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!

Great spot, excellent showers, plenty of wildlife and quite quiet, communication could have been better but this is understandable given the scouts are a volunteer organisation.

The site was a part of Caravan Park and great location. Amenities were very well managed nice and cleaned. There were potable water available and and hot water for relaxed shower. Great place for go away from city noise and throw yourself in the nature. Very comfortable with children aged 3 and 9 too. Highly recommend for camping.

Communication with reception was excellent and informative. Setting and location was Fabulous. Facilities were great, very quaint and unusual but practical and easy to use. Well appointed kitchen equipment. A cat roaming around was the only negative I could think of.

It was cold cold and raining, but it was such a great site with the views of The Grampians in the background. Clean toilets, showers were clean, hot and great water pressure. We will definitely be back for more adventures.

Beautifully well maintained camp area, spaced well apart from others, nice toilet/ shower block, really quiet, only 4 other groups in the whole site over ANZAC weekend. Phone service was patchy, when it worked it was good, but otherwise a dead zone. Easy to find and get to. Would come again!

Price was reasonable, it’s a rough back block of a Cv park on the outskirts of Stawell. Nothing flash with old fashioned facilities and distant traffic noise. What I liked was plenty of space and privacy, ability to have a fire and dog friendly.

Really beautiful, serene grounds. Amenities are basic and probably best to bring your own toilet paper to be safe. Also check for bull ant nests before setting up. Access with a 2WD was no problems. Good value camping, off the beaten track.
