There’s something wonderfully unhurried about Mittagong — it’s a place that invites you to take your time, explore at your own pace, and find beauty in the small moments.
Start with Mount Gibraltar Lookout, where sweeping views stretch across the valleys and vineyards of the Southern Highlands. It’s just a few minutes from Mittagong Holiday Park, and the drive (or hike) up offers a peaceful start to your day.
For walkers, the Box Vale Walking Track is a must. This 7km return trail follows a disused railway line through shady bushland, leading to an old tunnel and breathtaking lookout. It’s moderately easy and filled with photo-worthy moments — perfect for families or couples looking for a gentle adventure.
Back in town, take a wander through Sturt Gallery & Studios, where local art, ceramics, and crafts are beautifully displayed. Stop by the attached café for a slice of cake and a cuppa.
Families will love Lake Alexandra Reserve, a peaceful spot for picnics and playground fun, while history buffs can explore Fitz Roy Iron Works, the site of Australia’s first iron smelter — right in the heart of town.
And if you’re visiting in spring, the Southern Highlands Botanic Gardens come alive with colour — a perfect stop for nature lovers and photographers alike.
With so much nearby, Mittagong Holiday Park offers the perfect base to explore the best of the Highlands — scenic, simple, and wonderfully serene.
