(864 reviews)

Ten acres of beachfront land sitting directly beside the Coolum Surf Club, with Pandanus trees providing shade and the patrolled surf a short walk from your tent peg. The location is the whole argument here. Sites are well-maintained, the camp kitchen is clean, and roughly half the park is dog-friendly, with beach access that also allows leashed dogs. Cafes and restaurants are genuinely walkable. That said, pricing sits at the higher end of the caravan park spectrum, minimum stay rules apply across peak and shoulder periods, and facilities are stripped back: sites, bathrooms, and camp kitchen. No pool, no rec room. A Saturday evening pizza truck does the rounds. Come for the beachfront position and the dog-friendly setup, not the amenities list.

What People Say

MiaY LE6 months ago

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).

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.
