Mitchell Caravan Park

14/05/2020 by Bourke Tourism

Mitchell Caravan Park is a family-run haven owned by Judy and Les, who, together with their dedicated managers, have poured heart and hard work into transforming the park into a true outback retreat.

Surrounded by lush gardens and offering spotless amenities, inviting cabins, and welcoming outdoor spaces, the park provides a refreshing oasis amid the rugged beauty of the Australian outback.

Extensive upgrades are underway, with major improvements already completed — from refurbished ladies’ amenities to newly furnished cabins with fresh linen, crockery, and cutlery. The next stage will see each cabin gain its own ensuite, replacing the outdoor ones. The newly installed pool, completed in September 2024, has already become a favourite among guests.

Judy, Les, and the team take pride in creating a warm, friendly atmosphere where every visitor feels at home. Be sure to join the nightly 5pm Happy Hour by the camp kitchen fire pit — the perfect spot to relax, meet fellow travellers, and share a few stories (and tall tales) from the road.

Make a booking today by contacting us on (02) 6872 2791 or visit our website at mitchellcaravanpark.com.au
