Caravan Park

There's that big joint on the hill with the big Aussie flag. Must have a caravan park as the place is full of gypsies, tramps and thieves.

Hi Paddy

everytime we go to canberra we stay the ACT nudist club, powered sites, pool, clean amenities nice club house, fantastic bunch of people and $15.00 a night for powered site and i recon if you want to stay for three weeks they will do a deal !
not everyones cup of tea of course but we like it

Few years ago we stayed in Watson - had motel units and caravan park - think it is now called Carotel - convenient location.

We stayed at Canberra Motor village Kunzea St

Was oldish and a bit barren but was OK drive through sites mostly all on a hill.

Was reasonably close to everything and not overpriced..

Cant help with recommendations - being a local we dont use CPs here. But remember to include a good heater and plenty of warm clothes. Canberra is not the most camping or caravanning friendly place in winter - plenty of frost in July.
Cheers,

Val.

We have recently stayed at the Canberra Showground - EPIC. There is a large caravan park area with powered sites and reasonable amenities for $25 per night. Sites are grassed and spacious, especially the ones below the amenities block. EPIC is easily accessible as you enter Canberra from Barton or Federal Highways.- it is just off Northbourne Rd and quite convenient to the city centre. Buses go past and there are shopping centres nearby. They do not take bookings, you pay at the office by the main entrance then choose your site. The campground is sometimes closed when the space is taken by exhibitors during show times so it is a good idea to ring ahead and check. We have had two pleasant stays there. It is also the only dog friendly park in Canberra. You are right next to a terrific Saturday Farmers' Market and the trotting track for entertainment! Lynne

Last week we spend 3 days at the Capital country holiday village at sutton 10 kays north of canberra on the federal highway it was quite good and handy to all the attractions. has a lot of villas and permanent housing but it was all neat and tidy will stay there again. Karl

Could I suggest here for a list of caravan parks and low-cost options in Canberra

Hi Paddy,

We are local but was interested to hear people's comments about EPIC (Exhibition Part in Canberra) and suggest it may be a very good option.

Failing that, there is a CV park in Queanbeyan by the river and virtually in the centre of town, just near Riverside Plaza.

You will definitely need a heater, warm bedding and clothing in July.

Enjoy your stay.
