Entrance to the park off stephenson road

Quiet family-friendly bush park 25 minutes’ drive from The Lakes
A 25-minute drive from Paynesville and ferries to Raymond Island
Fire pits welcome and stores in Bairnsdale 15 minutes’ drive away

Itching to explore The Lakes National Park or go koala-spotting on Raymond Island? Set up base at Lake Bushland Caravan Park in Nicholson, Victoria. This bush destination is quiet and family-friendly, with useful facilities like showers, toilets, a launderette and a dog park. When you’re not unwinding on site, you might be grabbing a morning coffee or picking up groceries at the coffee shop and convenience store within five minutes’ drive of the park. There are plenty more restaurants and stores in Bairnsdale, 15 minutes’ drive away. In Bairnsdale, get stuck into the Bataluk Cultural Trail, art gallery or the East Gippsland Rail Trail (bring your own bicycles). Lakes Entrance is a 25-minute drive from Lake Bushland Caravan Park too. From here, there’s a pedestrian bridge to the famed Ninety Mile beach and access to The Lakes National Park, where kangaroos, pelicans and dolphins are often spotted. Keen to go koala spotting? In Paynesville, 25 minutes’ drive away, catch the foot ferry to Raymond Island. Paynesville is a hot spot for boating, angling, windsurfing and all sorts of watersports – or if you’re feeling lazier, you can always grab dinner at a lakeside restaurant. Wineries are also within a short drive of Lake Bushland Caravan Park.
