Long Jetty Caravan Park: Your Port Welshpool Fishing Haven
Welcome to Long Jetty Caravan Park, the ultimate destination for fishing enthusiasts and families seeking a tranquil coastal escape in the heart of South Gippsland. Situated in the charming fishing village of Port Welshpool, our park boasts an unbeatable location right on the foreshore, with the magnificent, newly restored Long Jetty right at your doorstep. This is a place steeped in maritime history, offering serene, protected waters, breathtaking views across Corner Inlet to the peaks of Wilsons Promontory, and a peaceful atmosphere that invites you to relax, unwind, and cast a line.
Our friendly, well-maintained park offers a range of accommodation to suit every visitor. Choose from spacious, grassy powered and unpowered sites perfect for your caravan, motorhome or tent, or settle into one of our comfortable and clean self-contained cabins for a hassle-free stay. We are a pet-friendly park on our sites (at management’s discretion), so your furry friends can join in the holiday fun. The park is equipped with excellent facilities, including a camp kitchen, clean amenities, BBQ areas, and a playground for the kids, ensuring a comfortable and memorable stay for everyone.
The main drawcard is, of course, the incredible fishing. Corner Inlet is renowned as one of Victoria’s premier fisheries, and the Long Jetty is the perfect platform to chase a huge variety of species, including King George Whiting, Flathead, Snapper, and Squid. With a boat ramp just moments away, you have easy access to the entire marine park. Beyond fishing, you can enjoy scenic walks along the foreshore, explore the Great Southern Rail Trail, or use the park as a convenient base to discover the natural wonders of Wilsons Promontory. For a classic coastal holiday focused on fishing, family, and fantastic views, Long Jetty Caravan Park is the perfect choice.
