Managed by the dedicated volunteers of the Korumburra A & P Society, this park offers a friendly, relaxed, and genuinely welcoming atmosphere for all travellers. Situated on the spacious and grassy showgrounds, the park provides ample room for all types of setups, from large RVs and caravans to camper trailers and tents. Its prime location is a major drawcard, placing you right next door to the renowned Coal Creek Community Park and Museum, a fascinating heritage village that brings the area’s coal mining history to life. The park is also just a short, pleasant walk from the centre of Korumburra, with its classic country pubs, charming cafes, and essential shops.
The Korumburra Showgrounds is particularly popular with the RV community for its excellent facilities and great value. Visitors can enjoy access to clean amenities with hot showers, a camp kitchen, and a convenient on-site dump point. The park is proudly pet-friendly, making it the perfect choice for those travelling with their four-legged family members. The large, open sites ensure you never feel crowded, and the park’s position makes it an ideal launchpad for scenic drives through the Strzelecki Ranges or for cycling a section of the Great Southern Rail Trail. For a comfortable, convenient, and budget-friendly stay that offers a true taste of regional Victorian life, the Korumburra Showgrounds Caravan Park is an unbeatable choice.
