Snowy River Holiday Park, Dalgety NSW

Take the whole family, fur babies too, on a charming winter holiday to the only holiday park on NSW’s Snowy River. Sitting on two hectares of land adjoining the river, this park is perfect for snow-loving families, with a range of accommodation options from cabins to unpowered sites, plus a drying room for little shredders to unload their gear before rugging up for a cosy night in.
