Take a caravan camping adventure to Proserpine, the gateway to the Great Barrier Reef.
The hardest decision for caravan campers during a getaway to Proserpine is whether to park near the beach or the lakeside. Here, in-town holiday parks with powered sites tend to provide access to free swimming, tennis courts, BBQ facilities—all just a quick 20-minute drive to Airlie Beach. This popular coastal destination is perfect for relaxing on the sandy shores or boarding a cruise to the stunning Whitsunday Islands for ocean swims with turtles and Heart Reef flyovers. Reserve a powered caravan campsite with a private bathroom at a luxury park near Airlie Beach, or look out for unpowered, pull-through campsites on grass. (Some have free wifi, plus modern camp kitchens and amenities blocks.) Peter Faust Dam, just a 30-minute drive from Proserpine, is another popular summertime spot for caravan families. Anglers can head out for barramundi fishing from waterfront sites equipped with BBQs, firepits, and on-site shops with snacks and supplies.
