San Remo Beachfront Caravan Park: Your Phillip Island Gateway

Positioned at the very gateway to Phillip Island, the San Remo Beachfront Caravan Park offers an unbeatable location for a classic coastal holiday. Our park is nestled right on the foreshore, providing stunning views of the San Remo bridge and the tranquil waters of Western Port Bay. This is the perfect spot to immerse yourself in the lively atmosphere of a fishing village, with everything you need just a short, pleasant walk away. Step out of the park and you’re right at the jetty for the famous daily pelican feeding, a must-see local tradition. The town’s charming cafes, fresh fish and chip shops, and historic pubs are all at your doorstep.Our park is focused on providing a traditional, relaxed camping and caravanning experience. We offer spacious powered sites set amongst shady trees, allowing you to create your perfect holiday base. While we don’t have cabins, our prime location means you’ll spend most of your time outdoors enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The park is the ideal launchpad for exploring the world-renowned attractions of Phillip Island, including the Penguin Parade, the Grand Prix Circuit, and the Koala Conservation Reserve, all just a short drive across the bridge. For those who prefer to stay local, the start of the spectacular George Bass Coastal Walk to Kilcunda is nearby, offering breathtaking cliff-top views. For a holiday that combines beachfront serenity with the convenience of town life and easy access to world-class attractions, San Remo Beachfront Caravan Park is the perfect choice.
