We cater to every style of traveller with a diverse range of accommodation, from spacious, grassy powered and unpowered sites perfect for caravans and tents, to comfortable self-contained cabins and unique, charming yurts. A true camping experience isn’t complete without a campfire, and we encourage guests to gather around one of our riverside fire pits to share stories under the stars. The park is just a short, pleasant stroll from the Mount Beauty town centre, where you’ll find a supermarket, boutique shops, and a growing scene of fantastic breweries and cafes. Whether you’re seeking an adrenaline-fueled escape or a peaceful retreat from city life, our family-friendly park provides the perfect setting to create lasting memories.
