Welcome to The State Centre Caravan Park, a hidden gem located in the welcoming village of Tottenham, New South Wales. Famously recognized as being the closest township to the exact geographical centre of the state, Tottenham offers a unique outback experience for travellers seeking peace, quiet, and authentic country hospitality. Our park serves as the perfect base for exploring the “Soul of the Centre,” providing a relaxed atmosphere that captures the true essence of regional Australia without the hustle and bustle of major highway transit zones.
The State Centre Caravan Park is designed to accommodate a variety of travel styles, from solo backpackers to large touring groups. We offer a range of accommodation options including comfortable cabins, “hut-style” rooms perfect for budget travellers, and spacious powered and unpowered sites. Our sites are well-suited for larger rigs and motorhomes, featuring level surfaces that ensure a stress-free setup. The park is managed by the local community and shire, reflecting the pride and warmth that the residents of Tottenham are known for. Guests can enjoy clean, modern amenities and a community-focused environment that makes everyone feel right at home.
While staying with us, you are perfectly positioned to explore the local history and natural beauty of the Lachlan Shire. A short drive will take you to the geographical centre of New South Wales, marked by a historic cairn made of local mine slag. The town itself is rich in copper mining heritage and features vibrant street art, including mosaics and the recently painted water tank murals. Whether you are visiting for the famous Tottenham Picnic Races, the Yellow Mountain Cross Country enduro, or simply to enjoy the star-filled outback skies, The State Centre Caravan Park provides a comfortable and affordable sanctuary. Experience the heart of NSW with us and discover why so many travellers return to our quiet corner of the Central West.
