2 nights at Lakes and Craters Holiday Park

This was our first time staying at a holiday park, and we were pleasantly surprised. The park is set high up with beautiful views over the lakes, and it’s located on the same property as the town’s botanical gardens, which was such a cute bonus. The host was really friendly, and because the park wasn’t busy, it never felt crowded. The amenities were excellent — very clean — and the whole park was incredibly well maintained. Overall, a great first experience and one we’d happily repeat.

3 nights at NRMA Port Campbell Holiday Park

The site is well-organised and features a lovely communal kitchen. The toilets are clean, and the location is excellent , it is just a short walk to the beach and nearby restaurants. The only downside is that it can get very windy at times. During our stay, the wind was strong enough to almost blow our tent away, and the slightly wet ground made it difficult for the pegs to hold securely. It’s something to keep in mind that bringing sandbags and heavy-duty metal pegs could help improve tent stability. If in caravan or camper van it’s no stress.
