Your Riverside Escape in the Victorian High Country

Nestled on six pristine acres along the beautiful banks of the Jamieson River, the Jamieson Caravan Park offers the ultimate sanctuary for relaxation and adventure in Victoria’s High Country. Surrounded by the majestic beauty of towering hills and natural bushland, our park provides a serene, shady retreat perfect for families, couples, and solo travellers looking to unwind. The gentle sound of the river creates a tranquil atmosphere, making it easy to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of daily life and reconnect with nature. Our location is not just scenic but also incredibly convenient, situated just a two-minute stroll from the historic heart of Jamieson township, where you can explore charming cafes, local history, and the famous Courthouse Hotel.

We cater to all styles of camping and holidaying, with a variety of accommodation options to suit your needs. We offer 26 spacious powered sites and numerous grassy, unpowered sites ideal for tents, caravans, camper trailers, and motorhomes. For those seeking a little more comfort, our range of cabins provides a cosy home away from home. The park is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. The direct river frontage is perfect for launching a kayak, casting a line for trout, or simply enjoying a refreshing swim on a warm day. The surrounding area is a gateway to the Alpine National Park, offering endless opportunities for bushwalking, four-wheel driving, and exploring the rich history of the gold rush era. Whether you’re here to conquer mountain trails, explore the shores of nearby Lake Eildon, or simply relax by a campfire under the stars, our park is the perfect base for your High Country adventure.
