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 site 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 grocery store within five minutes’ drive of the site. There are plenty more restaurants and shops 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.
