BIG4 Holiday Parks is an Australian network of holiday parks founded in 1979. Headquartered in Melbourne, it has over 280 locations across the country.
As of 2025, there are over 280 Holiday Parks across Australia listed on BIG4.com.au. In their first few decades, their caravan parks have evolved into holiday parks with a range of accommodation styles, including cabins and campgrounds, and resort-like facilities such as pools, gardens, playgrounds, splash parks, games rooms, and villas. In recent years, their glamping tents have proven popular. [1] [2]
BIG4 was borne out of the partnership of four independent caravan park owners in Ballarat, Victoria, 1979. [2] One co-founder, Desmond Watts, was awarded an OAM in 2020 for his service to the tourism accommodation sector. [3] BIG4 became a successful franchise. In 2002, its 166 locations garnered $2.1 million in operating revenues in 2002, up from 61% in 2000. [2]
The Wiggles wrote a song for BIG4 as part of the companies’ major partnership. [4]
In 2017, BIG4 implemented a new business model and franchise arrangements. [5]
