Camping at Burleigh Heads, Queensland, ca. 1911

    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.

    Ready for the beach. All equipment handy, head protected, swimsuit well fitted, so play with sand and water is going to be the real enjoyment.
