Eildon Pondage Holiday Park

Nestled in the breathtaking foothills of Victoria’s High Country, the Eildon Pondage Holiday Park offers a quintessential Aussie getaway for families, fishing enthusiasts, and nature lovers. Perfectly positioned on the banks of the world-renowned Eildon Pondage and the Goulburn River, this park is an angler’s paradise, famous for its trophy-sized trout. The serene setting, surrounded by lush parklands and majestic trees, provides a tranquil atmosphere where you can truly disconnect and soak in the natural beauty. Just a short, pleasant walk from the Eildon town centre, the park combines peaceful seclusion with the convenience of local shops, cafes, and pubs.

The park is renowned for its spacious, grassy sites that create a relaxed and traditional camping experience. It caters to all types of travellers with a wide array of accommodation, including beautifully shaded powered and unpowered sites for caravans, motorhomes, and tents, as well as a range of comfortable, self-contained cabins. The family-friendly facilities are designed to ensure a memorable stay for all ages. Kids can burn off energy at the swimming pool, playground, or giant jumping pillow, while the whole family can enjoy a meal at the undercover BBQ areas or in the camp kitchen. The park’s pet-friendly policy on sites means your four-legged family members can join in the adventure.

Beyond the park’s boundaries, the Eildon region is an outdoor playground waiting to be explored. Cast a line directly into the pondage from the park’s edge, launch a kayak for a peaceful paddle, or take a scenic stroll along the riverbank. The park is the perfect base for exploring the vast expanse of Lake Eildon, visiting the impressive Eildon Dam Wall, or taking a short drive to the beautiful Snobs Creek Falls. Whether you’re seeking a thrilling fishing adventure, a fun-filled family holiday, or a quiet escape into nature, the Eildon Pondage Holiday Park provides an unbeatable location and a welcoming atmosphere for your next High Country holiday.
