Advancetown Caravan Park (CP)

Nestled in the serene and lush Gold Coast hinterland, Advancetown Caravan Park offers a unique holiday experience that masterfully blends tranquil nature with convenient access to world-famous attractions.1 This small, family-owned and operated park has earned a reputation for being a friendly, peaceful, and immaculately maintained retreat, often described as the “Gold Coast’s tidiest park”. Surrounded by scenic bushland and the pleasant sounds of native birdlife, the park provides a genuine escape from the hustle and bustle, fostering a quiet community atmosphere that appeals to families, couples, and retirees alike.

What sets this park apart is its strategic location. While guests can immerse themselves in the peaceful hinterland environment, they are only a short drive from the heart of the Gold Coast’s action. The region’s major theme parks are just 13 kilometres away, the iconic beaches of Surfers Paradise are a 15-kilometre drive, and the stunning recreational area of Hinze Dam is a mere two-minute journey from the park. This dual appeal allows visitors to design their perfect holiday, whether it involves adventurous days at theme parks and vibrant nights in the city, or quiet days exploring rainforests and relaxing by the water. As a proudly pet-friendly destination, the park ensures that every member of the family, including the furry ones, can be part of the cherished memories created in this special corner of Queensland.
