Alivio Tourist Park is widely considered Canberra's premier holiday park accommodation, offering a unique blend of modern resort luxury and tranquil Australian bushland. Located in the leafy suburb of O'Connor, just four kilometres from the heart of the Canberra CBD, Alivio provides an exceptional base for families, couples, and groups exploring the nation's capital. Unlike traditional caravan parks, Alivio feels more like a secluded retreat, nestled amongst seven hectares of native gardens and gum trees at the base of Black Mountain and O'Connor Ridge.
The accommodation options at Alivio are diverse and designed to suit a range of budgets and travel styles. The park features an impressive array of architecturally designed cabins and villas, ranging from cosy one-bedroom studios to expansive three-bedroom villas that can sleep large families in comfort. For those travelling with their own rig, the park offers landscaped powered sites suitable for caravans, motorhomes, and camper trailers. These sites are widely praised for their concrete slabs and easy drive-through access, ensuring a hassle-free setup.
What truly sets Alivio apart is its resort-style facilities. The centrepiece of the park is the stunning pool deck, complete with a swimming pool, a heated spa, and a water play area that keeps children entertained for hours. Sports enthusiasts will appreciate the tennis, basketball, and badminton courts, while the multiple playgrounds cater to younger guests. Perhaps the most convenient feature is "The Verandah," an on-site licensed restaurant and bar. Overlooking the pool and the bushland beyond, it serves breakfast and dinner, allowing guests to enjoy a high-quality meal or a relaxing drink without ever leaving the park.
Despite its proximity to the city centre, the park remains quiet and peaceful, frequented by local wildlife including kangaroos and colourful parrots. Its location offers direct access to the walking and mountain biking trails of the Canberra Nature Park, making it ideal for outdoor lovers. Essential services such as a modern camp kitchen, guest laundry, and immaculate amenities blocks are maintained to a high standard. Whether you are visiting for the Floriade festival, exploring the nearby Australian Institute of Sport, or simply transiting through the ACT, Alivio Tourist Park delivers a sophisticated and relaxing camping experience that is a cut above the rest.
