caravan parks melbourne

Roddam, as for sight seeing that varies alot from one person to another so the its a wide field.
The caravan builders, most are within a ten kls radius from what I have seen when down there,
The Apollo Gardens tourist Park, 284-290 Hume Hwy Craigieburn .3064 PH 1800886352. was a good park when we were there last year & is a good location to the car/van builders as we had a look at quite a few .Most are within 10 mins drive & the park is on a main rd which runs through the industrial area where they all are.
The park also had a free map of the area showing all the builders & locations, sounds like thats where every one heads to.
Happy hunting.

We live just a few km from Apollo Gardens CP.

In our local Newspaper there was a recent article that it is closing down and that the cabins etc go under the hammer late March.

Apparently the site is to be "developed"?

Apollo Gardens is history.... As mentioned on another forum, try Crystal Brook in East Doncaster.

Oops, that throws a huge spanner in my plans if that park closes, I was heading there in the 2nd. week of March. Anyone recommend a park outside Melbourne busy areas, not too keen on driving around a city with a van and not knowing where I'm going

Gday...

I have stayed twice at the Werribee South Caravan Park down on Beach Road, Werribee South. Not a bad park clean and friendly.

It is adjacent to the Werribee River which is used for swimming and fishing, and is located only 30 minutes from Melbourne central. It is serviced by public transport into the township of Werribee and further afield to the city of Melbourne.

It is only a 30 minute drive from the Spirit of Tasmania Ferry Terminal and offers late checkout when available at no charge.

You need to book before you arrive.

However, if you are looking for vans etc in the north of Melbourne it is probably at the wrong end. But then again it is not far to northern suburbs via the Western Ring Road.

Cheers
John

Thanks John, will check out with our friends whom we are going to Tassie with, sounds like the park at Werribee may be the way to go.

Theres a couple of large caravan places on or near Springvale Rd Which is SE of the city. We havent stayed there, but theres caravan parks nearby at Springvale and Dandenong, also Frankston, & Chelsea (both on the coast). I suggest you study you map carefully to find where you need to be then choose a park. You might find some motels will be cheaper than cabins so near the city.

Good luck with your purchase!!
