Canberra Park, located at 26 Old Well Station Road in Gungahlin, stands as one of the newest and most purpose-built accommodation precincts in the Australian Capital Territory. Strategically positioned just off the Federal Highway, it serves as an ideal gateway for visitors arriving from Sydney or the coast. Unlike older parks that have evolved over decades, Canberra Park was designed from the ground up with the modern traveller in mind, offering a seamless blend of spaciousness, accessibility, and contemporary facilities. Its location is particularly advantageous, sitting directly adjacent to Exhibition Park in Canberra (EPIC), making it the accommodation of choice for exhibitors and attendees of major events like Summernats and the National Folk Festival.
The park caters to a wide demographic, from grey nomads and families to large school groups and sports teams. For caravanners, the park offers over 70 powered sites, many of which are drive-through. These sites are a standout feature, boasting level concrete slabs that eliminate the need for intricate levelling, along with artificial turf surrounds that ensure a mud-free experience regardless of the weather. The internal roads are wide and sealed, allowing for easy manoeuvrability of even the largest fifth-wheelers and motorhomes. For those without a van, the park offers a range of modern villas and cabins, providing self-contained comfort with separate living areas and fully equipped kitchens.
Facilities at Canberra Park are state-of-the-art. The camp kitchen is a social hub, equipped with high-quality appliances and ample seating, encouraging communal dining and conversation. The amenities blocks are kept immaculately clean, featuring heating for those crisp Canberra mornings and accessible facilities for guests with mobility needs. While the park focuses on providing a quiet and secure base, it does not lack in essential services, offering a guest laundry, free Wi-Fi, and a dump point for unparalleled convenience. Security is also a priority, with boom gate access ensuring a safe environment for all guests and their vehicles.
Beyond the park boundaries, guests are perfectly situated to explore the region. The Gungahlin Town Centre is a mere five-minute drive away, offering major supermarkets, department stores, cafes, and a light rail terminal that connects directly to the Canberra Civic centre. Nature lovers will appreciate the proximity to the Goorooyarroo Nature Reserve, which offers excellent hiking and wildlife spotting opportunities. Whether you are in the capital for a school excursion, a major event at EPIC, or simply touring the national museums and galleries, Canberra Park provides a modern, comfortable, and highly accessible home away from home.
