Caravan parks close to Melbourne

A common question we get asked is where are the nearest caravan parks to the Melbourne city centre?

While travellers towing a caravan, those with campervans, motorhomes or tents are well catered for in rural and regional Victoria, choices are limited close to the centre of Melbourne. This is mainly due to the amount of space caravan parks would occupy in areas where land is at a premium.

We have compiled a list of all the caravan parks that are within 25 kilometres drive of Melbourne’s CBD that permit short stays, which means they are suitable for holidaymakers, travellers or casual visitors looking for somewhere to stay with their caravan or campervan.

See the map at the end to see the location of all these caravan parks in relation to each other and Melbourne’s city centre.

    Hi, are any of these close to public transport into the CBD?

      All those caravan parks have public transport options into the city, however some require service changes – for example, catching a bus and then a train.

      If you want to use a single service with no changes then Discovery Parks BIG4 Melbourne is a good choice. It is located on bus route 220 which goes to Melbourne’s CBD – this journey takes about 25 minutes. Alternatively, Crystalbrook is along bus route 906 which goes to Melbourne’s CBD, but that takes much longer – around 45 minutes.
