Experience the Goldfields Heritage at Castlemaine Central

Nestled in the heart of the historic Goldfields region, Castlemaine Central Cabin and Van Park offers a unique blend of convenience, comfort, and Victorian charm. Whether you are a solo traveller seeking a quiet retreat or a family embarking on a regional adventure, our park serves as the perfect base to explore the rich cultural tapestry of Castlemaine and its surrounding landscapes.

The town of Castlemaine is renowned for its vibrant arts scene, spectacular botanical gardens, and preserved colonial architecture. Staying at our centrally located park means you are mere footsteps away from local artisanal bakeries, boutique galleries, and the famous Castlemaine Vintage Bazaar. Our facilities are designed to cater to the modern nomad while maintaining the relaxed atmosphere that regional Victoria is celebrated for.

Our site features range from well-appointed self-contained cabins to spacious powered sites suitable for various caravan sizes. The park is meticulously maintained, ensuring a clean and safe environment for all guests. We pride ourselves on our local knowledge and are always happy to recommend the best local walking tracks or the most scenic drives through the Mount Alexander Shire.

The surrounding region is a haven for nature enthusiasts. From the serene paths of the Castlemaine Botanical Gardens to the more rugged terrain of the Castlemaine Diggings National Heritage Park, there is a trail for every level of fitness. After a day of exploring the deep leads and relics of the gold rush era, guests can return to the park to enjoy the quiet evening air or visit one of the many award-winning local bistros located within a short stroll of the front gate.

Accessibility is a key feature of our location. Situated directly on Barker Street, the park provides easy road access for larger rigs and is within walking distance of the Castlemaine Railway Station, making it an ideal choice for those travelling via the V/Line network. We invite you to discover the warmth and hospitality of the Goldfields at Castlemaine Central Cabin and Van Park, where history meets modern convenience.
