The newly refurbished ensuite caravan sights are lovely- big showers, super clean and strong water pressure. Great park set up and the beautifully kept. Trees are manicured and the park is well lit. All the staff were excellent, extremely friendly and helpful. I would go back anytime.

A clean, well maintained and friendly caravan park. Great sites and easy access to town or a walk to the railway station. We travel with friends and also we’re lucky enough to meet and socialise with other couples around the open fire in the camp kitchen. Great staff are there to help

Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable of the area. Sites are clean of debris and made parking the caravan easy. Thanks for making us feel welcome. Next time I am in the area I will be staying longer than a couple of days. Hopefully the weather is better too. Would recommend a stay here.

This was our second visit to the Park in under a year. Castlemaine is a great town and the Parks close proximity to the Botanic gardens, the Mill, the Bridge Hotel etc. makes it a perfect location. We were able to walk everywhere we wanted to go and this just added to the experience, We stayed in a clean and comfortable cabin with everything we needed, and we definitely plan to return again to enjoy this great town.

We stayed in a two room cabin for two very cold nights in Castlemaine. Even though there was ice on the car in the morning, the room stayed nice and warm thanks to heating and fairly good insulation (for a cabin). Nice park facilities and well maintained and equipped cabins. We could have cooked our own meals in there if we wanted to. Fortunately with Das Kaffeehaus just across the road and the Railway Hotel just around the corner we didn't have to. They are both close and really nice places to eat.

Thanks for your wonderful review ExperiencedWoodsman. We are glad you found our self-contained cabins warm and cosy, winter is right around the corner and we do get some very chilly nights at this time of year. We are lucky to be located across the road from some great cafes and pubs, our guests are certainly spoilt for choice! We hope to welcome you again soon.
