BIG4 Bendigo Ascot Holiday Park

We called into the BIG4 Bendigo Ascot Holiday Park to take some photos and have a look around this conveniently located park just off the Calder Highway - as you drive into Bendigo from the north. This is a neat park on the outskirts of Bendigo and well sign-posted from the Calder Highway - easy to find.  

There are a range of cabins (Studio Cabins to three bedroom, two bathroom villas), as well as powered and unpowered caravan and camping sites. Some of the lovely family villas have decks that overlook the jumping pillow, mini golf and the children's playground - convenient. Another plus, on the decks of many villas is a gate across the top of the stairs to keep toddlers safely enclosed, meaning mum (or dad) can relax for a little while.

The park seems to be surrounded by relatively new fencing and the gardens are neat and tidy. A pool sits near reception and the entrance to the park which features a heated spa. This is a welcoming area surrounded by grass and plenty of seating options with lovely shrubs planted around the outside. Looks inviting.

There are a number of activities of the children which include a jumping pillow (with shade sails), mini golf, open grassed areas, children’s playground (with shade sails), 1/2 basketball court, recreation room, and even a toddlers play room. Alongside the jumping pillow are three large picnic tables to sit and watch the kids and these are conveniently located near a covered barbeque area. Near the entrance to the park is a lovely swimming pool and spa - surrounded by grass with plenty of seating options.

The roads around the caravan park are gravel and there are plenty of trees for shade. The un-powered caravan or camping sites are close to the barbeque facilities and only a short distance to the camp kitchen.  

BIG4 Bendigo Ascot Holiday Park is conveniently located near the Bendigo Racecourse and Jockey Club where they recently held the Red Hot Summer concert featuring a number of Australian bands - people staying at the park told us they could hear the music but it was not a problem.

It is easy access to the centre of town and we found the staff to be very helpful.
