Discover the perfect blend of convenience and natural beauty at Lake Hamilton Motor Village and Caravan Park. Ideally situated on the banks of the Grange Burn and just a stone’s throw from the picturesque Lake Hamilton, our park is the premier choice for visitors to Hamilton and the magnificent Southern Grampians region. Whether you’re passing through, settling in for a family holiday, or seeking a comfortable base for regional exploration, our park’s welcoming atmosphere and extensive facilities provide a home away from home.
Our accommodation is tailored to suit every traveller and budget. We offer a wide selection of drive-through powered sites, many with concrete slabs, ensuring an easy setup for caravans and motorhomes. For those who prefer the comforts of home, our range of self-contained cabins, from deluxe family units to cosy studios, are immaculately maintained and well-equipped. The park is thoughtfully laid out with beautifully manicured gardens, creating a peaceful and relaxing environment for all our guests. Being within easy walking distance to Hamilton’s town centre means shops, cafes, and galleries are always conveniently close.
There is no shortage of things to do right here in the park. Cool off on a warm day in our sparkling outdoor swimming pool, or challenge the family to a game of table tennis or air hockey in our popular games room. The children’s playground is a favourite for our younger guests, while the free BBQ areas and well-appointed camp kitchen are perfect for preparing a meal outdoors. For anglers, the nearby lake is stocked with trout and redfin, offering a fantastic day of fishing. As your day of adventure concludes, relax in the comfort of our park, enjoy the tranquil setting, and plan your next exploration of the stunning waterfalls, volcanic plains, and mountain trails that make this region so unique.
