Minyip Caravan Park
Minyip Caravan Park, also known as Minyip Community Caravan Park, is located just off Petering Street, Minyip, and integrates with the Minyip Wetlands. It offers a relaxed and community-oriented stay, operating on an honesty system with no booking required for caravan and camp sites.
