HOLIDAY makers are booking Loddon caravan park sites more than a year ahead.
Bridgewater park is already at capacity for the 2026 March long weekend.
“This year, we had an extensive waitlist, and over 40 people missed out on a site,” said Kristy Hourigan.
“Within days of people returning home, they had been on the phone or email to lock in return visits to Bridgewater next year.
“Bridgewater is seeing fantastic growth as a friendly, riverside holiday destination.”
Kristy said the Flavours of Loddon event had expanded the long weekend offering and added to the park’s atmosphere.
“Local food and beverage stalls were right there for campers to enjoy, we had so many raving reviews from the campers who were staying the weekend,” she said.
At Wedderburn, the park was close to capacity over the long weekend for the gold detector jamboree.
Next weekend, the park makes another pitch to gold detector enthusiasts.
The three-day detector experience will start with a Friday night campfire happy hour followed by workshops and goldfield expeditions.
