Camping sites in the Gold Coast area

Camping and caravanning is one of the more rewarding ways to explore and experience a place. This is especially true in a country famous for the great outdoors.

There are plenty of campsites tucked away – but if you don’t know where they are you can easily miss them. People often assume that it won’t be difficult to find a place to stopover on a budget but soon discover it can be a lot more expensive than anticipated. Or worse, they can’t find somewhere to stop and continue driving when they are tired.

Camps Australia Wide - Main Beach Tourist Park

Tried and tested: Main Beach Tourist Park

30 November, 2018

Last weekend we realised our caravan plus the tow A-frame is closer to 24 foot, not 23. When you visit Main Beach Caravan Park, if yours is a similar length, ask for a longer site.  Just a moderate sized park in-between Southport and Surfers Paradise, QLD, the staff were welcoming, and facilities CLEAN! Our new site was situated perfectly between the amenities and the pool.  The caravan park is directly opposite the beach. Our main drawcard. The kids were back and forth a few times a day for a surf or a paddle. We had our Jayco Starcraft Outback, plus

Camps Australia Wide - Bargara Beach Caravan Park

Tried and tested: Bargara Beach Caravan Park

17 December, 2018

Bargara Beach Caravan Park is located across the road from the patrolled beach, and playgrounds at Neilsen Park, on the northern side of town. The park was quiet and friendly. Even though there was a major surf lifesaving carnival on that weekend, there was still ample spaces, plenty of shade, and on our wanders each night we realised it was a large park. It had a dump point, was dog friendly, the amenities and playground were close by. There wasn’t a pool, but we cooled off at the beach instead! And when we weren’t checking out the coastline, it was
