Just in case you’ve been living under a rock, we’re here to tell you that glamping tents are awesome! Glamping tents are cabin-tent hybrids that offer the best of both worlds – a camping experience with all the luxuries of a hotel room.
Our friends at NRMA Parks and Resorts agree – that’s why they’ve put glamping tents in seven of their holiday parks around Australia. The latest park to get the luxury treatment is Murramarang Holiday Park. The three new camping tents are located just metres from the beach. Each tent has a kitchenette, ensuite, air-con, TV and veranda with barbecue.

If you’re looking for Queensland’s best coastal caravan parks, you’ve come to the right place.
Queensland is known as the sunshine state for a reason. With picture-perfect weather and access to the world-heritage listed Great Barrier Reef, it’s an unforgettable holiday destination. The state’s amazing coastline and stunning beaches are ripe for exploration! We may be slightly biased, but we think road tripping in a campervan or caravan is the best way to discover the coast. There’s something utterly unique about travelling at your own pace in a five-star hotel on wheels. There’s no need to pack and unpack each day, and the phrase “meals on wheels” has never been more accurate.
If you’re travelling by caravan or motorhome, you’ll need to stay at caravan parks. Unless you have a 100% self-contained vehicle, you’ll need to connect to mains power and access dump points on a regular basis. Luckily, QLD has some awesome holiday parks. So, we’ve handpicked our favourites just for you. If you’re travelling with pets or kids, we have a great option for you. We’ve also picked our favourite glamping options for luxury-lovers.
Without further ado, we’re proud to present the ultimate guide to coastal holiday parks in the sunshine state, just in time for your next summer road trip! You can book most of these caravan parks through our website or app for android or apple devices.
