Caravan parks near Gloucester

·

With its rugged terrain characterised by the Great Dividing Range, Gloucester offers a rock-solid caravan camping experience. Holiday parks near the meandering Gloucester River provide a comfortable home base for whitewater rafting and kayaking excursions. Powered caravan sites by the river, some on pull-through paved pads, may be supported by amenity blocks with showers, toilets, and laundry machines. A bit north, anglers can visit the Manning River catchment for reeling in Australian bass, then drive into the mountain range for bushwalking at Barrington Tops National Park. Pet-friendly caravan pitches in and near the park typically offer picnic tables and barbecue grills—plus shaded pitches next to spacious grassy areas for kids to run around. Wake up and go trekking on the Sharpes Creek walking track or biking up to Careys Peak lookout—where you should keep an eye out for red-necked pademelons and brush turkeys. Caravan campers visiting in summer may want to find powered sites to beat the heat. Alternatively, head to the Gloucester during spring or autumn when temperatures are milder.

An exclusive, natural camping experience situated on the beautiful Gloucester River under the picturesque Bucketts Mountains. We are just 5 minutes from Gloucester CBD. The Bucketts are within the country belonging to the Biripi and Worimi peoples, with Gloucester being known as Mookibakh. In the native language, the Bucketts mountains (the Buccan Buccan) means the “father of stones looking down on sacred land.” As an active beef farm we may have cattle in the paddock you camp in but the site will be secured by temporary electric fencing to ensure your safety. Hence, we ONLY allow dogs to stay whilst on a lead or tethered run at all times. Dogs sighted off a leash will result in you leaving immediately with no refund. Most of the year the river is lovely and clear and ideal for swimming, fishing, photography or just enjoying. Wedgetail Eagles, Black Cockatoos, Black Shouldered Kites, Kookaburras and Butcher Birds life in the area. As do kangaroos, possums and echidnas. Our night skies are very clear, no pollution here! All of our campsites are perfect for having a campfire (fire season dependent). Our sites are ideal for self-contained vans, camper trailers, medium motor homes, tents or swags, it’s up to you. You must have your own toilet facilities and take away all waste. This is very important and an absolutely essential requirement for all visitors. As is the case with general rubbish. You should bring sufficient water with you as we do not provide drinking or potable water. You will have very good mobile and internet coverage across the property. When you make a reservation at the property we will always endeavour to put you in your preferred location as best we can. However if we are impacted by adverse weather or need to run cattle on certain parts of the farm then we may need to make a change to the actual site you are in and trust you understand. We look forward to you visiting our farm!
