Experience the Best of Phillip Island
Welcome to Beach Park Tourist Caravan Park, your ultimate coastal sanctuary nestled on the northern coastline of Phillip Island. Our park is perfectly positioned to provide a tranquil and convenient base for exploring all the natural beauty and thrilling attractions this famous region has to offer. Just a short 800-metre stroll from the vibrant Cowes township, you can easily access shops, cafés, and restaurants, making your stay both relaxing and effortless. Whether you’re setting up a tent, parking your caravan, or settling into one of our modern cabins, Beach Park offers a peaceful, family-friendly environment that feels like a true escape from the everyday.
Our park boasts a wide array of facilities designed to make your holiday comfortable and memorable. Take a refreshing dip in our solar-heated swimming pool, or gather with family and friends at the Barbecue-Barn, a communal camp kitchen featuring a cozy log fire for cooler evenings. With two clean and modern amenities blocks, a full laundry, and a dedicated kids’ playground, we ensure all the essentials are covered. We offer approximately 50 large, well-maintained grassed sites, including paved drive-through sites for easy manoeuvrability, catering to caravans, camper trailers, and tents. The park’s setting, with its large shade trees and native birdlife, creates a beautiful, park-like atmosphere.
Beyond the park, a short walk takes you to a beautiful north-facing bay beach, perfect for swimming, fishing, or simply enjoying the serene coastal views. The island is a hub of adventure, with attractions like the world-famous Penguin Parade, the Koala Conservation Centre, and the exhilarating Phillip Island Grand Prix Circuit just a short drive away. For those who love the outdoors, you’ll find numerous short walks and cycling paths, with the stunning coastline providing a spectacular backdrop for your daily activities. At Beach Park Tourist Caravan Park, we are more than just a place to stay—we are your home away from home, where you can unwind, explore, and make unforgettable memories with loved ones.
