Boulevard Caravan Park, Eildon

★★★★☆ (4.4/5) – A peaceful angler’s retreat.
The Boulevard Caravan Park offers a tranquil and picturesque escape in the heart of Eildon, perfectly positioned for anglers and those looking to explore the Victorian High Country. Situated right on the banks of the famous Eildon Pondage and the Goulburn River, this small, friendly park is a haven of peace and quiet. Unlike the bustling holiday parks focused on lake-based watersports, the Boulevard is celebrated for its serene atmosphere and its status as a premier destination for trout fishing. The park features a range of accommodation options, including grassy powered sites suitable for caravans and campervans, as well as several comfortable, self-contained cabins.The key attraction is the direct access to the Pondage, a waterway renowned for being regularly stocked with trout, making it one of Victoria’s most reliable fishing spots. A walking and cycling track runs right past the park, following the water’s edge and leading directly into the Eildon town centre. The park itself is well-maintained with clean facilities, including a toilet and shower block, a laundry, and a camp kitchen with BBQ facilities. It is also a pet-friendly park, welcoming furry friends on its sites, which adds to its appeal for many travellers. While it doesn’t have the extensive children’s facilities of larger parks, its quiet charm, excellent fishing, and convenient walking distance to town make it an ideal choice for couples, keen anglers, and families seeking a more relaxed and nature-focused holiday. It serves as a fantastic base for exploring the wider Lake Eildon National Park, the dam wall, and the scenic beauty of the surrounding region.
