a restful night. We pride ourselves on providing essential facilities that make your stay seamless, allowing you to focus on the breathtaking natural beauty that surrounds us.

Our commitment to hospitality means we are always ready to share local knowledge, from the best hidden fishing spots to the most scenic driving routes through the mountains.
