Caravan Parks Redcliffe

Redcliffe Showgrounds

If you’re looking for the basics, this wide open space is an ideal option. It’s designed specifically for caravans and motorhomes, tenting is strictly prohibited. The space was originally a cricket ground and it’s now used for a wide variety of events, which does sometimes restrict certain dates for camping. The best way to avoid disappointment is to check the schedule and book your slot well in advance!

There are unpowered and powered sites available, and the prices are based on two people, with an additional charge for every adult or child in your party. You can stay up to four weeks at a time, typically booking six weeks in advance. You are allowed to bring your pets along, as long as you keep them on a lead at all times. There’s also a Sunday market every weekend from 6 am to 11 am, and it costs just 20 cents to enter, with the fee going directly to charity.

In Moreton Bay, there are several more caravan parks to choose from outside of the Redcliffe Peninsula if you don’t mind travelling around 40 minutes.

Choosing the Right Caravan Park

When looking for a caravan park, there are a few things to keep in mind. The first is location – you want a convenient spot to serve as your base as you explore both the local and wider area. What type of activities do you like? What do you want to explore? Make sure you’re close enough to what you want to enjoy!

You should also consider what facilities are available, whether there’s Wi-Fi access if you need it, laundry services and shower facilities. You may prefer to stay further out if there are more amenities. It’s also important to check whether the site is accessible for a caravan of your size and whether you need a powered site or can make do with an unpowered one.

Always check the site rules to determine whether you can travel with a pet. Read reviews to get a better idea of what to expect from travellers who have already stayed. Of course, compare costs to ensure your choices fit your budget.

Always book your site in advance, especially if you travel in peak season.
