GO BIG! Because these BIG4 parks still have April availability

Go on, be spontaneous. But don’t take our word for it. Once you check out the BIG4 Holiday Parks below, all of which have April availability, you’ll be packing the bags (and a van) at lightning speed. Whether you’re heading up the north coast of New South Wales, exploring tropical Queensland or kicking back in the South Australian desert, you’ll discover that this is your moment to GO BIG for unwinding.

1. BIG4 Colonial Holiday Park

Located in Harrington, New South Wales, the BIG4 Colonial Holiday Park is the perfect base if you’ve got the Mid North Coast on your mind. There are powered sites aplenty as well as a swimming pool, air hockey table and arcade games. And with Crowdy Bay and Harrington Beach right up the road, there’s a never-ending supply of outdoor adventures on offer too.

2. BIG4 Casino Holiday Park

The Northern Rivers region has long been a favourite holiday destination, and the BIG4 Casino Holiday Park has everything needed for a fun, family-friendly break over Easter. Spend some time exploring Richmond Range and Bundjalung national parks before taking advantage of BIG4’s swimming pool and nine-hole golf course. The kids are sure to love this spot (and luckily any big kids will too).

3. BIG4 Ocean Shores Holiday Park

Sticking with Northern NSW for now and BIG4 Ocean Shores should be the first port of call for anyone longing for a beachside escape. The park is right across the road from Manning Point, the northern terminus of a huge stretch of sand known for its surfing and fishing opportunities. The Manning River is also a short walk away, but if you’d prefer to stay a little closer to your temporary home, the park has a pool, games room and jumping pillow.

4. BIG4 Bendigo Marong Holiday Park

There’s a reason why Melburnians are flocking to Bendigo and property prices are only half the story. One of Victoria’s fastest-growing cities, Bendigo boasts beautiful architecture, a rich gold-rush history and a thriving arts scene. The BIG4 Bendigo Marong Holiday Park is a great place to base while exploring the region; kids will love the pool and playground, while adults will appreciate not only the wineries dotted around the outskirts of town, but also the on-site golf simulator.

5. BIG4 Yarra Valley Park Lane Holiday Park

Speaking of wine, the BIG4 Yarra Valley Park Lane is smack bang in the heart of Victoria's wine country, making it a top-notch base for exploring countless award-winning wineries and cellar doors. Check out Healesville, with its pubs and animal sanctuary, or head further afield to Lake Mountain for views of the region or perhaps even snow. The Valley Market in Warburton, which is held the first Sunday of every month, is also a good option for anyone partial to arts, crafts, coffee or tasty treats.

6. BIG4 Whitsundays Tropical Eco Resort

The Whitsundays – need we say more? Conveniently plopped in Airlie Beach, at the edge of the Great Barrier Reef, this family-friendly eco-resort makes for an epic spot on any Far North Queensland road trip. Given the heat, there’s a refreshing pool and outdoor cinema, but it’s really the location that’s key here. There are snorkelling, diving and fishing opportunities aplenty, plus the rainforest-clad Conway National Park just south of Airlie Beach.

7. BIG4 Lake Maraboon Holiday Village

Located on the shores of Lake Maraboon, in the heart of Queensland's Central Highlands, the BIG4 Lake Maraboon Holiday Village is a great place to base yourself for exploring the region's natural beauty. The lake is Queensland’s second largest, so you’ll no doubt find a waterfront swimming spot all to yourself, though there’s a pool at the village if you’d prefer. Kayaks are available for hire as fishing and boating are the big draw cards here, though Carnarvon National Park a couple of hours down the road. And if you want to combine the country with the coast? Rockhampton and the Capricorn Coast are only a three-hour journey east.

8. BIG4 Kelso Sands Holiday and Native Wildlife Park

It’s Tassie time, folks. Kelso Sands is right on the northern Tasmanian coast, at the mouth of the River Tamar, and comes with plenty of friendly locals including wombats, possums, potoroos, wallabies and Eastern spotted quolls. Launceston and the Tamar Valley wine region are well within reach, as is the Spirit of Tasmania ferry – road trip to Tassie, anyone?

9. BIG4 Howard Springs Holiday Park

Litchfield National Park. Mary River Wetland. Kakadu. These are just a few of the places you could be exploring during a stay at BIG4 Howard Springs, which is a short drive from Darwin and boasts three pools, a water park and a playground. It could be a once-in-a-lifetime trip to see some of Australia’s most beautiful destinations.

10. BIG4 Stuart Range Outback Resort

The BIG4 Stuart Range Outback Resort, in famous Coober Pedy, is a top spot to experience the rugged beauty of the South Australian desert. The iconic Oodnadatta Track is a couple of hours away and there’s a pool to wash off all that red dirt once you’re done (but seriously, please shower before you do). Be sure to visit Kati Thanda-Lake Eyre National Park while you’re in the region – the sunset alone is worth the drive.

11. BIG4 Narrawong Island Holiday Park

Appealingly situated by the banks of the Surry River, yet only a short walk from the beach, BIG4 Narrawong Island is a peaceful place to retreat to in South West Victoria. The historic town of Port Fairy is 45 minutes away, but if you’re after a local nature fix, you’ll love Narrawong’s fishing, surfing, kayaking and swimming opportunities. Winter brings whales to the coastline, but in warmer months there are mountain bike trails to explore at Mt Clay, a number of bush walks, the Bay of Whales Gallery and Narrawong Lavender Farm (to name a few). Picturesque Portland is also a 15-minute drive down the road, so don’t be a stranger.

Oh, and one more thing. If you’re looking for a different BIG4 Holiday Park with last-minute availability, you can search through every state right here. There’s really no excuse not to head off on an April adventure.
