Wilsons Prom Holiday Park – Your Gateway to Nature’s Playground

Positioned as the closest accommodation to the entrance of Wilsons Promontory National Park, the BIG4 Wilsons Prom Holiday Park in Yanakie is the ultimate base camp for one of Australia’s most spectacular natural destinations. This park offers an unparalleled location, nestled on the shores of Corner Inlet with breathtaking, panoramic views across the water to the majestic peaks of The Prom. It’s a place where you can disconnect from the world and reconnect with nature, all while enjoying the premium facilities and comfort that BIG4 parks are known for. Whether you’re here to tackle the summit of Mount Oberon, feel the pristine white sand of Squeaky Beach, or simply relax by the water, this park is the perfect gateway.

The park itself is designed for relaxation and family fun, providing a range of accommodation options to suit every traveller. For those in caravans or motorhomes, there are spacious powered sites, including premium seaview sites that offer uninterrupted water views. Campers can set up on grassy unpowered sites. For extra comfort, the park features a wide array of modern cabins and tiny homes, from couples’ retreats to larger family-sized villas. The park is proudly pet-friendly for all camping sites, meaning your four-legged friend can join the adventure (pets are not permitted in cabins).

While the main attraction is undoubtedly the national park just minutes down the road, the holiday park itself is a destination. A modern, fully-equipped camp kitchen and BBQ areas are perfect for cooking up a meal, while the kids will love the playground and basketball court. The Yanakie Boat Ramp is located right at the front of the park, providing direct access to the renowned fishing spots of Corner Inlet. With its combination of stunning natural beauty, high-quality amenities, and direct access to Wilsons Prom, this holiday park is an exceptional choice for your next Gippsland adventure.
