Coolum Beach Holiday Park

Quite pricy for a caravan park (2 adults +one dog for a powered site for 3days is $262 for a shoulder period). No views from campsites. Many rules about how many nights you have to stay ( minimum 3 nights stay for “catholic shoulder” and we have to stay from 9-12/12 but not 10-13/12 because 13/12 become peak rate and it is minimum of 7 days….). And one vehicle per site, so you can’t have a car and a motorhome, even though there is enough space for it (as it is alright for caravans). No visitor vehicles. Some sites against the bush and road are pretty small, about the width of a footpath...mm.. I would say the least recommended site that in my own opinion and to remind myself of would be site 178 … On the good sides: Dog friendly sites available! Walking distance to the beach ( dog on leash allowed, life savers), shops and restaurants. No constant noise of campers come and go. Amenities seem pretty clean. Next to a skate park. 11am check in (10am check out).

The sites are very well maintained. Camp kitchen is very clean. Dogs allowed in designated areas. The park is right on the beach which is also dog friendly. Heaps of cafes and restaurants within walking distance

We've stayed here a few times. The location is great to walk to the beach, some sites are lovely for a premium price, and it's neat and tidy. but that's all. I wouldn't recommend it if you've got kids, it's not very kid friendly - cars absolutely race through. Reception is not super friendly. Washing machines work 50% of the time, dryers don't dry properly 50% of the time. At the price per night after travelling Australia, this is the highest we've ever paid p/n. We've stayed in epic beachfront places with waterparks, pools, amazing games and rec rooms, activities etc for significantly less p/n. There's absolutely none of that here - just the site & bathrooms and camp kitchen. Not even a tv room or anything. Honestly only worth about $35 per night if you're adults travelling and it would make sense.

Very happy with our stay. Dogs allowed in certain parts of camping ground, around half the place. Walking distance and easy access to beach, restaurants, and shops. The sea was really warm. Service station on the opposite side of the road to the camp site sells ice for around $3.50, whereas the camp-site sell ice for $6 a bag. Mc D is across the road, as well as a Service station. Some sites are more shaded than others. We were happy with our tent site, 173. We were half way between two amenity blocks and had shading morning and evening because of where the trees are situated. Saturday evening there was a pizza truck. The pizza was delicious and we even had the option for GF.

Just wanted to say the park was really nice – loads of room, everything you need, great showers, kitchen appliances, laundry, and easy access to the beach. All the shops are nearby too. Only thing I didn’t like was the young hot reception girl – a bit rude. But you can’t have it all, right. Anyway enjoyed it very much
