Nestled on the serene shores of Lake King, Eagle Point Caravan Park is your gateway to the magnificent Gippsland Lakes, Australia’s largest inland waterway system. This idyllic park offers a pristine natural environment, perfect for those seeking a tranquil escape with a wealth of outdoor activities right at their doorstep. Named for the majestic white-chested sea eagles that frequent the area, the park is a haven for nature lovers, families, and water sports enthusiasts. Just a five-minute drive from the boating capital of Paynesville and a short ten-minute drive from the regional hub of Bairnsdale, Eagle Point provides the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and convenient access to local amenities.
With direct access to the Lake King foreshore, the park is a paradise for all kinds of water activities. Spend your days fishing for bream and flathead from the nearby jetties, launch your boat from the ramp for a day of water skiing, or simply enjoy a refreshing swim in the calm lake waters. The park is also a stone’s throw from the world-renowned Silt Jetties of the Mitchell River, a geological marvel and a fantastic spot to cast a line. Surrounded by natural bushland, the area is rich with walking and cycling trails, offering wonderful opportunities to spot local wildlife and enjoy the stunning lakeside scenery.
Eagle Point Caravan Park provides a range of accommodation to suit all travellers, from comfortable, self-contained cabins with beautiful lake or garden views to spacious powered and unpowered sites for caravans and campers.
