Motorhome rental – where to stay in Brisbane

Posted on

So, you’ve picked up your rental motorhome from Brisbane, and you’re excited to explore Australia. Beautiful Brisbane (also known as the river city) is the perfect gateway to sunny Queensland. Queensland is home to many tropical rain forests, picture-perfect beaches and so much more.

We strongly recommend booking your first night’s accommodation before you arrive in Brisbane. We know you’re keen to get on the road, but driving when tired can be very dangerous, particularly after a long-haul flight.

Camping on the side of the road in Brisbane is strictly prohibited; you must stay in a caravan park or designated campground. Luckily, staying at a caravan park offers many other advantages. If you book a powered site, you’ll be able to connect your camper van to electricity. You’ll also have access to amenities like camp kitchens and swimming pools. 

We’ve found three places to stay on your first night after picking up your rental vehicle from Brisbane, depending on your travel plans.
