Situated in the quiet suburb of Karabar within the Queanbeyan region, Crestview Tourist Park offers a serene and picturesque base for exploring the Australian Capital Territory and the surrounding New South Wales countryside. Although technically located in NSW, the park is geographically contiguous with Canberra, sitting just a short 15-minute drive from the Parliamentary Triangle and the city's major national attractions. This unique positioning allows guests to enjoy the relaxed, small-town atmosphere of Queanbeyan while having immediate access to the cultural richness of the capital. It is an ideal destination for families, grey nomads, and business travellers seeking a peaceful retreat away from the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
The park itself is renowned for its beautifully landscaped gardens and panoramic views towards the distant hills, living up to its "Crestview" name. Accommodation options are plentiful and cater to a wide variety of budgets and needs. Guests can choose from a range of self-contained cabins and villas, which include studio layouts for couples, spacious two-bedroom villas for families, and specialized pet-friendly options so your four-legged companions don't miss out on the holiday. For those towing their own home, the park provides generous powered sites suitable for caravans, camper trailers, and motorhomes. These sites are well-maintained, with easy access to power and water, and are situated close to the park's amenities.
Facilities at Crestview are designed to ensure a comfortable and hassle-free stay. The solar-heated swimming pool is a favourite during the warmer months, providing a refreshing way to cool down after a day of sightseeing. The BBQ area and camp kitchen serve as communal hubs where travellers can cook up a storm and share stories with fellow guests. Clean and modern amenities blocks, a guest laundry, and Wi-Fi access throughout the park add to the convenience. Security is also well-considered, offering peace of mind for families and solo travellers alike.
Beyond the park gates, the Queanbeyan region offers its own charm. The nearby Karabar Shopping Mall provides easy access to supermarkets and essential services, while the Queanbeyan CBD is home to historic pubs, diverse restaurants, and the scenic Queanbeyan River walk. Nature lovers are perfectly positioned to explore the spectacular Googong Foreshores for fishing and bushwalking, or take a scenic drive into the Brindabella ranges. Whether you are using it as a staging point for a snow trip, visiting friends and family in Canberra, or simply touring the region, Crestview Tourist Park delivers a welcoming, clean, and quiet accommodation experience that consistently rates highly with visitors.
