Situated just a stone’s throw from the heart of Mallacoota, our park provides a peaceful and convenient base from which to explore the region’s abundant natural wonders.

Our park is meticulously maintained, boasting well-manicured, grassed sites that cater to a variety of setups, from small tents to large motorhomes. The park’s layout is designed to offer both shade and open space, ensuring a comfortable stay regardless of the season.

The town itself has a rich history, with the WWII bunkers offering a fascinating glimpse into the area’s past. A’Wangralea Caravan Park is not just a place to stay; it’s a gateway to an unforgettable adventure, where every day brings a new opportunity to connect with nature and create lasting memories.
