Located just one and a half hours drive northeast of Melbourne and at the western edge of Victoria’s High Country, BIG4 Taggerty Holiday Park sits in natural bushland and stretches for 1 km along the Acheron River.

Family owned and operated, the park offers a variety of accommodation options. For caravanners and campers, there are both powered and unpowered sites. Some of the powered sites have concrete slabs, and there are also a few sites with ensuites. The unpowered sites are all grassy. You can choose from sunny, shady or riverfront spots and there are some drive-through sites available. If you want some extra indoor space, there are cabins in a range of sizes and standards that sleep up to six people in two or three bedrooms.

With numerous activities on offer, your stay at BIG4 Taggerty Holiday Park can be as relaxing or as energetic as you like. With its river frontage, it’s the ideal place for fishing, kayaking, swimming or just splashing around. If you prefer not to swim in the river, the park also has a pool. For those more interested in land-based sports, there are areas for cricket, basketball, tennis and mini golf, and the younger kids are also well catered for with a playground, sandpit and jumping pillow. Or if that’s not enough to keep everyone in the family occupied, there’s also a games room and even a giant chess board for anyone who’d like some mental exercise.

Your visit to the Park doesn’t have to mean being constantly on the go, though. If you just want a quiet, relaxing stay by the river, you can do that too. The park also has the more usual campground facilities such as camp kitchen, barbecues and fire pit, as well as a laundry and dump point. Wireless internet is available as well.

Taggerty is a small town, but if you need some supplies the nearby general store sells groceries and local produce and also has a café and bottle shop. Alternatively Alexandra is only 18km away and has a range of other facilities including doctors, chemist, hospital, post office, as well as cafe’s, coffee shops, pubs and more.

THINGS TO DO
The Taggerty area is really all about the outdoors and there’s plenty to do not far from the holiday park.

Water Activities
Lake Eildon is just a short drive away. It’s the perfect place for all sorts of water activities including boating, skiing and fishing. The Goulburn River, in addition to the Acheron, is suitable for kayaking, or throw a line into one of the local rivers and see if you can catch some dinner. If you want to be guaranteed a catch, visit the nearby Buxton Trout and Salmon Farm.

Bushwalking and Waterfalls
There are plenty of bushwalking options in the area, including Cathedral Range State Park, and Rubicon Aqueducts. Or why not combine a hike with a visit to a waterfall? Head to Marysville to see Keppel Falls or Stevenson Falls, one of the tallest in Victoria, or visit Snobs Creek Falls near Thornton.

Mountain Biking
Bike tracks for all levels of experience can be found in the Buxton Mountain Bike Park and at Lake Mountain.

Animals
If you don’t mind a bit of a drive, the Mansfield Zoo has a variety of animals, from native species such as dingoes, wombats and kangaroos to exotic species including lions, meerkats and monkeys.
