Visit the Mother Cluckin’ Hen House
It’s the simple pleasures in life that are usually the most fun and the Mother Cluckin' Hen House never disappoints.

And let’s be honest – the adults get pretty into it too!
Chase the Sunset!

The sunsets out here don’t mess around and we can guarantee that you’ll be mesmerised watching the sky transform right before you!
Fire Pit Nights on the Swinging Chairs
When the sun goes down, the place to be is around the fire pit making new friends and memories. Grab a spot on the swinging chairs, toast a marshmallow and swap a few fishing stories with fellow travellers. You never know – these moments might become your favourite bits of the trip.
Stargazing
The stars don’t just come out at Lake Coolmunda – they put on a proper show! With wide open skies and no city light getting in the way, the skies transform into the kind of place where you can actually stop, look up and lose track of time for a while.
So, if you’re chasing big sunsets, fire pits, country skies and a bit of peace – you can’t go wrong with a stay at Lake Coolmunda Caravan Park.
