EV-friendly caravan stays across Victoria’s inland routes

Choose a region

Plan one inland escape at a time

Ballarat makes a useful western Victorian base from Melbourne; Halls Gap puts the Grampians close at hand; Mildura is a longer trip with a distinctly different pace along the Murray. These parks are not a single close-set loop. Choose the region that suits your leave, then use the vehicle navigation to work out a realistic departure charge and overnight arrival reserve.

If towing, use a route planner that accounts for your vehicle and trailer, and plan charging before turning onto a remote park access road.

Three inland parks with operator-listed charging

NRMA lists destination charging at Ballarat, Halls Gap and Mildura Riverside. Its published table shows a communal charger at each park, at differing power levels. As charger counts, power, pricing and access may change, confirm the current arrangement with the park and ask whether the parking bay suits your vehicle and caravan.

Route charging

Make the corridor stop before the scenic detour

Start each regional leg with the Victorian charging network map and your car's own navigation. Charge near a larger town before diverting into the Grampians or continuing along the Murray, then verify the next stop in the operator app. The campsite charger is best treated as a destination top-up while the car is parked for hours, not a replacement for a public DC charging break.

Keep one compatible backup stop in the plan, especially on longer legs or during busy holiday periods.

Booking checklist

Ask the park four questions before you reserve

Confirm whether the station is shared or cabin-only, whether a charging fee applies, whether your vehicle's connector is supported and whether the caravan can remain attached. Don't plug an EV into an ordinary powered site outlet unless the park and a qualified professional specifically approve the setup.
