Santa has been spotted in numerous parts of East Gippsland in the lead-up to Christmas, including at Echo Bend. (PS)

Santa has been spotted in numerous parts of East Gippsland in the lead-up to Christmas, including at Echo Bend. (PS)

Christmas is just around the corner, and the “Jolly Man in Red” will soon be flying high in the sky, making his way to Echo Bend Camping Park in Glenaladale.

Looking for a magical way to spend the holidays without travelling far? Echo Bend offers a tranquil bush setting just minutes from home, perfect for a relaxing break over December and January.

Whether you want to do very little or take short walks nearby, the Mitchell River provides a stunning backdrop for unwinding, relaxing or even enjoying a refreshing swim.

Visitors can bring their swags or tents, or opt for powered sites for a little extra comfort.

The park features clean toilets and hot showers, plenty of space to gather with friends, and cosy fire pits for chilly evenings. Campers are encouraged to decorate their sites so Santa can find them, making for a festive and memorable bush Christmas experience.

For essentials and treats, the park’s Bark Hut Tearoom offers coffee, scones, ice cream, and other must-haves for a comfortable stay.
