In addition to the existing small number of accommodation suites, Banksia Park Estate is now offering camping sites, scattered around the property for self-contained caravans and campervans. A great way to get amongst the gum trees and ti-trees, to sit back and relax with the amazing views.
Take the time to experience Phillip Island and surrounds! Banksia Park Estate is in Newhaven, Phillip Island and is the perfect rural getaway!

We are within walking distance to cafes, restaurants, playgrounds and The Phillip Island Chocolate Factory. A leisurely walk will take you to Newhaven on the Island, and then over the bridge to the picturesque seaside village of San Remo.

We loved our stay at Clancy Springs - Adrian and Sandy are lovely and welcoming hosts. Clancy Springs is camping made easy, which we thoroughly appreciated with two little ones. The camp kitchen is incredibly well equiped and the toilet and shower were always in impeccable condition. We loved dining with the cows and kangaroos at meal times (in the next door paddock!)

Amazing campsite. Great views and facilities.
The ride to campsite is fun. Opening and closing gates gives you a little “outback-ish” feel. A little bit off road.
Adrian is a great guy. Very welcoming and his campsite is well looked after. He updated his facilities about two years ago so all is new.
(Shower is amazing)
The site itself is beautiful and spacious. At dawn the kangaroos show themself in the back field. I guess that explains the name.
10/10 would recommend.

Our 3 night camping experience at Kangaroo Rise was nothing short of spectacular. The hosts Adrian and Sandy are 2 of the most gracious and helpful people you will ever meet! The site itself is very clean and spacious, surrounded by nature. Waking up to Cows moo'ing and Roos going about their mornings within stones throw away made for an absolutely memorable stay. We brought our dog along and he had a blast free roaming within a fenced off area (with other guests' permission of course). We couldn't stop commending the cleanliness and how well equipped the amenities were. It made sense because we learnt that a lot of effort was put into constructing the kitchen, shower and toilet area. It's definitely one of the best we've ever seen and we'll definitely be back. Thanks again Adrian and Sandy for your hospitality!
