Reserviour Creek runs just behind the camping area which runs from Spring until Autumn creating a peaceful place to relax and enjoy.

Breathtaking views of the mountains, an abundance of Australian Wildlife, spacious powered campsites, excellent facilities, a wide variety of cabin accommodations and a very warm welcome! The perfect base to explore the Grampians. Have a dip in our woodfire-heated outdoor pool and enjoy a campfire at night. No matter if you live nearby or come from afar, you will absolutely love the fact you found this place! Glamping in the Grampians is a way to experience the fun of camping, the beauty of nature, and the luxury of home comforts without the hassle of having to put up a tent. Instead of waking up and stepping out of your house into your normal daily routine, you can wake up and step outside of your tent into your own private natural retreat. Fresh air and absolute leisure…what more could you ask for? When you go glamping, everything is prepared for you, pretty much like going to a 5-star hotel. The only difference is that you will be sleeping under canvas instead of in a concrete box (with horrible recycled air flowing around) All you need to do is park your car, unload your luggage, and explore the stunning surroundings. With breathtaking views of the mountains, an abundance of Australian Wildlife, and spacious powered or unpowered caravan sites with modern facilities, we offer the perfect caravan Park experience for your Halls Gap visit with a very warm welcome!

Amazing 5 day camping experience! As beginner campers, this place was absolutely perfect! - very private, quiet, safe, and it truly felt like home. The owners, Tom and his lovely wife Cate, were incredibly welcoming and checked in with us regularly, especially during the rainy days. We really appreciated being allowed to use the indoor facilities for safety. Tom is friendly, kind, and very knowledgeable about wildlife. He took us for a walk around the camping area where we saw wallabies, kangaroos, cockatoos, and even emus! Having breakfast with wild wallabies nearby and spending time with my daughter under a sky full of stars were truly unforgettable moments. Highly recommend! We will definitely be back! Tips: • About 30 minutes to Halls Gap town • Around 25 minutes to Woolworths & BWS • Toilets and showers aren’t right next to the campsite but are within a manageable distance — and super clean! • Weather can change quickly - We set up a tarp over the tent and stayed completely dry. Just be prepared for changing weather!

An amazing spot for both caravans and tents with beautiful views and easy access to the river for fishing or paddling. A yoga session with Michelle enhanced the serenity and took relaxation to another level. Many thanks for your hospitality

Nice spot, plenty of space. The site is mostly nice and flat and the big mobs of roos we saw are presumably responsible for keeping the grass short and neat. We had a great stay and would absolutely come again.

The photos on hipcamp didn't do David's picturesque property justice. You have to visit to appreciate the beauty that the campsite is set on. David met us and took us to our campsite and gave us some local spots to visit during our stay. If you are looking for a peaceful holiday surrounded by nature this is the place for you. We met the pet sheep,alpacas, Galloway's, chooks and the gorgeous puppy Levi. David's hospitality was above and beyond, he invited us to the homestead to collect some eggs and gave us a guided historical tour of the homestead, stables and the old school. After a stormy night he came to check on us to make sure we were ok. We will definitely be back again.

My extended family camped in caravans on grass amongst beautiful gum trees right at the waters edge. We had four kayaks all parked on the sandy launch point, the river was calm with no passing water traffic. Plenty of free wood for our camp-fire easily gathered. Such a peaceful place. We also had a lovely yoga class in an amazing yoga studio on the property.

A great peaceful campsite for a group of friends. A short drive to Halls Gap for a hike, beautiful view. Tom and his wife were very helpful, super friendly and sweet. Just the toilet is a bit too far from the pitch, we sometimes need to drive to the toilet while its late/middle of the night but its super super clean which is a bonus , never seen a clean toilet as this of all my camping experiences. Brought my friends for their first time camp experience and they love the place, they even wanna bring their family here. Thank you Tom for keeping the place beautiful and clean. We have a good experienced.

We had an absolute blast camping at Tom's place! It was lovely meeting him – such a welcoming and generous host. A big thank you for letting us use the kitchen; with the bad weather outside, it really saved us from struggling to sort out meals. The whole experience was fantastic and we truly appreciated the hospitality. Highly recommend staying here!

Despite the poor weather (rain & wind), we enjoyed our camping experience at Grampians Park Station. Tom was a fantastic host and made our stay very comfortable by allowing us to use his commercial kitchen and breakfast area (with a fantastic open fire) as we couldn't use our fire pit. The surroundings of Tom's property were very picturesque with the Grampians as his backdrop. We will definitely be back.
