Tooradin Caravan & Tourist Park offers a unique coastal escape located on the northern fringes of Western Port Bay. Situated on Tooradin Station Road, this park serves as a vital link between the urban sprawl of Melbourne’s outer southeast and the rugged, natural beauty of the South Gippsland region. Tooradin is a historic fishing village renowned for its tidal inlets, mangrove-lined coastlines, and a relaxed atmosphere that harks back to simpler times. For travellers looking for a convenient base to explore the Mornington Peninsula, Phillip Island, or the local wetlands, this park provides a functional and accessible setting for both short-term stays and long-term touring.

The area surrounding Tooradin is a haven for birdwatchers and maritime enthusiasts. The town is famous for its unique airfield, its heritage-listed buildings, and the Tooradin Inlet, which serves as a popular spot for those looking to launch a boat or cast a line into the silty, nutrient-rich waters of the bay. Staying at the Tooradin Caravan & Tourist Park allows visitors to enjoy the best of "village life," where fresh local seafood, quaint cafes, and the famous Tooradin ice creamery are all within a short distance. The park itself is shaded by established trees and offers a quiet retreat for those who appreciate the gentle coastal breezes and the rhythm of the tides.

Key highlights for planning your stay in the Tooradin region include:

• Strategic location only an hour's drive from Melbourne CBD, making it an ideal weekend "quick getaway."
