Horsham Riverside Caravan Park: Gateway to the Grampians

Your Ideal Base in the Heart of the Wimmera

Perfectly positioned on the tranquil banks of the Wimmera River, Horsham Riverside Caravan Park offers a picturesque and convenient haven for travellers. Known as the capital of the Wimmera, Horsham serves as the ultimate crossroads for adventures into the majestic Grampians (Gariwerd) National Park, the world-renowned rock-climbing hub of Mount Arapiles, and the expansive Little Desert National Park. Our park provides the ideal blend of natural serenity and urban convenience, with lush, grassy sites shaded by magnificent river red gums, all while being just a short, pleasant stroll from Horsham’s vibrant town centre, cafes, restaurants, and shops.

Whether you’re setting up for a family holiday, an adventurous getaway, or a comfortable overnight stop on the Western Highway, we cater to every need. Our accommodation ranges from deluxe riverside cabins to a wide array of spacious powered and unpowered sites suitable for the biggest rigs down to the simplest tents. The park is renowned for its clean, modern facilities, including a well-equipped camp kitchen, spotless amenities, and family-friendly features like a playground and bike hire. Wake to the sound of birdsong, enjoy a coffee overlooking the river, and spend your day exploring the region’s treasures before returning to the peace and comfort of your site. With our pet-friendly policy and direct access to beautiful riverside walking and cycling tracks, Horsham Riverside Caravan Park is more than just a place to stay—it’s your home for exploring one of Victoria’s most diverse and spectacular regions.
