Never run out of gas again! 
When I was a child, growing up in Melbourne, Geelong was a long way away and a trip there involved planning and packed lunches. Now it is 45 minutes from the CBD and the perfect place for a short or long break holiday.
Geelong is the second largest city in Victoria and has a wonderful combination of new and old. There are some historic buildings from the 1800’s, plus stunning new developments, particularly at Waterfront Geelong. But nature plays a major part in the area too. The Moorabool valley has grown into a wine region due to some innovative wine makers who have taken on the challenge of producing varieties grown on a limestone and basalt base. And who can forget that it is a jumping off point for the Bellarine Peninsular and the world famous Great Ocean Road.
The El Dorado Tourist Park is ideally placed to be your base for that holiday you have been promising yourself. The McIvor family of Dave, Aileen and their four children Michael, Matthew, Sarah and Jenny, are all hands on with their park and have a two generational view on what you want. Because of this the park provides a superb place for all types of holidays.
If you do not want to bring your caravan then there are two and three bedroom cabins for you to choose from. If you bring your caravan, then you will be sure of an en-suite site, because that is all they have, and there is a wonderful camping area too. Once you are settled in then it is time to have a look at what the park has to offer, the kids can go wild on the jumping pillow or have a great time on the pedal go-karts and there is a swimming pool for those lovely summer days, and you are only 10 minutes from the heart of Geelong. On your way out, it is worth driving down the drive slowly to see the old equipment in the gardens.
Geelong is so much closer to everything these days but still gives you the ability to have city conveniences and country hospitality. Why not join the McIvor family at their park and find out what the area has to offer.
