The Nowa Nowa Caravan Park
_____________________________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.

A strict “No Dickheads” policy applies in this park.
Absolutely NO CAMPFIRES or pits to be lit in the park…you can ask till you’re blue in the face.
(It may surprise some of you with your caps on backwards that not everyone wants your smoke in their Winnebago or Blackwolf tent)
No smoking or candles in the park’s accommodation, common areas of the park or anywhere near me.
There is quite an extensive camp kitchen …. please keep it clean for other guests

DOGS ETC ….. READ THIS SECTION ONWARDS VERY CAREFULLY
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 generally 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
DO NOT EMPTY CARAVAN CASSETTES WITH CHEMICALS, (or anything else for that matter), INTO THE DELICATE SEPTIC SYSTEM. If you block the system it may cost you $500
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 channel 9 News starts at 6pm.
PLEASE CONSIDER OTHER CAMPERS HERE WHO NEED PEACE AND QUIET
This is a small private park tailored to suit mature age adult travellers rather than young children and does not have permanent residents
Guests who stay here are quiet, mature age adults and have often travelled a long distance and they expect to relax in peace, so do i.
…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, CAMPERVAN or TENT
Please do not put food waste in the YELLOW recycling bin ….. pretty bloody obvious you’d think, but oh no !

Unacceptable moronic behaviour will result in immediate expulsion out over 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 !
