Park your caravan where the beach and the rainforest are both just a short drive away.
There's a reason why caravanners from the Gold Coast and Brisbane flock to Queensland's Sunshine Coast on the weekends and during family holidays. Known for its uncrowded beaches, cute cafes, and lush green hinterland, it's also an ideal Aussie camping getaway that caters to a range of visitors, including campervan travellers. Closer to the coast and the suburbs of Caloundra, Mooloolaba, Mudjimba, and Maroochydore is where you're more likely to find full-service caravan parks and holiday parks, with family-friendly amenities like games rooms, swimming pools, free wifi, laundry facilities, tennis courts, and barbecue grills. But if you head up into the Sunshine Coast Hinterland toward Mapleton and Kenilworth, you can find prime camping sites in idyllic spots along the Mary River and among the lush rainforest. These caravan sites tend to be unpowered, although some offer camp kitchens and glamping sites for those who are after a little more.
