Fun for All the Family

Remember those wonderful holidays when the whole extended family got together?

Perhaps you sat by a campfire on a chilly night, toasting marshmallows and listening to stories from Grandma and Grandad. Or enjoyed carefree mornings at a nearby playground. Maybe the family headed off with eskies and deck chairs for a long lunch at a favourite bush picnic spot.

Relaxing with family, exploring the great outdoors and making fun-filled holiday memories to last a lifetime is what BIG4 Castlemaine Gardens Holiday Park is all about.

There’s so much here to see and do for everyone — Mum, Dad, grandparents, the kids and family friends. You’ll find just the right balance of activities for all ages, from outdoor adventures and fascinating history to arts, culture, great food and local wines.

Take a ride on the Victorian Goldfields Railway steam train, enjoy a movie and ice cream at the iconic Theatre Royal, share a laugh at Woop Woop or spend a morning at the Botanical Gardens’ fabulous play space — and that’s just for starters.

So, plan a holiday with family here at BIG4 Castlemaine Gardens Holiday Park. You can discover some of our favourite family-friendly activities right here, to get things started. And we also have a whole heap of fun activities happening at the park during every school holiday!

Wonderful place to stay. We have stayed here more than a dozen times over more than 15 years and can honestly say that it's probably one of our favorite parks. The layout is superb, it's close to the Botanic Gardens, the Mill and some great pubs. The staff are always friendly; the park is always clean and has plenty of activities. It's a hidden gem and one we will just keep coming back to in all seasons. Credit to the owners past and present it's a pleasure to visit.

Our stay at Big 4 Castlemaine was very good, our cabin was spotless and nicely prepared, it is in a great location and considering the terrible weather our cabin was very cosy and had all the facilities we needed for an enjoyable stay, we’ll definitely stay again
