Caravan Parks or Showgrounds near Victorian Silo Art

If things work out, we are hoping to be in Victoria looking at silo art, painted water tanks/towers, during winter. Being a Queenslander I am sure I will be feeling the cold so if we go in the motorhome we will be looking at staying, overnight, at caravan parks, showgrounds or somewhere we can hook up to power as we need electricity for heating. I am looking for recommendations on places to stay. Doesn't need to be the bigger towns. Also, what are the average costs of Victorian caravan parks these days? It has been a long time since we've spent time in Victoria. Usually when we holiday in the motorhome we free camp, donation camp, showground camp, caravan park camp - whatever is available when we decide to stop for the day, but this time it will be winter. So just looking for your thoughts and ideas. Thanks.

Hi Gaylehere
2019, we left Victor Harbour and come back via the Victorian Silo Trail, lots of good experiences, we were surprised at the amount of low cost camping, for us the only night we really wanted power because of the rain we, it was late, headed into a showgroung which was not as good as it could of been but cheap.
Wikicamps has it covered really with donation camps, I do recall some of the towns out Western Victoria RV Camps having power.
We just drove around towing the caravan taking the silo art in and when the day was drawing to a end we would head for a camp.

We stayed at warracknabeal in a small park by a creek, good hub to do the silo trail from, left the van there spent the day doing the trail & the ,stick shed, park was cheap, council guy came around in the afternoon for the fees,
Wikicamps is your friend,
JOHN.

Hi Gaylehere,
There are several different silo art trails in western Victoria.
Virtually all have cheap accommodation options but not all have power available, which is not too much of a problem as the silo's are mostly not too far from each other.
Lake lascelles at Hopetoun is a favorite and is central to the original trail. $20.00 lakeside with all facilities.
Enjoy your trip.
Cheers

When we were last down that way, we stopped at Lake Lascelles for lunch and were very impressed.
As I recall there were some low-cost sites right round the far side.

There is a lovely donation spot at Brim. Many powered sites for first in. Brim silos are well worth seeing at night when they have spot lights on them.

When in winter?
Early winter can still be good but mid july-mid august can be bloody cold at night and early morning,
Just ask the cows and sheeps anywhere along the Murray Valley highway, who will be wearing heavy frost ' coats '
