Anglesea Family Caravan Park

Anglesea Family Caravan Park Overview

Look, I’ll be honest – when I first pulled up to Anglesea Family Caravan Park on Cameron Road, I wasn’t expecting much. The name screams “basic holiday spot,” you know? But honestly, this place surprised me in the best way possible. It’s one of those gems that’s been quietly doing its thing while fancier resorts grab all the attention. The whole setup feels refreshingly unpretentious – families actually having fun instead of posing for Instagram shots, kids running around with sandy feet, and that relaxed coastal vibe that you can’t fake.

What really got me was how well they’ve balanced the family-friendly chaos with genuine comfort. The facilities are actually modern and clean (I mean, properly clean, not just “good enough for camping” clean), and the sites are spacious enough that you’re not listening to your neighbor’s midnight snoring sessions. The park sits just far enough from the main Anglesea strip that you avoid the summer tourist madness, but close enough that grabbing fish and chips or hitting the famous surf beach is no drama at all. You know what impressed me most? The hot water never ran out – and if you’ve done caravan park stays before, you’ll know that’s basically a miracle. The camp kitchen was spotless too, with those little touches that show someone actually cares: decent lighting over the sinks, enough bench space, and – this might sound weird – but the fridges didn’t smell like someone’s forgotten prawns from 2019.

The staff genuinely seem to get that families want to relax without drama. Check-in was smooth, they actually knew useful local info (like which beach access points are best for little kids), and when our neighbors got a bit loud one evening, it was handled quietly without making anyone feel awkward. Sure, it gets busy during school holidays – I mean, what doesn’t around here – but even then it never felt chaotic or overwhelmed. The location is honestly perfect if you want that proper Surf Coast experience without paying resort prices. You’re a short walk from the Anglesea Golf Club (where the kangaroos literally graze on the fairways – locals aren’t even fazed by it anymore), and the coastal walking tracks start practically at your doorstep. I found myself coming back here because it just works – comfortable enough that everyone sleeps well, affordable enough that you don’t stress about the budget, and relaxed enough that you actually feel like you’re on holiday instead of managing one.
