MILLION STAR RUSTIC ACCOMMODATION !

Welcome to the charming camping and caravan park retreat nestled on the edge of Boggy Creek Gorge in Nowa Nowa Victoria.

We offer a quirky style private caravan park which has retained its retro feel  with vintage upcycled caravans, metal sculptures, artworks and ….. free ranging chooks. This is not your average park!

From the leafy garden setting enjoy a short stroll on the Gorge and Lakeside walks, to the general store, cafe, textile studio and boat-ramp … walk the network of well marked wilderness hiking tracks, cycle the well known East Gippsland Rail Trail and kayak the calm waters of tree-lined Lake Tyers. Other nearby attractions include the huge Stony Creek Trestle Bridge, the Buchan Caves, several wineries and a microbrewery. For birdwatchers there is an incredible array of bird life here.

The park is tailored to suit quiet mature aged travelling adult singles and couples rather than children.

We are acutely aware of climate challenges and offer a unique camping flavour with minimal environmental impact so if you are looking for a different retreat experience you are welcome to drop in and see if we fit your style.

NO DOGS during peak periods 

A site is strictly only 1 caravan or motorhome or campervan.

 TENTS ….one night only. NO ANNEXES or MATTING

LAWN SITES
Sites are sown lawn, virtually all 14 sites are powered, with water points and have deciduous tree shade in summer. We have a number of drive-through sites (wise to book). I have a lawn fetish so ALL (yes ALL) campers please only use open 700×600 door mats. I ask politely that there be no matting or solar mats or annexes on the lawn whatsoever as it totally buggers the lawn.

WILDERNESS TINY HOME
Oozing character it is a stunning example of workmanship. Highly detailed in Aztec style it has a whopping King-sized loft bed accessible via steep stairs (normal agility required), a shower recess, towels, full size fridge, gas cooktop, microwave, heater, fan etc, the park’s toilet nearby is used.  Suitable for max of two quiet adult guests.

RETRO VAN ACCOMMODATION
Beds are made with fresh linen and top sheet. Vans have kettle, microwave, heater, fan, fridge, cutlery and crockery. Larger Vans 4, 6B and 10 have lounges with smart wifi tv. Towels are included. Suitable for max of two quiet adult guests

There’s wildlife in and around this park including echidna, lizards many native birds, free ranging chooks and a stray domestic duck..

The following is not allowed after you’ve booked….”oh by the way we have a dog”

Due to a number of incidents, (and a bit tired of picking up dog sh*t), we are very strict on dog types allowed into the park.

Well travelled small carpet sweeper caravan dogs are fine, anything else is not …. definitely no attack or working  dogs.

Dogs must be kept quiet and on a lead AT ALL TIMES…. if not, your dog may be asked to leave and you with it.

Pets are NOT PERMITTED in our accommodation areas or camp kitchen for obvious health reasons but are ok shedding fur and fleas in your van

Under NO circumstances are pets to be left unattended while you go sightseeing or get your hair done.

Please realise that other guests may not want to be camped next to your yapping pride and joy

Fish (including prawns) are banned from being gutted, cooked and/or stored in our fridges and accommodation.

ABSOLUTELY NO CAMPFIRES or FIREPITS are to be lit in the park … you can ask until you are blue in the face …none.

(It may be a surprise to some of you with your caps on backwards that not everyone wants your smoke in their Winnebago or tent)

 DO NOT EMPTY CARAVAN CASSETTES WITH CHEMICALS, (or anything else for that matter), INTO THE DELICATE SEPTIC SYSTEM. 

PLEASE …. NO GROUNDSHEETS, ANNEXES or SOLAR MATS ON THE LAWN SITES as it totally buggers the lawn …. 700x 600 door mats are fine.

Don’t even THINK of arriving after the ABC News starts at 7pm  (Office hours are 9am – 5.00pm)

PLEASE CONSIDER OTHER CAMPERS HERE WHO NEED PEACE AND QUIET

This is a small private park tailored to suit mature adult travellers rather than young children.

A strict “No Dickheads” policy applies here. Guests who stay here are quiet, mature adults and have often travelled a long distance ….they expect to relax in peace.

…so… if you want to soak yourself with booze while your screaming kids and/or barking dogs run riot then please keep driving…. there are plenty of other nice parks in our area.

I’ll say it yet again …. A SITE IS CONSIDERED TO BE ONE CARAVAN, MOTORHOME or CAMPERVAN 

Please do not put food waste in the recycling bin ….. pretty obvious you’d think but oh no.

Please be aware of the many wilderness, wildlife and waterway hazards that exist in our immediate area, use your common sense and take the usual precautions.

Unacceptable moronic behaviour will result in immediate expulsion out the front gate and cancellation of the booking without refund.

Our fire safety policy requires that there be no heating, cooling, cooking appliances or candles to be used in the park’s accommodation and common areas other than the ones provided by the park otherwise you will be fully liable for any damage or injury…and you won’t like that !

Please familiarise yourself with the Nowa Nowa Incident Management Plan displayed in accommodation areas, the camp kitchen and the laundry in case an emergency should arise.

 The park is entitled to immediate reimbursement for any unpaid site fees, theft, any form of damage or excessive accommodation cleaning caused by guests.
