Marysville Caravan and Holiday Park
Where the Mountains Meet and the River Runs Through
Set in the breathtaking landscape of the Yarra Ranges, Marysville Caravan and Holiday Park offers an unforgettable escape just a short, scenic drive from Melbourne. Our park is uniquely defined by the crystal-clear Steavenson River, which meanders directly through the grounds, creating a tranquil and picturesque environment for all our guests. This is a place to reconnect with nature, where the sound of flowing water and birdsong provides the soundtrack to your holiday. Surrounded by the majestic mountains and lush forests that characterise this renowned region, our park is the perfect base for both adventure and relaxation.
We offer a diverse range of accommodation to suit every need, from warm, self-contained two-bedroom cabins perfect for families and couples, to spacious powered and unpowered sites for caravans, campervans, and tents. The park’s central location puts you within easy walking distance of Marysville’s charming town centre, with its delightful cafes, shops, and the popular Duck Inn pub. Whether you’re here to witness the spectacle of Steavenson Falls, explore the walking and mountain biking trails of Lake Mountain, or simply enjoy some old-fashioned fun building dams in the river, our park provides the perfect setting. With modern amenities and a friendly atmosphere, we invite you to experience the natural beauty and resilient spirit of Marysville.
