Esk Caravan Park & Rail Trail Motel

We recently stayed at this caravan park with our kids and unfortunately found it not suited for families. The park seems primarily geared toward older travelers or long-term residents, and while we respect that, it wasn't what we were expecting. There are a lot of rules, and while we understand the need for structure, the environment felt overly strict and unwelcoming. Permanent residents seemed to go out of their way to enforce these rules, especially one individual who made our stay particularly uncomfortable. Rather than feeling like visitors, we felt like we were intruding on a private retirement village. If you're a young family looking for a relaxed and friendly holiday spot, this probably isn't the right fit. We won’t be returning, but it might suit older couples or solo travelers looking for a quiet, regimented stay.

What a great park. From the time that you arrive, you are greeted by such wonderful staff. The park is so neat and clean and amenities are good. Camp kitchen is well stocked and pizza ovens are great. Fire was great in the camp kitchen as well. Such a variety of accommodation options. We were there with a big group of over 100 people and nothing was an issue for them. Will definitely be back.

Absolutely fabulous caravan park. Just love the artificial turf caravan sites, so clean, no dust or mud going into the caravan. Spotless ablutions, great hot showers. Love the “couples” bathrooms behind the pools, so convenient for a shower after swimming. Lovely clean warm “adults only” pool, great to soothe aching muscles after a long cycle. And even better, the really good live music on the Saturday night (24th May). Alan was excellent and had us all singing along. We have introduced several friends to this caravan park and we’ll all be back

At first glance the premium ensuite site looks daunting. It is directly opposite the pool and camp kitchen, and the space is tight. The staff expertly guided us onto the site, which is walled on 3 sides for privacy. The ensuite is older but very clean. The park is quiet (we stayed mid-week) clean and well-kept. Staff were awesome. Could not fault this park and would return.

Had a great weekend at The Esk Caravan Park. Amazing amenities, very friendly and amazing team. They couldn't do enough for us. The two pools are just beautiful. Very clean showers and bathroom facilities. The Park is close to everything you need in town. We are now planning a return trip and can't wait to get back.

Beautifully appointed caravan park, you simply could not ask for more. Super friendly staff. Fabulous cabin with everything we needed. So peaceful, even during school holidays! Great location, walk to everything. Will be returning asap for sure!
