Mansfield Lakeside Ski Village & Caravan Park
Your Lakeside Escape in Victoria’s High Country
Nestled on the breathtaking shores of Lake Eildon, Mansfield Lakeside offers a serene and picturesque escape for holidaymakers all year round. Whether you’re pulling up in a caravan, setting up a tent, or looking for a comfortable cabin, this park provides the perfect base to explore the magnificent Victorian High Country. With direct access to the water, it’s an idyllic spot for boating enthusiasts, keen anglers, and families looking to create lasting memories by the water.
The park boasts a tranquil atmosphere, with spacious sites offering spectacular views across the shimmering lake and surrounding rugged hills. During the warmer months, the lake becomes a vibrant hub for water sports, swimming, and fishing. As the weather cools, the focus shifts to cosy campfires under starry skies and exploring the nearby alpine regions, including the ski fields of Mt Buller. The park’s convenient location combines the beauty of a remote getaway with easy access to the charming township of Mansfield. It’s a place where you can unwind, reconnect with nature, and choose your own pace of adventure, from thrilling water-skiing runs to peaceful bushwalks along the shoreline. The friendly atmosphere and well-maintained facilities ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay for everyone.
