This makes it easy to stock up on supplies before heading into the park for a day of hiking, wildlife spotting, and discovering pristine beaches.Our family-run park prides itself on providing a friendly and relaxed atmosphere, set amongst beautiful gum trees. We offer a range of accommodation to suit every traveller, from comfortable, fully self-contained ensuite cabins to spacious powered and grassy unpowered sites for caravans and campers. The park is an excellent hub for exploring the wider region. Cycle or walk a section of the Great Southern Rail Trail, which runs right through town, visit the spectacular Agnes Falls, or explore the exquisite wineries and gourmet food outlets dotted throughout the scenic hills. After a day of adventure, you can return to the park and cook up a meal in the camp kitchen, sharing stories with fellow travellers. For a holiday that combines natural wonders with country town charm, Prom Central Caravan Park is your perfect destination.
