Whether you’re stopping over between flights, beginning a caravan tour of Victoria, or visiting for an extended stay, this park provides a comfortable and affordable base. Located in the quiet suburb of Attwood, it gives travellers the perfect balance of easy access to the airport and major transport links, while also providing a peaceful, family-friendly environment.

The guest laundry is a convenient touch, and the free airport shuttle service is a huge bonus, ensuring stress-free transfers for all guests who book directly with the park. This makes it particularly popular with fly-in, fly-out workers, international visitors, and families starting or ending their holidays.
Beyond the park’s boundaries, the area offers plenty to see and do. Shopping enthusiasts can visit the nearby DFO Essendon, while those seeking a unique experience can try indoor skydiving at iFly or surfing at URBNSURF. The park’s location also provides a great starting point for exploring more of Victoria’s natural beauty, with places like Organ Pipes National Park and Woodlands Historic Park only a short drive away.
