People have been visiting Burleigh Heads for camping holidays since the early 1900s – it’s not hard to see why. This Gold Coast caravan park continues the long standing tradition and with its beach side village vibe, sheltered swimming spot, peeling point break, thriving foodie scene and incredible National Park, Burleigh is better than ever. Burleigh Beach Tourist Park is 200m from the infamous Burleigh Point – arguably the best headland in the world to sit and watch the world go by. There’s plenty of people watching, the panorama of Surfers Paradise in the distance and a birds eye view of the surfers below. Burleigh Hill is the perfect spot for a picnic or BBQ under the shade of the Norfolk Pines. If you’re up for an adventure explore the scenic walking tracks that weave through the National Park, leading to the stunning Tallebudgera Creek.

Burleigh Heads, or simply Burleigh to locals, sits like a cool comma between Surfers Paradise to the north and Coolangatta to the south. It’s a picturesque punctuation mark along the Gold Coast and most definitely somewhere to pause. The Burleigh foreshore is home to towering fragrant pine trees characteristic of the coast .

The Aboriginal Dreaming Story of Burleigh Head "Jellurgal (Burleigh Head) was once a flat and unbroken stretch of sand dunes. The Creation Spirit, Jabreen, transformed it into a rocky outcrop. One day his pathway led him to the ocean beach where he took a long swim to the horizon and back. Emerging from the water, Jabreen, a giant of enormous stature, rose up to his full height and raised his arms skywards. As he did, the level ground followed his hands upwards to the level of his fingertips, thus forming the headland of Jellurgal with the rocky fingers pointing seawards."
