April reopening for Omeo Caravan Park in Victoria

East Gippsland Shire Council is committed to having the Caravan Park at Omeo reopened by the 14th of April just before Easter. Some areas of the park will still have temporary closures and no cabins will be available. A flood in early January caused well-documented damage to the park and amenities, local roads and other public facilities such as Livingstone Park and the pump track. Council has made remedial action a priority in Omeo and surrounds. General Manager Business Excellence, Peter Cannizzaro said it was likely to take up until Easter for flood remedial works to be completed at the

Stunning location: Lake Placid Rainforest Retreat, Queensland

Lake Placid Tourist Park, Queensland – image Overland Exposure Just north of Cairns in Queensland, in 14 acres of tropical rainforest there’s a well kept park waiting for you. Thanks to our CAMPS Ambassadors, Manda and Daniel for sending these wonderful photos. They said it was a: “Stunning location surrounded by rainforest, mountains and Lake Placid/Barron River just out the gate. Nice sites, only just big enough for our rig, welcoming and helpful staff. Amenities were wonderful and always clean. Loved walking to the Lake Placid Picnic Area and lookout to feed the ducks each day.” Also onsite are bungalows, villas and

Beaches & Coasts

Coolum Beach Holiday Park, Coolum, Queensland

I visited Coolum last week and checked out the only Coolum caravan park – and it’s a beautiful one in a brilliant location. With at least 3 beach entrances, the surf and sand are right on your doorstep! There’s a park and playground on either side – outside the park. A bottle-o, supermarket, shops and eateries are over the road- plus the Coolum Surf Club next door. Bring your bike as you can cycle or walk both north and south on the coast path. Plus you can climb Mt Coolum. When we stayed, the kids loved having the shops so

Stay at the Getaway Tourist Park, Coonabarabran, New South Wales

Traveller John Missen recommends Getaway Tourist Park, situated on the Newell Highway at Coonabarabran in NSW. He said, “It is a great place to stay to explore, among other things, the Warrumbungles (volcanic mountain peaks) and also the Siding Springs Observatory. The observatory houses a large astronomical telescope surrounded by a viewing floor.” Pet friendly, it is NSW site 125 in Caravan Parks 5, or find it on the Camps Australia Wide App. The park has a dump point, pool, playground and BBQs. Another CAMPS traveller described it as “spotless”, “friendly” and “no frills, my kind of park”. Add it to your #postlockdownbucketlist. The Pilliga is
