Lakelands Caravan Park: Your Waterfront Sanctuary on Lake Hume
Discover one of the High Country’s best-kept secrets at Lakelands Caravan Park, a stunningly situated holiday park on the tranquil shores of Lake Hume. Located in Tallangatta, famously known as ‘the town that moved’ in the 1950s, our park offers an unparalleled lakeside experience with breathtaking views and a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere. It’s a true paradise for anyone passionate about water sports, fishing, or simply soaking up incredible natural beauty. With direct access to the vast expanse of Lake Hume and the famous High Country Rail Trail running past our doorstep, adventure is never more than a few steps away.
Our park is a haven for campers and caravanners, offering spacious and beautifully maintained powered and unpowered sites. Many of our sites boast absolute water frontage, allowing you to wake up to the gentle sounds of the lake and enjoy spectacular sunsets right from your camp chair. The park is proudly dog-friendly, so your furry companions can join in the holiday fun, with an off-leash area conveniently located nearby.

The location is simply perfect for exploration and recreation. Launch your boat or kayak directly from the park and spend the day exploring the endless coves of Lake Hume, a waterway renowned for its healthy populations of Murray Cod, Golden Perch, and Trout. Cyclists and walkers will be in heaven on the High Country Rail Trail, which offers a scenic journey across the magnificent Sandy Creek Bridge and beyond. The unique 1950s architecture of Tallangatta’s town centre is just a short stroll away, offering charming shops, a bakery, and a classic country pub.
