BIG4 Castlemaine Gardens Holiday Park

What a hidden gem! A beautiful Big 4 Holiday Park set on a hill overlooking the Castlemaine Botanic Gardens and bush land with huge stands of gumtrees and pines…. magnificent! Walking tracks meander through the bush and the beautifully landscaped gardens are equivalent to the Royal Botanic Gardens in Melbourne.. The amenities, although not new, are kept scrupulously clean and the showers are piping hot! The staff are friendly and welcoming… I will definitely be returning to stay at this park again and spend a little longer in this wonderful town …

With a last minute decision to go to Castlemaine we booked into the BIG 4 caravan park. Beautiful river behind our powered campsite. Kangaroos for visiting us at our van was awesome as were the locals ( magpies) kookaburras and SO PEACEFUL AND QUIET. Would I stay here again….1000%. Amenities are spotless. Reception ( although it was after hours when we arrived nothing was a problem). Dogs are allowed at THIS big 4 but NOT inside the cabins. Caravans and camping YES PROVIDED THEY ARE ON A LEASH. ONE DOWNSIDE IS AT NIGHTTIME ONLY, arriving in the dark it’s near impossible to see your lot number. We accidentally parked in the wrong spot but reception fixed it for us. Heated swimming pool. Go carts are readily accessible for running people down . EVERYTHING IS AVAILABLE FOR YOU TO MAXIMISE YOUR WONDROUS EXPERIENCE. 10/10. Next time will be a powered site with ensuite

Four couples, two in caravans, two sharing an onsite villa, what could go wrong? Absolutely nothing! We had long planned a week long stay in beautiful Castlemaine to coincide with their wonderful garden festival. Lots to do beyond garden visits.. great pubs, dining and unique markets and shops. Big 4 was a great base, with fantastic clean and fully appointed facilities, great staff with enthusiastic local knowledge and pride.

What a lovely caravan park. Paid extra for an ensuite powered site - well worth the expense. Brand new facilities with bathmat, hand towel & liquid soap supplied. Best by far that we’ve encountered out of the 4 we’ve booked on our travels. Easy access to Botanical Gardens from within the park. 5 min walk to The Bridge Hotel for a great meal or The Mill has other options. Flat 15 min walk to Railway Station or Railway Hotel. Great caravan park, beautiful town - hope to return some day.
