Killarney Beach Caravan Park
Your Tranquil Beachside Escape Near Port Fairy
If you’re looking to truly get away from it all and embrace a classic coastal holiday, the Killarney Beach Caravan Park is your perfect destination. Tucked away in a natural beachside environment just two kilometres off the Princes Highway, our park is a sanctuary for those wanting to relax, recharge, and get back in touch with nature. Killarney is renowned for its beautiful, calm swimming beach, which is protected by offshore reefs, creating a safe natural lagoon perfect for families, paddling, and snorkelling. A short stroll over the sand dunes from your site will have you on these pristine shores, ready for a day of fun.
Our quaint, pet-friendly park focuses on providing a simple, relaxing oasis. We offer 15 powered and 53 unpowered spacious, grassy sites, ensuring a comfortable setup for your caravan, motorhome, or tent. While we encourage guests to switch off (there is no park-wide Wi-Fi), you’ll find all the essential facilities you need, including clean amenities, laundry, and a sheltered barbeque area to cook up the day’s catch—Killarney is famous for having some of Victoria’s best whiting fishing! For the kids, a large playground and sports oval provide ample space to play. The park’s location is an explorer’s dream, situated just minutes from the historic fishing village of Port Fairy, the charming Irish township of Koroit, and the incredible Tower Hill State Game Reserve, a dormant volcano teeming with native wildlife.
